Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kodaka Hasegawa is a second-year transferee to a Catholic school, St. Chronica Academy, and as always, he finds it nigh-impossible to make friends due to his natural blonde hair (inherited from his late English mother) which makes him pass for a delinquent. One day, he runs into the equally solitary and very abrasive Yozora Mikazuki while she's speaking to her Imaginary Friend, "Tomo-chan".note This is the Japanese equivalent of calling your imaginary friend "Friendy". They decide that the best way to improve their social situation is to found a club — the Neighbors Club — to help them make friends and learn social skills.Joining them are five others — arrogant school idol Sena Kashiwazaki, daughter of the school chairman, whose popularity with boys naturally earn other girls' ire; Yukimura Kusunoki, an extremely effeminate freshman who joins in the hopes that Kodaka teaches him how to be more manly; Rika Shiguma, a genius (and perverted) freshman; Kobato Hasegawa, Kodaka's younger sister and a second year middle-schooler with an obsession for goth culture and vampires; and Maria Takayama, a 10-year-old nun and teacher, who also serves as club advisor.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })One can only hope that these seven social losers can get their act together before the club implodes from their nigh-irreconcilable eccentricities.Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai ("I Don't Have Many Friends") — also known by its canonical portmanteau name "Haganai" — is a light novel series written by Yomi Hirasaka and illustrated by Buriki (of Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl fame), which was published from 2009 to 2015. It has a manga adaptation written by Hirasaka and illustrated by Itachi which ran in Monthly Comic Alive from 2010 to 2021, and an anime adaptation by AIC which aired as part of the Fall 2011 Anime lineup with a second season announced. The first season has been picked up for North American home video release by Funimation. The second season (called Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT) aired in the Winter 2013 Anime season and was simulcast by Funimation.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The series also inspired four spinoff mangas: Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Plus, a retelling of the story where Sena is the first girl Kodaka runs into and is a co-founder of the Club with Kate; Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Anthology, a series of one-shot stories revolving around the club; Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Shobon! (released in North America with the subtitle Now With 50% More Fail!), a series of one-shots revolving around each club member and his/her relation to the Club; and Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai: Haganai Biyori (released in North America under the subtitle Club Minutes), a series focusing on the club's activities. Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the main manga and has released the 50% More Fail and Club Minutes spinoffs in North America.A live-action movie adaptation premiered in theaters on February 1, 2014.

Heroic BSoD: Yozora suffers from one in Episode 9 of Season 2 when she hears about Kodaka and Sena being both Childhood Friends as well as being in an Arranged Marriage, despite both of them denying the latter. Kodaka suffers one when Rika calls him out on deliberately not noticing that all the girls are in love with him. He suffers an even bigger one when Sena openly confesses her attraction to him.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: The scene where Yozora puts lotion on Sena's back. It Makes Sense in Context. Rika's passionate reading of a Super Robot battle in a manga she was carrying around at the time in Episode 4. The Dragon Gobie Soldiers in the virtual reality game.

 Haganai / int_15177ded
comment
The Runaway: Maria does this in Episode 3 of Season 2. Kodaka is understandably confused at first when she shows up, but when he asks her how she knew where he lived, Maria says the "old hag" (her sister, Kate) showed her where she lived. Kate constantly calls to check up on her, and after spending the night Maria goes back, largely because Kobato telling her running away the night before was childish.

Tempting Fate
 Haganai / int_15b2cab3
comment
Tempting Fate: In Episode 8, while playing one of her gal games, the scene is at the pool. Yozora mentions hating such a place, and that had she of developed the game, she would put a shark in that scene. Sena brushes her comment off, and in the very next scene after she makes a selection, a shark shows up at the pool. Sena then feels its there for the hero to take down, only to have her get eaten by the shark, and a bad end in the game. Rika mentions that this is the game she heard where you can get a bad end if you don't get the right event flags triggered. Meanwhile an angry Sena snaps the disc in half. In Episode 11 of season 2, after watching Sena and Yozora both team up against Aoi's attempts to disband the Neighbor's Club, he thinks to himself that those two working together is a force to be reckoned with. Shortly afterwards however, Sena then gives him a nonchalant Love Confession, which causes him to run away from the clubroom and subsequently avoid it for the next week, which causes Yozora to leave a text saying she was going to travel around for a while.

Relationship Upgrade
 Haganai / int_161f1ebf
comment
Kodaka in season 2 seems to want this trope enforced regarding the Neighbor's Club. More specifically, he's starting to realize that several of the girls, if not all of them like him, and want a Relationship Upgrade with him. He acts Oblivious to Love largely because he suspects if he starts to date one of them, it would change the dynamics of how everyone acts in the club with each other, namely that whichever girl he picks would likely get ostracized by the other girls, and they probably wouldn't want to spend time with him or each other the way they do now. However, Rika gets increasingly flustered by his attitude towards them, and even attempts to point it out to him several times.

Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: Maria displays some in Episode 4 of Season 2 when she hears that the ticket Sena got for the theme park was only good for six adults. Since she was the seventh person, and a child, she just mumbles unhappily, causing Sena to feel sorry for her and buy a child's ticket for her so she could go. Maria immediately perks up again after this.

Humanizing Tears
 Haganai / int_176d8028
comment
Humanizing Tears: Frequently pulled off by the otherwise haughty Sena every time her confident aura gets shattered in the most spectacular ways (usually courtesy of Yozora's meddling). Kobato, every time her "vampire-girl" facade breaks (such as running naked to Kodaka because her bathwater has gone cold, and realizing that the air-conditioner was broken). At the end of the third Light Novel and Episode 11, Yozora◊ herself, after she comes to school fresh from summer break with her hair cut short, and Kodaka finally realizing that she used to be "Sora", his Forgotten Childhood Friend. Yozora does it again in Episode 8 of Season 2, although under very different circumstances. This time she gets angry at Sena for insulting her childhood past with Kodaka, and she ends up getting a taste of what she usually made Sena do, run out of the room crying.

Frothy Mugs of Water: In the light novel series, Pegasus offers Kodaka wine when he visits for the night, and Kodaka proceeds to drink him under the table. In the TV series, Kodaka is given non-alcoholic grape juice instead... or at least that is what Pegasus claims, because it's still clearly wine and Kodaka still gets (a little) drunk from it.

Unreliable Narrator
 Haganai / int_1869b4b1
comment
Unreliable Narrator: Kodaka in the books, in light of something we eventually find out (see Status Quo Is God). He's not REALLY Oblivious to Love, but he narrates for us as if he were: a girl will "seem upset for some reason" instead of being jealous, for instance. It's rather unsettling to realize we weren't privy to his real thoughts at all.

Only Six Faces
 Haganai / int_18a84025
comment
Only Six Faces: Quite apparent in the anime - the difference between the girls mostly consists of the variety of their expressions. Yozora and Sena, for example, have practically the same face, but Sena pouts much more, and Yozora sneers a lot. Quite apparent in the first episode of the second season, where Yozora wears a wig that looks like Sena's hair. In Episode 8 of Season 2, Kobato is in the room with them while they're discussing the movie they plan to shoot. However, Sena immediately discovers something wrong, and it turns out Kobato is actually Rika dressed up as Kodaka's sister. Other than the voice and a few flaws in the outfit, she looks almost exactly like Kobato.

Bishōnen: Unusually for a harem protagonist, Kodaka definitely fits, what with his good looks and blonde hair. The series also gives a realistic take on his hair, giving him a natural dirty blond/brown hair pattern rather than the straight-up bleached look that delinquents go for. Not that most of his schoolmates can tell the difference.

