The story follows an ordinary girl who is orphaned after the death of her parents, and the three demon girls who are summoned to protect her.
The first chapter is available to read on the Newtype website.
Kamino launched the Asobi ni iku yo! light novels with art by Houdeneizou in 2003. A manga adaptation by artist 888 ran in Media Factory‘s Monthly Comic Alive magazine in 2006. The series ended in 2015. Digital Manga Publishing published the manga in English under the title Let’s Go Play!.
The light novels inspired a 12-episode television anime series of the same name in 2010, and an OAV in 2011. Yōichi Ueda directed both the TV series and OAV at AIC PLUS+. FUNimation Entertainment licensed and released the television anime in North America under the title Cat Planet Cuties.
