One can only hope that these seven social losers can get their act together before the club implodes from their nigh-irreconcilable eccentricities.
'''''Haganai''''' (はがない), short for '''''Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai''''' (僕は友達が少ない, loosely "''I Don't Have Many Friends''") is a 2009-2015 light novel series written by Yomi Hirasaka and illustrated by Buriki (of ''[[Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko]]'' fame), with an ongoing 2010 manga adaptation illustrated by Itachi and [http://www.animenewsnetwork.cc//news/2011-05-17/boku-wa-tomodachi-ga-sukunai-light-novels-gets-tv-anime an anime adaption by AIC] which aired as part of the [[Fall 2011 Anime]] lineup. Said anime has been picked up for North American [http://www.animenewsnetwork.cc//news/2012-01-28/funimation-licenses-haganai-school-comedy-anime home video release] by [[
The series also inspired three 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; and ''Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Shobon!'', a series of one-shots revolving around each club member and his/her relation to the Club.
Line 77 ⟶ 78:
* [[Die for Our Ship]]: [[In-Universe]] [[Played for Laughs|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... [[Comically Missing the Point|conveniently]] [[Moral Myopia|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]].
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The scene where Yozora puts lotion [["It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It"|on Sena's back]]. [[It Makes Sense in Context]].
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: Sena's father, Tenma, has a seemingly normal name, except it can also mean "Pegasus", and he does not like being called "Pegasus".
* [[Double Entendre]]: '''Every''' line in the ''[[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Ultra Mecha Wars Alpha 2]]'' H-doujin:
{{quote|'''Mecha:''' "Ahh! It's going to break! My DT-field is going to break!"}}
Line 174 ⟶ 175:
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Kodaka stands as the Neighbor Club's sole voice of reason. All his clubmates don't have friends due to their unusual and/or unpleasant personalities—he just has his [[Delinquent Hair|appearance]] [[Face of a Thug|to]] [[Shrouded in Myth|blame]].
* [[Or So I Heard]]: Sena about doujinshi.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Reisys V. Felicity Sumeragi ([[Blatant Lies|mistakenly known to some]] as [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"|Kobato Hasegawa]], Kodaka's younger sister of three years) drinks tomato juice (and resorts only to Pepsi whenever it's unavailable), claims to be [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|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 [[Weaksauce Weakness|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".
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Kodaka and Kobato's English mother Airi is dead, and their father Hayato works in America, leaving Kodaka to [[Promotion to Parent|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. [[Berserk Button|Kodaka is none too pleased.]]
Line 180 ⟶ 181:
* [[Perspective Flip]]: {{spoiler|The first half of Episode 12 shows the events from Kodaka's transfer until the formation of the Neighbors Club from Yozora's perspective, where it is revealed that she instantly recognized him as "Taka", but she [[Cannot Spit It Out]] because Kodaka can't recognize her in return as "Sora".}}
* [[Player Killing]]: Sena and Yozora can't really play nice.
* [[
* [[Potty Emergency]]: The end of Episode 10 has Sena coming to Kodaka and Yukimura's room and asking the former to escort her to the bathroom. He'd eventually do the same for Kobato and Maria, then kicks Rika out when it turns out she just wants to sleep with him. And when he goes out for the bathroom himself, he encounters Yozora at the doorstep.
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: "Bitch" gets said a lot in Episode 2, while Yozora and Sena prejudge a video game character as a [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]].
Line 228 ⟶ 230:
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: [[Averted Trope|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 [[Children Are Innocent|skipped sex-ed]], as she apparently doesn't even know what a penis is until Rika 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 [[Nuns Are Mikos|Japanese version of it anyway]]).
* [[X Meets Y]]: ''[[The Breakfast Club]]'' meets ''[[Love Hina]]'' without the [[
* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]/[[Yuri Fangirl]]: Rika mostly subscribes to the former, but can also swing to the latter, as evidenced by her writing a [[Les Yay]] doujin starring her and Yozora.
▲* [[You Are a Tree Charlie Brown]]: 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.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Yozora