Transferring cell phone addresses. Kodaka and Yozora were so thrilled at having their first contacts outside home (though the manual way, both being not so tech-savvy) Rika, who easily shared hers with Yukimura through infrared, admits she feels as though she's "behind the times". This does not sit well with Sena who, for such a rich kid, does not have a cell phone. Especially when Yozora promptly calls Kodaka (while both are in the same room) and has a conversation with "meat" as the only non-mumbled term.

Only Sane Man: Kodaka stands as the Neighbor Club's sole voice of reason.

He actually has a problem with getting close to people, and tends to push them away or act oblivious when they get too close to him.

Elephant in the Living Room
 Haganai / int_26fa627a
comment
Elephant in the Living Room: It's obvious that by the time the group is fully assembled that they're all friends, but all events and activities are phrased with things like 'This will be useful practice for when we all have friends.' Kodaka is in fact avoiding admitting that he knows they're all friends already. Rika is the only one who has obviously noticed as well and knows that Kodaka is avoiding the subjects. Admitting that would change things up, something he's not comfortable with. Kodaka is perfectly aware of the feelings the girls have towards him and is deliberately ignoring it. All those times he goes "What was that? Couldn't hear you." He did, in fact, hear them but chose to pretend because he is afraid of change. Rika figures this out fairly quickly and calls him out on it in the second season/volume 7, and warns him that even if she doesn't do anything about his charade, eventually one of the other girls is going to get tired of it and confront him directly with it and he needs to be prepared. His response? "——Eh? What'd you say?" That's what I told her, playing dumb once again. However, what I'd said was not a question, it was my answer." and then he walks away. When Sena finally confesses to him he ends up running away because he isn't ready and she refuses to let him play dumb this time.

Walking the Earth
 Haganai / int_29292e6d
comment
Walking the Earth: At the end of the anime Yozora tells the entire group that "I'm going on a journey. Please don't look for me." And the last real scenes are her walking with a bag and looking at a picture of the Neighbor's Club. Although the blink-and-you'll-miss-it expression on her face and she looks back at the very end may imply she isn't going after all. The novels then subvert it — she gets Kobato (who apparently looks up to Yozora) to help her hide out at the Hasegawa residence, where Kodaka finds her a day or so later.

Bros Before Hoes: While Kodaka wants to spend time with the Neighbors Club on Christmas Eve, Yukimura gives him an ultimatum: they can fool around and do couple things that night since it is Christmas (a day notorious for hookups in Japan), or she'll let him go to the get-together on the condition that they break up. Kodaka eventually chooses the club, but when he gets there finds that Yukimura was planning on going anyway.

Parental Abandonment: Kodaka and Kobato's English mother Airi is dead, and their father Hayato works in America, leaving Kodaka to take care of Kobato all by himself. Sena's father Tenma gives a Take That! to this trope in the anime, calling Hayato trash for doing it. Kodaka is none too pleased.

Hero with Bad Publicity
 Haganai / int_313e9485
comment
Hero with Bad Publicity: Kodaka fits this trope fairly well. He makes a very poor first impression in class due to being late and out of breath, and his Face of a Thug only seems to reinforce the other students that he's up to no good. Even when he innocently asks for stuff, rumors spread that he forcefully took it from them. In one episode he even laments that his reputation is now even worse after joining the Neighbors Club. Sena arguably fits this trope to a lesser extent. She joined the club because despite being pretty, smart, and somewhat athletic, she doesn't have any female friends, and the boys who followed her around only further spread rumors amongst the girls at school to ostracize her some more. Hanging out with Kodaka only made it worse for her, as now everyone assumed they were going out due to how much time they spend together, although Sena probably wouldn't mind that rumor being true.

Shipper on Deck: Sena's father seems okay with Kodaka being with Sena. Of course, having Sena mention his name to her father constantly, Tenma seeing how happy Sena looks when he visits their house in Episode 9, Kodaka being the son of one of his friends, and being a genuinely Nice Guy helps. Stella, Sena's maid, does this to him as well. In Episode 1 of Season 2, she hands him somethingnote a condom, and Sena seems a bit too eager to find out what she gave him, going so far as to attempt prying it out of his hand. There's Stella humming "Here Comes the Bride" while going back inside the house after Kodaka leaves.

Double Standard: Rape, Female on Female: It's probably not as bad as it looks, but there's something to be said about Sena enthusiastically offering to bath Kobato, only to be followed, scenes later, by Kobato running screaming out of the room naked, chased by an equally naked Sena. Kobato is still sincerely freaked by it the following day, though in this case the trope may be subverted in that Kobato has a habit of overreacting and misinterpreting people's actions, and that Kodaka was pretty annoyed with Sena for a bit.

After that, Kobata and Maria have him take them there. When Kodaka goes to use the bathroom himself, he finds Yozora and she says she'll go with him. He asks if she's also nervous, and though she denies it at first, she admits that she scared herself with her own spooky story she had told earlier.

Broken Ace: Sena. She is wealthy, comes from a powerful, respected family, beautiful, fawned over by all the boys and makes all the girls jealous, extremely gifted in both athletics and other areas (Rika at one point wonders how Sena is able to run so fast without her breasts slowing her down), ridiculously intelligent (she is able to memorize exam questions and their answers in seconds), and has a loving, if quirky, family. However, despite all this, she finds herself unable to make friends, and is constantly shallow, arrogant, and cruel even when she attempts to make some by joining the Neighbors Club.

She asked this because of Rika's time machine which turned out to be a dream machine that lets the user dream about any scenario they wish, and he imagined going back to the last time he met Sora. Kodaka probably blurted her name out while he was using the machine. Sena telling Yozora that her Childhood Friend past with Kodaka doesn't matter anymore in Episode 8 of Season 2. She hits Yozora's Berserk Button pretty hard with that line. Maria says one in Episode 9 of Season 2 when she innocently talks about Kodaka and Sena getting married. Sena delivers a whopper in Episode 11 of season 2 when she nonchalantly tells Kodaka that they should get married anyway, because even disregarding their father's Arranged Marriage they set up, she loves him. It shocks everyone in the room, Kodaka most of all. A lighter one compared to the others, but Maria gets one when, while taking a bath with Yukimura and Kodaka, asks Kodaka why he has a penis and Yukimura doesn't.

Wise Beyond Their Years
 Haganai / int_4f773434
comment
Wise Beyond Their Years: Averted by Maria, who's only educated beyond her years. She knows the contents of a high school textbook and is a teacher, but in every other respect she looks, acts, and is as intelligent as the 10-year-old child she is. Turns out her education completely and totally skipped sex-ed, as she apparently doesn't even know what a penis is until Rika note  who apparently got her own sex education from yaoi doujinshis and actually believes that men have something called a "yaoi hole" explains how sex works to her. Plausible, given her education by what's apparently a fairly strict and uptight sect of Christianity/Catholicism (or the Japanese version of it anyway). In one of the episode previews, she starts talking about how she knows about a lot of adult things like sex. She is interrupted by Kobato, but she finishes talking about sex anyways - according to her, it's when you get into a bed with a guy you like and...count the stains on the ceiling.

Playing a Tree: Kodaka is forced to play a tree in the Neighbors Club's production of Momotaro. This is after Yozora cut out a bunch of parts to accommodate the club's small size. Somehow she overshot the mark by one, so she added a tree back in.

