'''''Omocha de Asobu!''''' ({{wpl|Japanese language|Miranian}}: 玩具で遊ぶ, "Fun with Toys!") is a [[Culture of Gylias#Comics|Gylimanga]] series. Created by [[Chihiro Munakata]], it was first published on [[Telecomix]] in 2017, and later collected in ''{{wpl|tankōbon}}'' volumes and translated into {{wpl|English language|English}} and {{wpl|French language|French}}.

The series updates sporadically.

==Plot==
The series follows the adventures of an unnamed female character, who is slightly bashful but eager to experiment with her sexuality. It mainly shows her testing out various {{wpl|sex toy}}s and reviewing them for her [[Internet in Gylias|website]].

==Background==
[[Chihiro Munakata]] had achieved popularity as a result of his series ''[[Kenkyūsha Ayako to joshu Himeko]]'', ''[[Joseitenin Maki Suzue]]'', and ''[[Bijin onna jōshi Takizawa-san]]'', and by the 2010s found himself in demand as an artist, particularly accepting commissions from [[Clothing in Gylias|clothing]] companies and [[Advertising in Gylias|advertising]] for [[Prostitution in Gylias|sex work]] services and {{wpl|sex shop}}s.

For the latter commissions, he came up with a concept to avoid [[Gylian administrative agencies#Ministry of Regulation|Office for Public Protection Against Advertising]] regulations against "memorable" advertising: he created a fictional female character he could use as a "reviewer" for the products. This enabled the strips to be considered informative rather than advertising.

Chihiro found himself enjoying the character-driven comedy he introduced into the "reviews", and began collecting them into a manga series, later expanding on their characterisation.

==Reception==
Initially published on [[Telecomix]], ''Omocha de Asobu!'' gained a positive reception. Reviewers praised the series' characterisation, easygoing comedy, and graceful handling of sexuality. ''[[Radix]]'' highlighted the sympathetic portrayal of the main character, whose balance of bashfulness and interest in new experiences made her a relatable "everywoman" character, and praised her appearance in Chihiro's typically elegant [[Clothing in Gylias|outfits]].

It was later collected in ''{{wpl|tankōbon}}'' volumes as Chihiro gathered new chapters, and translated into {{wpl|English language|English}} and {{wpl|French language|French}}.
