Asumi-chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels! (Volume 3) – A Girl’s Gotta Have a Hobby…
What happened?
Ouka noticed Asumi’s financial predicament when she came to school with only balls of onigiri for her lunch and snacks. She had enough for living expenses but it would be a while before she could afford to resume the search for Mai. Nanao came into their room to have lunch with them. She asked Asumi if she made the reservation… Confused as to what Nanao could referring to, Asumi waited for more. That’s when she reminded her of the limited edition Blu-ray boxed set for the Priestess of the Nine Dragons’ tenth anniversary! Not to worry though, Asumi had put that aside ages ago… and then she spent it on cosplay costumes… What was she going to do? She couldn’t order the boxed set or book another appointment!
Luckily, Nanao was hiring. Her maid had recently quit leaving her high and dry. Asumi could do it for as long as she needed. It’s a live-in position so she would save on living expenses too. Was Nanao rich? Asumi went with Nanao to her house and confirmed her suspicions. During the discussion of the role, Asumi jokingly asked if there was a maid costume, although Nanao didn’t seem sure it was a joke. Anyhow, she took the job for one week which would be enough to earn the money for the boxed set. Nanao enjoyed having someone around her house, which belonged to her grandmother.
Of course, Asumi was free to continue at Izumi’s cosplay cafe in the evenings. After a shift where she ironically had to wear a maid costume, Asumi went back to Nanao’s house and planned on having a bath before going to bed. Nanao was still up and also on her way to have a bath. When Nanao opened the door to the bathroom, Asumi instinctively walked in with her… desperate to play it off as normal, she said that she was going to wash Nanao’s back as part of her maid duties. Nanao wasn’t sure about this but figured it would deepen their bond as friends. Well, it did much more than that.
Nanao realised that she liked Asumi. Really liked her! However, she was worried that Asumi had a controlling boyfriend who was taking all her money, so when she went out for the evening, Nanao followed her, hoping to work out how best to help her. Asumi met up with a girl. Nanao was relieved, but she followed them anyway… all the way to a Love Hotel. Nanao went home unsure what to make of it. The next time it happened, she followed Asumi again and she met with a different girl. Could Asumi be a call girl trying to pay off a family debt? Nanao found her way to the lesbian brothel’s website, located the girl she thought might be Asumi, and made a reservation!!!




What did you think?
This just gets better and better. When they introduced Nanao in the last volume, it hinted that she might be a lesbian too, although it was very cagey about it. Now that it’s been confirmed, it makes the fact that they are living together even better, especially as Asumi is now cleaning and cooking for her. She ended up staying on after the initial week so things are only going to get better. I love all the accidental things Asumi is doing because of the number of appointments she’s had. It was even funnier that Nanao was such a loner, she had no idea whether friends washed each other’s backs or not. However, this volume went into overdrive when Nanao started following Asumi and kept coming up with theories as to why she was always running out of money.
It all came to a head when she found the lesbian brothel website and booked an appointment with who she thought might be Asumi. Does that now mean we have Asumi booking appointments in the hope of finding Mai while Nanao is booking appointments and searching for Asumi so she can openly ask her what’s going on? This is brilliantly convoluted and at the same time makes absolute sense. I couldn’t stop laughing as her finger hovered over the submit button. This series is fantastic and the scenes with Asumi and the various call-girls are just incredible. I was worried that things might get a bit repetitive, but so far it’s always been new, interesting, and exciting. I’m going to be along for the ride until the very end of this series. Keep them coming!