Crazy-Prepared: When Kodaka and Kobato visit Sena at her house to greet her father, they arrive fairly late, as the sun appears to be setting. During dinner, Sena's father insists that they stay over. Kodaka learns that buses in the area stop running after 8 PM (cue him looking at the clock striking 8 PM). Stella mentions she could drive them home, but that it's a big hassle, and when Kodaka mentions not bringing pajamas, Sena's father says he has clothing they can borrow, and a guest room to sleep in. Kobato nodding off finally convinces Kodaka that maybe they should spend the night.

What Measure Is a Mook?
 Haganai / int_52b36340
comment
What Measure Is a Mook?: The basic enemies the club encounters in Episode 5's MMORPG are derived from a fish species that Kodaka mentions is quite tasty. He wonders if they truly have to kill these things, and that its not like they asked to be born/created this way. The girls hesitate momentarily, then they go all out and attack the creatures. Yozora says that she understands what he was trying to say, and that they'll live on in them, in the form of experience points. Made more hilarious by the fact that the creatures haven't been programmed with attacks yet, so they all get mercilessly slaughtered by the party, much to Kodaka's lament.

Kodaka later comments that having those two girls ensured the club would be safe from further attempts to shut it down.

I'm Taking Her Home with Me!: Sena acts this way towards Kobato. She sort of gets to do it too in Episode 9, when both Kodaka and Kobato visit her house to pay their respects to her father who, as the head of their school, helped them to transfer in quickly. Sena tries to feed Kobato during dinner, and later takes a bath with her while the girl is waking up from a short nap, which results in Kobato running around the mansion naked while fleeing from Sena (who is also naked).

In Episode 6 of Season 2, Sena serves Kodaka some coffee as they try out being maids for a possible maid cafe at the school festival. She seems too good at it however, and when asked about it, she claims that she learned it from Stella. Yozora gives her a Death Glare and wonders how she learned to be a maid from watching a butler. Sena then claims she doesn't go to maid cafes during the weekends before falling down, then running out of the room.

Griefer: In Episode 2, while playing the Monster Hunter game, Sena charges up one of her attacks, and then "accidentally" hits Yozora's character, knocking her out. Sena claims that it she pushed the wrong button, and Yozora seems to accept that. However, a few moments later Yozora "accidentally" shoots Sena in the back of the head with an arrow (and we're pretty sure the Great Jaggi was just collateral damage from that bomb), and then the next few minutes shows the two girls fighting each other more than the monsters. Both girls do it again to each other in Episode 5's game. Yozora mentions having an ability which can nullify an attack, and tells Sena to attack the boss head on. Sena does it, but gets killed, because Yozora mentions that she never intended to use it on Sena. Sena gets back at her by tickling Yozora in real life, causing her to lose her concentration and also getting killed by the boss as well.

Breaking the Fellowship: Happens in Episode 12 of Season 2. After Sena and Yozora thwart Aoi's attempts to disband the Neighbor's Club, Kodaka mentions that those two working together would be quite a force. However, Sena's Love Confession to him causes a huge disruption in the status quo, and Kodaka bolts from the club room. He also avoids going for the next week, and due to his lack of presence, several other club members also stop going. Yozora then leaves them a text message saying she was going to travel for a bit, and to not look for her.

After Kodaka yells out her name in Episode 5 while using Rika's invention, the club members were curious about any previous relations with Yozora. In the beginning of Episode 6, Yozora doesn't deny it, and states that they did indeed play and hang out with each other when they were kids.

Nuns Are Mikos: As a rule, the Catholic church does not make nuns out of 10- and 15-year old girls. This is a much more common age for Mikos. And Catholic nuns usually don't wear◊ a dangerously short dress. In fact, the author doesn't even pretend they're catholic: the symbol they wear is a key, not a cross. It's very Crystal Dragon Jesus (though that not true for the manga, where it actually is a cross).

Cannot Spit It Out: Yozora cannot muster the courage to tell Kodaka that she is "Sora", his long-lost childhood friend, because she's frustrated that he doesn't recognize her (which is justifiable, because she has already grown her hair long during those ten years they never met), at least until he finally does after seeing her on the first day of classes after summer break with her hair cut short. Later, she reveals to him that she failed to meet up with him on his last day at Tooya City ten years ago because she was too scared to appear to him dressed as a girl. Played straight with Sena towards Kodaka once she develops feelings for him. She finally averts this trope with a Love Confession to him in Episode 11 of Season 2, although she says it nonchalantly while focusing on playing a game, which throws everyone off.

But Not Too Foreign: Kodaka (and his younger sister Kobato) is half-English, giving him a Japanese face and blonde hair, which makes everyone else assume he dyed it and is thus some delinquent.

One Dialogue, Two Conversations
 Haganai / int_71152dd
comment
One Dialogue, Two Conversations: In Episode 2, when playing the Monster Hunter game, Kodaka tells Sena and Yozora that since its a co-op game, they should try playing more cooperatively. Both girls immediately "agree" they should "play more cooperatively" from that point on, and in the next scene they're just fighting each other more than the monsters. In season 2, Sena is given tickets to an amusement park by her father so she could go on a date with Kodaka and move their relationship along. Sena mentions something about making Kobato her younger sister, which to Pegasus meant things were going along fine with Kodaka. However, Sena meant another thing regarding that, having more paedophile tendencies...

Covers Always Lie: In-universe example in Episode 2 of Season 2. Rika brings a movie called "Homo Game Club" into the club room. Yozora takes an immediate dislike to it due to its name, but Rika attempts to convince her to watch it before saying it's bad. Her words immediately click with Kodaka, who suggests they watch it first before judging it based on its appearance and name alone, something he is all too familiar with.

In-Series Nickname
 Haganai / int_7360806f
comment
In-Series Nickname: Sena's "Meat", given by Yozora, on account of her Gag Boobs. She's actually happy with the nickname, because nobody has given her one before. For that matter, the series itself has a canonical portmanteau name: "Haganai" (はがない), derived from "Boku wa Tomodachi ga sukunai" ("wa" is written as "ha" in Japanese). It appears on some Eye Catches tattooed on the girls, and its characters are used in episode titles for the anime. Kodaka and Yozora called each other Taka and Sora respectively. Kodaka was nicknamed "Yankee" due to his hair initially, but in the anime at least, its use gradually decreases over time.

Hate at First Sight
 Haganai / int_74d9d78f
comment
Hate at First Sight: Two examples: Yozora instantly hates Sena the moment she shows up in the first episode. Part of it may have to do with the fact that she could steal Kodaka away which does partly come true when Sena gives him a nonchalant Love Confession later in the series, and a large part is due to Sena being The Ace at sports and academics. Sena, for her part, hates Yozora for constantly mocking her and her interests. Kobato has a very poor first impression of Maria due to the latter being overly friendly towards Kodaka, triggering an episode of Clingy Jealous Girl mode in the former. Unlike Sena and Yozora however, their rivalry slowly and gradually develops into one of Vitriolic Best Friends.

 Haganai / int_762b9223
comment
Played for Laughs in Chapter 4/Episode 2. While playing "Tokimeite Memorial Days", Yozora and Sena agree — for once — to court shy Yukiko Nagata, while they continue to shoot down overtures by Akari Fujibayashi, whom they deem a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing just because she's proactive, with the most cruel options. Kodaka is none too amused. Their choices come back to bite them in the ass when Video Game Cruelty Punishment kicks in and rumors that their protagonist, "Semoponume Kashiwazaki", is a He-Man Woman Hater becomes so widespread — whose spread Yozora and Sena directly attribute to Akari — Yukiko eventually shoots him down. They ultimately get a Downer Ending so depressing Sena breaks down crying, while Yozora storms out of the clubroom threatening to kill Akari.

