"Asobi Asobase" is an anime that began airing in July 2018, and is based on the original work by Suzukawa Rin. It is currently being serialized in Hakusensha's Young Animal and is receiving rave reviews. On the surface, it is a yuri-esque slice-of-life story featuring cute girls, but once you open it up, it's full of surreal gags, dirty jokes, awful facial expressions, and dark humor, making it a very controversial work in a good way. Today, we'll be introducing the funny faces that are one of the best parts of Asobi Asobase!
A brief introduction to the contents of Asobi Asobase

The story centers around the "Playboy Research Club," a group of three beautiful middle school girls, each with their own unique characteristics. The three girls look like beautiful girls, but inside they are all different kinds of "idiots," and contrary to their cute appearances they engage in hardcore gags, facial expressions, dirty jokes, and black humor. As they are a club that studies games, there are a few games that appear in the story, but the main focus is on the three girls messing around over things that don't really make sense. Anyway, don't be fooled by the pictures, because the contents are a very high-level gag comedy (lol)

We will introduce some funny faces of Hanako, who is also the captain of the funny faces of Asobi Asobase, but before that, please burn the beautiful Hanako above into your mind before going down. Let's find out together if they are the same person and which one is the real Hanako!

This is a very famous scene. This is what happens when you smell Olivia's armpits (lol) Hanako showed off some amazing funny faces.

This face perfectly describes despair (lol) When Hanako, who is a real-life happy person, is defeated by the most detestable opponent, she becomes a wreck like this.

Hanako wants to see the administrator of the Magical Site (lol) In front of the great justice of Boin-sama, flat-chested Hanako has already lost her sense of self (lol)

I like this face, so refreshingly relieved as she pursues Kasumi, who was falsely accused. Hanako is truly the best when she gives in to her anger. I want to go crazy and become that stupid (lol)
Olivia's funny face

Olivia makes a different type of funny face than Hanako. Anyway, before you go down, make sure you take a good look at the beautiful Olivia above and then go down (lol)
Olivia's funny face 1

This is Olivia's funny face shown in episode 1. Just when you thought this was the beginning of a super-beautiful anime, this happened, so many viewers must have been shocked.

This is also a funny face that she showed in episode 1. She looks like a Dutch waifu. If you think about it like that, Via really was a funny character in the beginning.

In the original work, it was just a picture, but in the anime, Nagae Rika's ad-libbed voice of "Haaaaaa" was added, which made the scene much better!

From this point on, Via has become relatively normal, so her funny faces have become cute. The only thing I can say is that she's cute no matter what face she makes.
Nomura Kasumi's funny faces

Kasumi is also quite good at making funny faces, but her characteristic is that she makes very realistic faces rather than Hanako-style ones. In terms of impact, she is slightly inferior to Hanako, but the gap is quite large. For now, please make sure you have a good image of Kasumi before proceeding (lol)

She's being looked at with extremely cold eyes (lol) This is a famous scene where Kasumi got angry because Olivia was reluctant to join the Aso Research Club (lol)

Kasumi is always riling up the opponent. She seems to have mastered the winning formula of getting the opponent fired up and letting them let their guard down so she can defeat them. Tactician Nomura!

Aside from the real patterns, there are many patterns where the characters turn pale like this. Kasumi is also known for being busy, turning red, blue, and cold.

This isn't a funny face, but it's also good that Kasumi does silly things that she doesn't usually do.

After all, they're part of the Asoken Club, so they often make funny faces together. I'll introduce a few of them, so I know I'm being repetitive, but please burn the above Kirara-like three into your mind before proceeding (lol)

Hanako's eyes look scary, don't they? (lol) The three of them blackmailed the teacher and made him their advisor, which was a perfect match for the Aso Research Club members (lol)

This was really funny (lol) Olivia went crazy, Hanako was just entertaining, and Kasumi was surprised by the strange voice, and it was a great teamwork of funny faces (lol)

Oka-san's Funny Face

This guy is usually eccentric, so even when he's quiet he makes a funny face, but this is pretty amazing (lol) It really feels like Oka-ken!
Fujiwara's funny face

This guy usually makes funny faces, but what's with this strangely scary face (lol) If you see this guy in pitch black, you'll definitely want to run away.
Aozora's funny face

Unfortunately, it's not a funny face at all, but please look at the pretty face at the end to make yourself feel better. But it's strangely too realistic, which is scary in its own way. Will Aozora show us a funny face someday? I want to see it, but I don't want to see it...

What did you think? Isn't this a work that truly deserves to be called a cover and OP scam? As they say in the commercial, it's a clever way of doing it. Who would have imagined that they would lure you in with a cute picture and then have a super hard comedy manga inside? (lol) But thanks to being lured in, I was able to find such a great work, so it all worked out in the end. If by any chance you haven't seen it yet, don't let the cover fool you! You won't regret it. Well, that was a roundup of Asobi Asobase's funny faces!
