"Asobi Asobase" is an anime that began airing in July 2018, and is based on the original work by Suzukawa Rin. It is published in Young Animal, published by Hakusensha, and is currently a popular serialized work. On the surface, it is a yuri-like slice-of-life story featuring cute girls, but once you open it up, it is full of surreal gags, dirty jokes, awful facial expressions, and dark humor, making it a very controversial work in a good way. Today, we will introduce Olivia, one of the main characters of Asobi Asobase.
A brief introduction to the contents of Asobi Asobase

The story revolves 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 content is a very high-level gag comedy (lol)

One of the main characters of Asobi Asobase, a junior high school student whose parents are both foreigners. She looks like a foreigner, with a beautiful face and figure, and is a very pretty girl. However, she is not very smart, and her English grades are particularly poor, but because of her fluent appearance, people mistake her for being good at English. Although Olivia is such a fool, she is gradually shifting to a position of common sense among the eccentric members of the Aso Research Club (at least among the crazy members of the Aso Research Club).
Super cute Olivia
Olivia's personality

Basically, she has a bright and carefree personality, and is the type who thinks that things will work out somehow. However, most of the time things don't work out, so she often regrets things later on. In the beginning, she was in a position of a troublemaker, but among the eccentrics that make up the Aso Research Club, she's actually the most normal. It's so normal that you'd be fooled into thinking it's normal.
Olivia's grades are disastrous

"Was it normal? 25 points for a careless mistake?"
As you can see, she has a brain that can get 25 points for a careless mistake. She also accomplished the feat of tutoring in all subjects. After all, she looks so good that she needs to have some negative points.
Olivia is surprisingly scared

She is generally a cheerful person, but she also has a surprisingly scared side. When pursuing Aozora Tsugumi, he was overwhelmed by her spirit and gave up, and when playing hide-and-seek with Oka-san, he was so scared that his character completely collapsed. He also has a lot of timid sides, such as not being able to admit to his classmates that he can't speak English. This just makes him even cuter, doesn't it?
Olivia's apocrine sweat glands

The apocrine sweat glands are inseparable from talking about Olivia. Olivia is bright, energetic, and an incredibly beautiful girl. The flaw that God bestowed upon her wasn't stupidity, but body odor... In the beginning, only Hanako and Kasumi knew about it, but later we learn that the student council knew about it too. However, it turns out that in reality, her odor was so bad that all of her classmates could notice it.
But Olivia is okay with it
Hanako: "Based on the odor index regulation guidelines published by the Ministry of the Environment, it's a number that's within the safe range of being left alone... so it's totally okay."
Kasumi: "There are gentlemen (perverts) who like that kind of smell, too."
Kasumi: "And... we've gotten used to it."

So there's no problem. Even if there are scenes where Olivia is sweating or looks hot, don't make the mistake of thinking she stinks. Let's all be gentlemen!Olivia is fashionable

There have been a lot of disappointing parts, so let's change the flow a little. Olivia is unusual for an anime character in that she changes her hairstyle all the time. Most of the hairstyles are quite high-level, so I'd like to introduce some of Olivia's super cute hairstyles.

Is this the best Olivia? It's not like she put on anything special, she just let her hair down naturally with a headband on, but it's very cute.Twintail Via

Is this a hairstyle that is used relatively often? Blonde twintails are one of the irresistible hairstyles for fans.Asuna-style Via

I don't know what it's called, but it's a hairstyle with side braids. It looks pretty difficult, but it's cute.Upvia

A close-up of her making a bun. Yes, I think it looks cool. I think it's best to make it as breathable as possible. When it's hot, you sweat and all sorts of things. It's nothing, sorry.Snail Livia

I have no idea what her name is, but it looks like a very difficult hairstyle with a snail on top of her head. She's really stylish, even though she's busy in the mornings.The presence of Olivia's older brother

Olivia has an older brother. The relationship between the siblings seems to be relatively good, and Olivia is quite attached to her older brother. However, as a character of this author, he is a very unique person both in appearance and personality, so I hope you will see him for yourself.Olivia Summary!

In exchange for her extreme cuteness, she has been given a few weaknesses in her brain and armpits (lol) but viewers can't smell her, so it's no problem at all! Even so, it's really surprising that Olivia, who seemed a bit sneaky at first, has now become the most normal person (by Asoken standards, anyway). Let's look forward to seeing her in all sorts of different hairstyles and showing off her cute side!