Big Brother Attraction
 Haganai / int_7702408c
comment
Big Brother Attraction: Kobato adores her brother (not that she says it out loud) and gets jealous when he starts spending a lot of time at the club (although she ultimately joins). She also behaves particularly territorial of her place as his little sister and dislikes when Maria and later Kate start calling him "Onii-chan". On the flip side, Kodaka feels this way towards Maria, more so than his actual sister who he considers an Annoying Younger Sibling. Naturally, his clubmates accuse him of being a paedophile. Sena has something of a Little Sister Attraction towards Kobato, much to the latter's discomfort. She is often hugging or gushing all over Kobato and on several occasions has attempted to take a bath with her.

Episode 9 of Season 2 has two major reveals. First, Sena's dad finds out that Kodaka and Sena aren't actually dating, and Sena and Kodaka finding out that they also were Childhood Friends, and that it predates Kodaka's friendship with Yozora. And to quell any doubts, there was also a picture of the two playing together as youngsters. They try to keep it secret, but Maria accidentally blabs about it.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech
 Haganai / int_7d89315b
comment
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Kodaka gives Sena a somewhat nasty one after he's forced to save Sena twice from some guys hitting on her. At first she's confused as to why he's upset at her, but then gets hit by a Love Epiphany when she realizes this is the first time a boy her age ever talked back to her and showed they were concerned for her well-being, compared to other guys at school who followed her around like a bunch of Yes-Man. Rika gives several of these to Kodaka when the harem story starts to kick into high gear. In Episode 10 of Season 2, she flat out states all the things that she's finding with him frustrating, such as acting like he doesn't want to be alone, yet at the same time rebuffing or ignoring all of their obvious affections towards him. Kodaka, in attempting to maintain Status Quo Is God, wonders if she was talking about Kobato. Rika does it again in Episode 12 of Season 2. She's finally had enough of Kodaka's antics and attacks him with some steel metal ball bearings she controls remotely. She admitted that Sena's Love Confession from Episode 11 understandably caught him off guard, but was angry at what he did next; hanging out with the student council and helping out Aoi Yusa, the girl who tried to take down the Neighbor's Club, as well as hanging out with the student council president and having a naughty misunderstanding or two with her. When he accidentally verifies the last thing, it causes Rika to toss even more ball bearings at him. Yozora tells Sena "If only you didn't exist", in Episode 8 of Season 2. While it has some Yandere tendencies, she really meant that if Sena wasn't in her and Kodaka's life, they'd probably be dating already by that point. After saying it, she runs out of the room crying, and afterward Sena comments that while she may hate Yozora, its not to the extent that she wished for the latter to have never existed.

Almost Kiss
 Haganai / int_7eb49b31
comment
Almost Kiss: During a King's gamenote A game where players draw lots, and whoever gets the "king" card gets to order other players around based on the numbers they drew, such as making two people kiss. In this example, Kodaka also adds a condition of pre-made orders to avoid ridiculous, over-the-top orders such as having one player lick another's toes. they're playing in Episode 3 of Season 2, Sena, who's the king, grabs an order out of the box which appears to be stuck inside. Yozora has a worried look on her face, and when Sena reads it, it says that Number 3 and the King have to kiss. Kodaka turns out to be number 3note Yozora likely wrote that note, and was hoping to get the King card so she could do the kiss with Kodaka, and as they approach each other, Yozora yells at them and splits them apart, saying its indecent. Kodaka then decides to do the Indirect Kiss route by drinking soda from Sena's glass, which the other girls approve.

comment
Tsundere: Yozora and Sena display traits of this in varying degrees. Sometimes the cast will also discuss this trope or accuse a person of being one. At one point they ponder about having a "tsundere omniscient narrator". It didn't make much sense. Pegasus acts tsundere-like towards Kodaka as well. Rika puts this trope into use in Episode 6 of Season 2, combined with kicking him. However, she seems a bit too into it, and may also be venting frustration at Kodaka's Oblivious to Love attitude, which she's commented on in prior episodes.

Dysfunction Junction
 Haganai / int_820ac3c5
comment
Dysfunction Junction: There's a reason the seven members of the Neighbor Club don't have many friends. Kodaka frequently gets mistaken for a delinquent, thanks to his (natural) blonde hair and a bad first impression on his first day in class. Yozora is a natural loner who talks to an "air friend" and is a huge jerkass to boot. Sena is an arrogant child of privilege, hated by girls due to her good looks and popularity with boys (or at least a bunch of doormats). Rika is another natural loner, but also a perverted genius. Yukimura looks way too much like a girl for guys to be comfortable with, and is a little too fascinated with the concept of manliness despite really being a girl. Maria is an immature child genius whose wisdom stems not as much from natural talent as from an advance education. Kobato keeps up a constant role-play as a goth-loli vampire.

Tall Poppy Syndrome
 Haganai / int_83535879
comment
Tall Poppy Syndrome: Yozora prefers to sabotage everyone else rather than put forward any effort regarding Kodaka herself if she ever feels someone is doing or looking better than her. This frequently backfires on her. This syndrome also serves as the basis of her disdain for "popular" people, as she'd rather make death wishes to them rather than improve her own image. Aoi Yusa admits this to Kodoka. She claims that her reasoning for going after Sena and the Neighbor Club was because she has all this talent but would rather waste it playing games. She confesses right after that her true motive was to bring her down a notch since she believes Sena has everything, from intelligence to good looks. Sena herself is a victim of this. Not just Aoi, but the entire school resents her for being The Ace. While part of it is her being Unintentionally Unsympathetic, it's also because of her arrogant and depreciative view of people. In spite of this, she insists that people should try to work themselves up to her level rather than try to bring her down.

Bait-and-Switch: In one of the Connect extra chapters we read about Pegasus taking Kodaka's father on a double date with a pair of blonde girls. This doesn't go quite as planned though, because rather than the busty, confident acquaintance of Pegasus who he'd been set up with, Kodaka's father instead develops an instant and mutual attraction to her shyer, cosplay obsessed friend. The Generation Xerox is supposed to make it quite clear that the girls are Sena and Kobato's mothers respectively, only for it to turn out that the former is actually Stella's, making her Pegaus's biological daughter and Sena's half sister!

Wham Episode: Episode 3 in the first season, when Sena first learns that she can't always talk her way out of every situation, and Kodaka is forced to rescue her twice. Its also the moment where Sena has a Love Epiphany towards him, and where she becomes a rival to Yozora for Kodaka. Episode 11 of Season 1 has Kodaka finally realize that Yozora was his Childhood Friend after she cut her hair short due to the incident at the festival. Episode 4 of Season 2. The club learns that Yukimura really is a girl. Episode 5 of Season 2. The club learns about Kodaka and Yozora being Childhood Friends when he subconsciously calls out her name while using one of Rika's inventions. Episode 9 of Season 2 has two major reveals. First, Sena's dad finds out that Kodaka and Sena aren't actually dating, and Sena and Kodaka finding out that they also were Childhood Friends, and that it predates Kodaka's friendship with Yozora. And to quell any doubts, there was also a picture of the two playing together as youngsters. They try to keep it secret, but Maria accidentally blabs about it. Episode 11 of Season 2 has Sena give Kodaka a Love Confession, and says they should still get married anyway, creating a huge rift in the status quo for the club. So much so that in the next episode, he ends up not going to the clubroom the following week, causing the other members to gradually to go off in various directions.

