History Manga / AsobiAsobase

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: A mobile game the girl played, ''Marchen Hell'', has its playable characters lined up like this. In terms of appearance, all except Kaeru-san are cute humanoid animals. In terms of ''ability'', however, each one has a uniquely positive combat stat except Kon-chan, who cheerfully says she has "a horrible personality".

* TrainingMontage: Hanako trains a stag beetle to help break into the Student Council office with a montage of lifting weights, drinking egg yolks, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers learning basic arithmetic]].

* ForWantOfANail: In Chapter 14 (Episode 5), Hanako's attempts at pen spinning during a study session with Kasumi and Olivia leads to an improbable chain of events ending with her ''accidentally burning down the bistro the girls are in''.

* EnfantTerrible: In Episode 12, the Pastimers Club are assigned to temporarily babysit Daniel, the infant son of one of Chisato's friends. Unfortunately, Hanako and Olivia discover how bad-mannered he is, from groping Kasumi's GagBoobs (without her noticing), to snarking over Hanako's flat chest, to screaming about Olivia's spicy armpits, to using his pacifier like a cigarette, and pulling Hanako's pigtail onto a working electric fan.

* DoesNotLikeMen: Both Chisato and Kasumi are afraid of men. When Kasumi and Chisato realize how alike they are in that regard, Kasumi brags that unlike Chisato, she's perfectly fine with the prospect of being a spinster.

* DoesNotLikeMen: Both Chisato and Kasumi are afraid of men, which in the former's case led to her becoming a ChristmasCake. When Kasumi and Chisato realize how alike they are in that regard, Kasumi brags that unlike Chisato, she's perfectly fine with the prospect of being a spinster.

* BaitAndSwitchCredits: The opening theme, "Three Piece", is a cute and fluffy song with visuals of the three protagonists in white sundresses with [[YuriGenre copious lilies everywhere]], suggesting that it's an easygoing slice of life series. In actuality, the series is a surreal comedy featuring the girls being moronic jerks to each other and everyone else. The ending theme, "Inkya Impulse", which is a heavy metal song featuring surreal neon scribbles of the girls while Hanako screams about popular girls, is more in line with the series true tone.

* SchoolgirlSeries: A rather absurd {{parody}} of this genre. While the three girls are certainly cute, this series is definitely not a typical "cute girls doing cute things" story, as all three of them are moronic jerks who frequently do and say things that are decidedly ''not'' cute. It seems to set out to prove that contrary to what most anime of the genre will tell you, middle school girls can be just as weird and gross as middle school boys.

* EnergyWeapon: Maeda can fire these from his butt thanks to aliens hiding a secret weapon in his rectum.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: This is practically ''Mundane Made Awesome: The Manga/Anime''. Everything is dialed UpToEleven, no matter how mundane they really should be. Typical conversations frequently spiral out of control into utter gibberish, and games are overly dramatic compared to what they really ought to be, with lots of screaming, yelling, flailing about, and {{Nightmare Face}}s courtesy of mainly Hanako. The background music makes all of the above seem like the most epic action anime ever.

* RealityEnsues:
** The Student Council President rejects the Pastimers Club's bid to be a club, with its 10,000 yen in club funds, because they only have three people and because "having fun" is something that they can do at home. They manage to at least qualify as a circle by ensnaring Chisato into their club.
** When the Pastimers Club decide to have a match against the Soft Tennis Club, Kasumi tries to win by [[AwesomenessByAnalysis calculating the trajectory of the ball as it comes to her]]. She prepares to swing and winds up tripping over herself, because she's not physically fit enough to actually keep up with it.

* NondescriptClub: The Pastimers Club has a very vague goal of "having fun". RealityEnsues when the Student Council President rejects the girls' bid to get approved as a club, since they only have three members and "having fun" is something they could easily do at home. Additionally, in more technical terms, they wouldn't be considered a "club", but rather an association.

* TheNoseless: Played for laughs. While the manga and anime's standard character designs have noses, these are usually gone during comedic scenes. Not that Rin Suzukawa usually draws his characters with clearly visible noses, anyhow. The main trio are especially liable to have this happen to them, most notably Hanako, thus leading to them having completely smooth faces when viewed from the side, though this is more observable in the anime due to the manga's art style.

* CheatersNeverProsper: In Chapter 66, the Pastimers Club's class is in danger of having to take English remedial exams during summer break unless they raise their average come the semestral exams. After some prodding from Olivia, Hanako devises a scheme where she will feign suffering from a bad stomach in the middle of the exams, allowing Olivia to take Hanako's paper and replace her name with hers. Unfortunately, all of Hanako's hard work was ultimately AllForNothing after their classmates borrowed the paper, still under the impression that Olivia is fluent in english, and once it is discovered that all the girls have the same wrong answers, the entire class--including Hanako--are eventually punished with summer school.

* PrecisionFStrike: Maeda made an android based on Olivia to represent her in an English speaking competition. However, its programmed vocabulary is mostly comprised of the dirty slang that Hanako's grandfather speaks. This [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar gets past the radar]] in the anime due to the misaligned timings of the censor bleeps.[[note]]e.g. The bleep the missed its mark on "fuck" and ended up covering the "up" in "Shut the f*ck up!"[[/note]]

** When Hanako presents her poster design for the club's upcoming film, Kasumi suggests she add an announcement for Season 2 of the anime. Hanako promptly shoots it down, outright saying there are no plans for a Season 2.

* TheCaper: Episode 7. Tsugumi ropes in, or should we say ''suckers in'' the Pastimers Club to steal blackmail material from the School Council President office.