Die for Our Ship: In-Universe comedic application at the end of Chapter 4/Episode 2. After she and Sena get a Downer Ending on a galge the latter was playing, Yozora storms out the clubroom (while Sena breaks down crying) to find and kill Akari — a video game character — thinking she spread the rumors that their protagonist was a He-Man Woman Hater, causing Yukiko, a girl she and Sena were angling for, to turn him/them down... conveniently forgetting that it was their fault for shooting down Akari's friendly overtures with the most cruel options because they deem her proactive attitude (such as taking the initiative to introduce herself to the protagonist) a sign of being a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing.

Turns out her education completely and totally skipped sex-ed, as she apparently doesn't even know what a penis is until Rika note  who apparently got her own sex education from yaoi doujinshis and actually believes that men have something called a "yaoi hole" explains how sex works to her. Plausible, given her education by what's apparently a fairly strict and uptight sect of Christianity/Catholicism (or the Japanese version of it anyway). In one of the episode previews, she starts talking about how she knows about a lot of adult things like sex. She is interrupted by Kobato, but she finishes talking about sex anyways - according to her, it's when you get into a bed with a guy you like and...count the stains on the ceiling.

Vomit Indiscretion Shot: Poor Kodaka is on the receiving end of a double helping of regurgitated yaminabe ("black hot pot," where the participants each add ingredients to the pot and eat in the dark) from Yozora and Sena in Episode 0. Averted in NEXT: Yozora and Sena ride the Black Dragon eight times in Episode 4, and end up splattering themselves (and Kodaka) with sick; bonus points for the camera cutting to a Nice Boat! parody right after their regurgitated lunches splatter it.

However, it's hard to see unless you pause it. She does it in the ending too, and once again with an outfit in Episode 7. Yozora's outfit in Episode 7 of Season 2, which she then gives to Yukimura.

Not so Above It All: In Episode 6 of Season 2, Rika and Sena take turns wearing Yukimura's maid outfit to test out being maids for a possible maid cafe at the school festival. Afterwards, Yozora is all alone in the room with the maid outfit, and Kodaka seems to have forgotten something in the room. He heads back there, only to find Yozora also trying on the maid outfit, then steps back out while she attempts to explain herself.

Never My Fault
 Haganai / int_973d220f
comment
Never My Fault: In Episode 12, after Kodaka finds out Yozora was Sora, his childhood friend, Yozora blames him for not recognizing her right away. He blames her hair, which is justified since he always saw Sora with short hair and honestly thought Sora was a guy. She then says she was going to show up in a dress for the first time, but didn't have the courage to go to him wearing it (hence why Kodaka ended up waiting all day and never seeing his friend before he moved away). But somehow its still Kodaka's fault for not recognizing Yozora, at least according to her. In Episode 2, when playing the gal game, and getting the Downer Ending, Kodaka tries to warn them early on that constantly being mean to Akari in the game would result in bad rumors going around, but both Yozora and Sena brush the warning off, figuring Akari is at fault for simply being outgoing during their first meeting in the game.

Our Vampires Are Different

Our Vampires Are Different: Reisys V. Felicity Sumeragi (mistakenly known to some as Kobato Hasegawa, Kodaka's younger sister of three years) drinks tomato juice (and resorts only to Pepsi whenever it's unavailable), claims to be thousands of years old (though that doesn't stop her from carrying around a patchwork stuffed rabbit), and believes vampires already had an advanced magical culture while humans were still cavemen. She also claims to have a weakness to cold water — not that it stops her from doing well in swimming class (which presumably involves a lot of cold water), though, claiming she "uses a lot of magic" to adapt. And then there's those moments where her facade completely breaks and she devolves into cute little Kobato, speaking in Kyuushuu dialect and calling Kodaka "An-chan" instead of her usual "my kindred".

Secret-Keeper
 Haganai / int_9f970427

Secret-Keeper: In Episode 6 Sena tells Kodaka that her father is looking forward to meeting him. However, she tells him to keep his reason to see him a secret. Kodaka assumes it's because her father, who's in charge of their school, knew his father, and pulled some strings to get him into the school quickly. Yozora, on the other hand, assumes they're secretly dating and that meeting her father is taking it to the next step in furthering their relationship. Sena seems to enjoy letting her imagine the worst. Kodaka and Sena talk about her father's misconception in Episode 9 of Season 2 that they were getting married. They agree not to tell the other girls about it since it didn't concern them. At least until Maria blurts it out, forcing both of them to come clean.

Homage: About half of Season 2, Episode 5 is used up for an homage of fujoshi culture, mainly the girl-oriented Visual Novels. Let's Play: In-universe, Yozora do a Let's Play for Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 1. The gang gets to Lampshade, Discuss, Converse, and just plain ridicule the tropes appearing in it (and by extension, tropes common to otome games). Hello, [Insert Name Here]: Sena does exactly what an immature player would do: name the character with something that screams 'this guy is a complete sucker'. Especially because Yozora is the one actually playing the game. Purple Prose: Sena loudly chews out the Narmtacular writings in such games. Bromantic Foil: Yozora completely thrashes this kind of overly-familiar character, stating that they are too creepy. Fan Dumb: In-universe, see what Yozora says about Akari? Sena doesn't take it very well. She even equates insulting a 2D character to insulting a real person! Munchkin: Yozora builds a character that maxes out all stats, in a game where you're supposed to have a player character that you're comfortable playing. It backfires because she neglects virtually all flags. Guide Dang It!: Yozora ends up with a character whose Good Ending is difficult to get.

Indirect Kiss: Yukimura apparently can't drink carbonated soda, and nearly passes out after trying to down a whole cup in Episode 3 of Season 2. Kodaka then grabs the glass, and drinks from it to avoid letting it go to waste, and Rika immediately mentions this trope. Kodaka later does it again with Sena's glass to fulfill an order where he had to kiss Sena in a King's game after Yozora stops them from kissing.

Mood Whiplash: Volume 7 on. While the humor is still there, the romantic scenes with Yozora and Sena are more and sooner, the insults between the two are more pathological than humorous, outside characters start appearing, providing a warped reflection of the club members, and "comic relief" characters Rika and Yukimura become "get pissed because Kodaka isn't getting it" characters instead. The show in general can be a somewhat difficult watch simply because its depiction of people who utterly lack social skills or the means to gain them can be surprisingly realistic in between the comedy.

Status Quo Is God
 Haganai / int_a6e8221e
comment
Status Quo Is God: Kodaka in season 2 seems to want this trope enforced regarding the Neighbor's Club. More specifically, he's starting to realize that several of the girls, if not all of them like him, and want a Relationship Upgrade with him. He acts Oblivious to Love largely because he suspects if he starts to date one of them, it would change the dynamics of how everyone acts in the club with each other, namely that whichever girl he picks would likely get ostracized by the other girls, and they probably wouldn't want to spend time with him or each other the way they do now. However, Rika gets increasingly flustered by his attitude towards them, and even attempts to point it out to him several times. The final volume of the series ends with this. Kodaka turns down both Yukimura and, finally, Yozora, because he's not comfortable with the changes that a long-term romantic relationship with anyone would have on the rest of the Neighbor's Club. Indeed, things start at where they began: at a mystery hotpot, with the main difference that rather than an outsider, Yukimura is now considered a "friend".

Development Hell: In-universe example. In Episode 8 of Season 2, Yozora suggests they make a movie, which everyone agrees to. She finishes a decent script, with the roles already set, but some of the other girls don't like that she and Kodaka are the stars and Childhood Friends in it. So Sena suggests they vote on roles, and things get switched around, and Kodaka gets the role of "little sister". Yozora then rewrites the script, and changes Kodaka's role from a support role to having a big role again, to which Sena again objects to. They get into a fight about it as a result. However, Yozora makes some changes again, and this time they deem it acceptable, although Maria comments that she's seen this story before...

Blue with Shock: Happens to Yozora and Rika in Episode 8 while they're riding a crowded bus to the pool. It's not entirely clear if they were this way due to the sheer amount of people, if they were getting carsick, or a little of both. Both girls are still this way even after they arrive at the pool. Kobato's face goes pale when Kodaka innocently asks her if she wants to go with him to Sena's house in Episode 1 of Season 2. She quivers as she declines the offer.

Plagiarism in Fiction: Yozora does this in a rewrite of her screenplay for the club's movie in Episode 9 of Season 2. While Maria mentions at the end of Episode 8 that the story seems familiar, it's not until Episode 9 and after they've already shot some scenes that Kate points out to Kodaka the similarities with an obscure movie. He then checks the movie and finds out their film was a shot-for-shot remake of that obscure film. Yozora is forced to kneel while wearing a sign saying she plagiarized, and the club goes with Sena's script which she wrote as a backup just in case Yozora's script didn't work out.

Loophole Abuse
 Haganai / int_b1dde8fd
comment
Loophole Abuse: When Kobato insists on joining the club, Kodaka says she's still in middle school. Sena immediately points out that there's nothing saying a middle school person couldn't join the club. This comes up again in Episode 11 of Season 2 when Aoi Yusa attempts to use Kobato as a reason the Neighbor's Club isn't a legitimate club. In Episode 7, Kodaka asks Yukimura if its okay to give the lunch he prepared to Maria instead. Yukimura says that he can't serve two masters. So Kodaka says that Maria is like a little sister to him, and technically he wouldn't be serving a different master, to which Yukimura agrees.

Take That!: Kodaka wears a stereotypical otaku virgin outfit with a shirt that has a Bland-Name Product version of the Mayo Chiki! logo on it. During Kobato's turn at writing the relay novel, she turns Kodaka into a vampire. In the dub, he sarcastically tells her, "Ok, please don't tell me I also sparkle in the sunlight." When one very unambiguous confession is made in volume 11, the story temporarily breaks to mock both people who would take pictures of the confession scene and upload it online, but also the people who only look at the isolated scene out of context and sneer at LN quality from it.

 Haganai / int_b5b4b077
comment
Sena herself is a victim of this. Not just Aoi, but the entire school resents her for being The Ace. While part of it is her being Unintentionally Unsympathetic, it's also because of her arrogant and depreciative view of people. In spite of this, she insists that people should try to work themselves up to her level rather than try to bring her down.

Power of Trust: Yozora has a hard time with this trope, because her best friend left her suddenly when they were kids after promising they'd be best friends. Though to be fair, Kodaka did want to tell her, but she never showed up on the last day he was in town. Even when playing a Dating Sim game in Episode 5 of Season 2, when she runs across an overly friendly NPC, she mutters to herself that the NPC is going to betray her. She does seem to slowly warm up to the other characters over time however.

Hypocritical Humor: In Episode 2, both Sena and Yozora think the first girl that shows up in the dating sim game they're playing is actually a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, and immediately pick the most hostile response towards her. Yet they act in the same manner towards other girls at school, and see nothing wrong with it. In Episode 4, Yukimura claims to be the victim of bullying. Yozora starts mentioning things bullies often do, which Kodaka immediately mentions "spoken like a true bully". She then slams the table, and tells him not to lump her in with that group.

Maybe Ever After: Kodaka ultimately rejects all of the girls because he wants to keep his friendships with them, but eventually goes on to date Yukimura. Eventually she breaks up with him too, leaving him single when he heads off to college. Sena was just about the only one left in the running, as she confesses to him late in the game and decides to follow him into university...which is where the series ends.

Precision F-Strike: Rika says the F word right before the roller coaster ride goes down for the first time after climbing a long way. She then releases a rather humorous Cluster F-Bomb during the ride, while the other girls are screaming. Yukimura says the F word as well in Episode 6 of Season 2 after seeing Sena in a maid outfit, and having her complain about it being too tight in the chest area. As she does so in the exact same exceedingly polite monotone she always uses, with the exact same intonation, the result is both surreal and side-burstingly hilarious. In the last episode of NEXT, in the English dub, Kodaka yells 'Fuck you' to Rika after her speech and then proceeds to break her down in less than a minute. It's a very dark scene for such a light-hearted anime.

No Romantic Resolution: Both in the anime and in the overall series. Season 2 doesn't resolve which girl Kodaka ends up with, although it subtly hints at Sena at the end.

Rika puts this trope into use in Episode 6 of Season 2, combined with kicking him. However, she seems a bit too into it, and may also be venting frustration at Kodaka's Oblivious to Love attitude, which she's commented on in prior episodes.

She tells him that the small metal balls she's hurling at him are controlled by the cat ears she's wearing, so he attempts to reach her to take it off. While he manages to do so a few moments later, the balls continue to fly around and smash into him. She then tells him the ears were just toys that react to brainwaves, and showed him a remote that allowed her to control the balls.

Averted in Episode 5's game. After Maria goes to take a nap, her character is standing still, while the party is fighting a tough boss that could use her character's healing abilities. After everyone but Kodaka's and Maria's characters are killed off, she starts moving again, and for a brief moment it seems they could possibly beat the boss themselves, but then she pulls a Leeroy Jenkins and gets herself killed. Then it turns out Maria wasn't actually playing, but rather Kobato, Kodaka's sister, who was wondering why he was spending so much time in his club.

Rika's favorite doujin... which turns out to be graphically explicit mecha-on-mecha H-action.

Insane Troll Logic: In Episode 6, when the club is going to a Karaoke Box to sing and hang out together, Yozora is shocked to find out that each person has to pay to enter. Both she and Sena agree that the establishment must be ripping them off, since according to Yozora, 30 songs sung by one person is the same as 5 songs sung by 6 people each, so they agree to pay for separate rooms themselves. Kodaka, not understanding what they were trying to do, then pays for a single room for himself, Kobato, Yukimura, and Rika, which causes whatever plan Yozora and Sena were doing to backfire. Both girls end up sitting in a room by themselves while the others get to do what they were originally supposed to be doing.

Cloudcuckoolander: Six out of seven members of the Neighbors Club show signs of this in varying degrees of intensity and frequency. This makes the seventh — Kodaka — stick out like a sore thumb in his normalcy, his delinquent image notwithstanding. Taking the cake, however, is Maria, who's clueless even for a ten-year-old kid, such as believing Yozora's "Bible verses" that coerce her into lending her favorite naptime room to the Club (and not learning the truth until it was too late) and swimming naked in the pool upon Yozora's suggestion as "cure" for "vampirism" after Kobato bit her hand (cue punishment from her superior later that day).

Mundane Made Awesome: Transferring cell phone addresses. Kodaka and Yozora were so thrilled at having their first contacts outside home (though the manual way, both being not so tech-savvy) Rika, who easily shared hers with Yukimura through infrared, admits she feels as though she's "behind the times". This does not sit well with Sena who, for such a rich kid, does not have a cell phone. Especially when Yozora promptly calls Kodaka (while both are in the same room) and has a conversation with "meat" as the only non-mumbled term. Pegasus does a rather dramatic run away from Kodaka after the latter clears a misunderstanding with Sena for him in Episode 9 of Season 2. Index vs Kuroneko aka Maria vs Kobato. In the first episode, when Kodaka first meets Yozora, she points and introduces him to her air friend, Tomo-chan. Cue a waft of air blowing on the curtains in a dramatic fashion. Cue Kodaka continuing to look confused at Yozora.

That Came Out Wrong: In Episode 3 of Season 2, Maria shows up at Kodaka's house. She at first tells him she's "Running a gay home", but after his understandably confused reaction, she says she's "running away from home". He too acts shocked at that.

Schmuck Bait: After getting bitten by Kobato, Maria fears she'll turn into a vampire. Yozora tells her if she bathes in the sun naked, she won't turn, which the girl happily does. Then one of the other nuns catches her in the act, and a few scenes later she's being punished by wearing a sign saying she did something indecent, and kneeling in front of the church hall. In Episode 1 of Season 2, Yozora casually mentions having read in a magazine that "heaping" was all the rage with women's hairstyles. Rika then comments on it as well, and they both start talking about how only noble people's hair would suffice. Kodaka instantly imagines this trope, and Sena ends up believing them. They put all sorts of crazy things in her hair and raise it up and decorate it with summer-themed implements note think Marge Simpson meets Carmen Miranda, by Trolls Я Us, then tell her with a straight face how awesome she looks. While Sena has some trouble balancing her new hairstyle, she manages to get home with it, only to get disciplined by her father. Although Rika and Yozora apologize the next day, Sena gets upset at them. Sena again falls for one of Yozora's tricks in Episode 6 of Season 2. While pretending to be a fortune teller, Yozora gives off some things that seem to connect with Sena, and she wholeheartedly agrees. She then tells the latter to do something incredibly embarrassing note To go on the top of the roof of her house, spin around three times while balancing a dish of water on her head naked, then scream "Sexy Beam" loud enough for others to hear.. Afterwards Sena texts Kodaka about doing it and getting punished for it, and Kodaka tells her to ''google the barnum effect.'' Sena comes back the next day incredibly upset at Yozora, but snaps out of it due to Kobato's presence in the club room.

Improbable Age: Maria is a teacher and a nun at ten years old. The eighth novel reveals that she's neither. Her sister brings her to school with her because there's no one at home to take care of her. Maria still qualifies for the trope though, as she is capable of doing real teacher work (like grading exams and stuff) and that's the reason why she ended up thinking that she was a teacher in the first place. The child-sized nun's habit? Kate thought it was cute. Kate, Maria's older sister, who is the above at fifteen.

Balanced Harem: Yozora is the first girl Kodaka interacted with and is his fellow co-founder of the Neighbors Club, as well as his Forgotten Childhood Friend with whom he's reconnecting; Sena displays the most romantic interest in him and later becomes his fiancee; Yukimura has the most physical chemistry with Kodaka, much to his confusion and horror. Any affection from Rika is ambiguous, owing to her overly sexual antics and Kodaka's disdain for them. On the non-romantic side, Kobato and Maria engage in childish squabbles over Kodaka's brotherly attention.

Vitriolic Best Buds
 Haganai / int_d7fc9fd0
comment
Vitriolic Best Buds: Yozora and Sena are implied to be an extreme type, sprinkled with a little bit of "With Friends Like These...". Yozora says that nicknames are only reserved for friends, even if it's an Embarrassing Nickname such as Sena's "Meat". On Sena's side, she confides to Kodaka that she is secretly happy with that nickname, because that was the first one she received. Volume 4 of the light novel makes the subtext all the more obvious when Sena reveals that she has five pictures of Yozora, and comments that the latter, post-haircut, looks stupidly handsome on a male school uniform. And come Volume 10 they finally come out into the open and accepted each other as best friends. Kobato and Maria gradually develop into this. Despite the bickering they do, they do seem to enjoy each other's company. In NEXT Episode 10, Maria seemed quite upset when one of Kobato's classmates mentioned how, despite her seemingly cold attitude towards them, Kobato is actually pretty popular. However, in the next scene, when Kobato arrives in the club room, Maria is quite happy to see her, and both of them seem to enjoy playfully mocking each other.

Unusual Euphemism: "Universe!!!" (uttered twice, once by Rika while climaxing while reading aloud her EVA x Gundam ero-doujin, and then by Sena running out of her house crying after being seen naked by Kodaka). Probably doubles as a Shout-Out to ∀ Gundam.

Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: In Episode 11 of Season 2, when Aoi Yusa attempts to disband the Neighbor's Club, mostly because her rival Sena is in it, she attempts to use a technicality as a rule, by stating that Maria isn't actually a teacher, which Kate nonchalantly confirms. Sena then makes a phone call to her father, the Chairman of their school, and gets approval for Maria to be a part time teacher. When Aoi attempts to call Sena out on this trope, the latter simply threatens to ruin the former's reputation along with getting her expelled if she attempts to pursue the matter any further.

Did I Just Say That Out Loud?: In Episode 2 of Season 2, Kodaka runs into a Rika in the club room without her glasses on. She tells him her vision is perfect, and the glasses are actually fake. She then asks him what he thinks of her, and he has a brief Imagine Spot where he says she's like a wildflower blooming on a hill. Rika's face then turns red, and he earns himself some slight scorn from Yozora, Sena, and Yukimura. Kodaka pulls this off in Episode 7 when he comments that regular clothing would look good on her, as opposed to her school uniform which she seemed to wear all the time. Once again, none of the other girls are too pleased about hearing that.

All Girls Want Bad Boys
 Haganai / int_db2f3581
comment
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Not that he realizes it, but Kodaka at the very least has this going for him. Yukimura goes without saying, putting his gender aside. Surprisingly, Yozora is also quite susceptible; while playing an otome game, she gets bored to tears by all the nice pretty boys until she comes across a delinquent character — who looks like Kodaka, no less. Further reinforced in that chapter by the rest of the girls also agreeing with Yozora that the 'delinquent' in the otome game is more to their tastes, promptly shooting down Kodaka's reservations about dating that character.

Ambiguously Gay: If it wasn't for Sena's implied attraction to Kodaka, Sena's homosexuality may not even count as ambiguous. She joins the Neighbour's Club in an attempt to make female friends, referring to the guys who have previously ogled and worshipped her as servants. She enjoys playing galge games which are centred around befriending AND dating attractive girls, she keeps photos of Yozora on her bedroom ceiling (which she gazes at whilst sniffing the wig she wore with her hand between her legs, and despite apparently hating Yozora, she has complimented her physical appearance (mainly her hair) on more than one occasion. And let's not even get started on her obsession with Kobato. Surely even Rika would be telling her to tone it down...

Expy: Much of the cast has equivalents from Ladies Versus Butlers!, that began much earlier: Kodaka is the faux delinquent like Akiharu Hino. Yozora is the scheming Manipulative Bitch Childhood Friend, i.e. Tomomi. Sena is the blonde Rich Bitch with Gag Boobs and an ego even bigger than that, in other words Sernia. Stella is what happens when Sernia's headmaid and Ayse's personal maid are fused, when one was focused more on the "you should have sex already" part and the other more focused on the Deadpan Snarker jerkass part. Yukimura is the cross-dressing girl pretending to be a boy and looks fabulous in a Meido uniform. Just like Kaoru. If Rika was male and a bit dumber, she would be a perfect fit for Shingo. Still brings most of the Comic Relief and pervert-comedy antics in. Maria and Kobato are like Mimina and Pina, unwilling, untrusting, loud and Cosplay Otaku Girl respectively. The latter is the younger sister of the main character here. Kobato shares the same name as an angelic healer of hearts, and is pretty much Kuroneko with the same short stature, tone of voice, and elegant high-class lady attitude but with blond hair, different colored eyes and twintails. As a bonus, all three share the same voice actress. Maria sounds and looks like a purple-haired Index on a navy blue habit, complete with sharing the same voice actress.

Suspiciously Specific Denial: After Maria runs away to Kodaka's house in Episode 3 of Season 2, her older sister Kate calls his house almost every hour. At one point Kodaka asks if she's worried about Maria, and Kate angrily denies it while hanging up. Then she calls him a few more times to check up on Maria. In Episode 6 of Season 2, Sena serves Kodaka some coffee as they try out being maids for a possible maid cafe at the school festival. She seems too good at it however, and when asked about it, she claims that she learned it from Stella. Yozora gives her a Death Glare and wonders how she learned to be a maid from watching a butler. Sena then claims she doesn't go to maid cafes during the weekends before falling down, then running out of the room.

The Load: Played straight with Kodaka during the gaming sessions in Episodes 2 and 5. To be fair, he's still relatively new to the game (as opposed to Sena and Yozora, who both are familiar with it), and in the case of Episode 5, he was playing a game where his character didn't even have any abilities, compared to the girls, who all had some kind of role or abilities for the group. Averted in real life situations, where he actually does do things and is essentially the linchpin to keeping the group together during said sessions.

Big Damn Heroes: When Kodaka rescued Sena from a group of thugs... then chews her out for provoking them after he saves her. Averted in Episode 5's game. After Maria goes to take a nap, her character is standing still, while the party is fighting a tough boss that could use her character's healing abilities. After everyone but Kodaka's and Maria's characters are killed off, she starts moving again, and for a brief moment it seems they could possibly beat the boss themselves, but then she pulls a Leeroy Jenkins and gets herself killed. Then it turns out Maria wasn't actually playing, but rather Kobato, Kodaka's sister, who was wondering why he was spending so much time in his club.

Moment Killer: Near the end of Episode 2 of Season 2, Yozora attempts to get closer to Kodaka by initiating some small talk with him by talking about their test scores. It seems to be going well for her until Sena shows up and starts answering everything, causing Yozora to walk away and start talking to Tomo-chan instead.

Plot-Based Voice Cancellation: For much of the series, Kodaka has trouble remembering his childhood friend's name. A dream sequence has his friend mention his name, but it's inaudible.

Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: With a chapter about the members of the Neighbor's Club studying and practicing traditional comedy techniques so that they can be funny people to hang around, it was inevitable this would appear.

Distracted by the Sexy: Kodaka has trouble focusing on his studies when he's over at Sena's house in Episode 1 of Season 2, due to the fact that she's wearing a tight piece of clothing which makes her chest more apparent.

Product Placement
 Haganai / int_f511ea9b
comment
Product Placement: Whenever they don't use a Bland-Name Product it's fairly obvious as this (or maybe the author just hoping to be sent one for free for his service). While many of the games like "Tokimeite Memorial Days" and so on are blanded, they explicitly play Monster Hunter and use PSPs, and one game they're talking about even gets a little out-of-panel "Out now!" Shout-Out.

 Haganai / int_f6f2ff1

Insult Backfire: Sena tries to humiliate Yozora by having her quote lines from the Homo Game Club movie Rika brought in Episode 2 of Season 2. However, Yozora gladly quotes the random scenes Sena picks, and even the latter is disgusted by all the awesome lines in the movie. Yozora then forces Sena to quote the current scene from her game, and after much goading, Sena does it rather loud and passionately, causing all the club members to be shocked at her Covert Pervert tendencies. Yozora legitimately apologizes to Sena, but the sincerity confuses the latter, and she runs out of the room while insulting Yozora as a homo game lover.

Video Game Cruelty Potential
 Haganai / int_f87c42d4
comment
Video-Game Cruelty Potential: Played for Laughs in Chapter 4/Episode 2. While playing "Tokimeite Memorial Days", Yozora and Sena agree — for once — to court shy Yukiko Nagata, while they continue to shoot down overtures by Akari Fujibayashi, whom they deem a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing just because she's proactive, with the most cruel options. Kodaka is none too amused. Their choices come back to bite them in the ass when Video Game Cruelty Punishment kicks in and rumors that their protagonist, "Semoponume Kashiwazaki", is a He-Man Woman Hater becomes so widespread — whose spread Yozora and Sena directly attribute to Akari — Yukiko eventually shoots him down. They ultimately get a Downer Ending so depressing Sena breaks down crying, while Yozora storms out of the clubroom threatening to kill Akari. While playing Monster Hunter Sena and Yozora spend most of their time griefing each other and ignoring everything else, including their mission and Kodaka.

 Haganai / int_fbd285b7
comment
Comically Missing the Point: In Episode 12, when Yozora playfully "threatens" to eat Kobato, Sena mentions that she wouldn't mind doing it for real and gets a fly swatter to the face it. Everything the Neighbors club members do together is merely a practice run for what to do when they all have "real" friends to do said stuff with, such as going to the beach, a festival, or going out to a karaoke club. It never occurs to any of them that maybe doing it with the club and each other is already a friendship happening, since they seem to enjoy hanging out with each other for the most part.

Foe Romance Subtext
 Haganai / int_fc9b6be5
comment
Foe Romance Subtext: Almost certainly invoked in the first episode of the second season of the anime. It's shown that Sena takes pictures of Yozora and has them posted all over the ceiling of her room, and while going to sleep each night she smells (that is to say, deeply inhales) a wig that Yozora once wore, dreaming of her 'revenge'. Sure thing, Sena. Even Kodaka says she's become a perverted stalker. And on top of all of that, while Sena is smelling the wig the lower part of it and Sena's other hand rest suspiciously between her legs...

Beware the Nice Ones
 Haganai / int_fccd06b6
comment
Beware the Nice Ones: In Episode 5 of Season 2, Yozora tries out an otome game, which Rika describes as a "gal game for girls". It turns out to be a gender reversed game of the one they played back in Episode 2 of the first season, and Yozora tries it out. Sena grabs the controller while she's attempting to put her name in, similarly to Yozora doing it the first time around. Rika then emanates a very dark aura, and speaks in a monotone voice asking Sena why she was attempting to sabotage her attempts to introduce Yozora to otome games. Rika seems so scary that even Kodaka is creeped out by it.

With Friends Like These...
 Haganai / int_fdbd6162
comment
Yozora and Sena are implied to be an extreme type, sprinkled with a little bit of "With Friends Like These...". Yozora says that nicknames are only reserved for friends, even if it's an Embarrassing Nickname such as Sena's "Meat". On Sena's side, she confides to Kodaka that she is secretly happy with that nickname, because that was the first one she received. Volume 4 of the light novel makes the subtext all the more obvious when Sena reveals that she has five pictures of Yozora, and comments that the latter, post-haircut, looks stupidly handsome on a male school uniform. And come Volume 10 they finally come out into the open and accepted each other as best friends.
