Haganai: Difference between revisions

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: "Did you forget what happened last chapter?"

** A separate example by Rika in Chapter 16 of the manga, which also features some [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] via the narration:

'''Kodaka:''' "''No I didn't!'' Also, stop making up the narration!" }}

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Sena is a subversion -- she's beautiful, smart, a fast learner, athletic and very dedicated; her ego as big as her breasts doesn't make her a good friend. Rika plays it straighter -- she gets away with her eccentricities for being a genius and doesn't mind being alone (the only reason she's even in the Club is to get close to her "savior" Kodaka).

* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: Most of the time.

* [[Cringe Comedy]]: To prove that [[Eroge]] [[It's Not Porn, It's Art|are "art" and not porn]], Yozora makes Sena read out loud the dialogue of an H-Scene Yozora and Kodaka walked in on Sena playing through. [[Filth|It turns out to be somewhat different than the beautiful, lovely consummation of the protagonists' love for each other Sena claimed.]]

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

* [[Crossover]]: [[Seitokai no Ichizon|With]] [http://www.seitokaixrinjinbu.info/ Seitokai No Ichizon].

* [[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:

* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Yozora does this to Rika by revealing Yukimura's gender.

* [[Dropping the Bombshell]]: Maria in the [[Audio Adaptation|Drama CD]], while keeping a perfect [[Cheerful Child]] demeanor:

'''Maria:''' "At one of the schools I used to go to, I was once told '[[Wham! Line|It's creepy how a kid like you always wears a fake, shallow smile]]' by one of my classmates!"<br />

'''Kodaka:''' "O-Oh, is that right?"<br />

* [[First-Name Basis]]: Kodaka towards Sena and Yozora. Sena and Yozora, [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis|not so much]].

* [[Foot Focus]]: [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] by Sena's "rewards".

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Yozora doesn't like to be lumped together with bullies and thinks nicknames are for friends. {{spoiler|As a kid, she befriended Kodaka after she saved him from, and then joined him in fighting, a bunch of bullies.}}

* [[Forgotten Childhood Friend]]: {{spoiler|Yozora is implied -- and ultimately confirmed -- to be [[One of the Boys|the "boy"]] who once saved Kodaka from, and ultimately joined him in fighting, a bunch of bullies when they were kids.}}

* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: The premise -- but thanks to Kodaka, Yozora, Sena, Yukimura, Kobato, Maria and Rika's unusual traits, the only friends they can find are [[Lonely Together|each other]].

* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Every episode uses the characters for the series' shorthand name, "Haganai" (はがない), throughout the title, followed by a popular ShiftJIS [[Emoticon]] used in Japanese [[Message Board|Message Boards]], in episode order:

'''07:''' My Cell Phone Has Few Calls -- 携帯電話は着信が少ない<ref>Keitai Denwa wa Chakushin ga Sukunai</ref> _|￣|○<br />

'''08:''' No School Swimsuits This Time -- スクール水着は出番がない<ref>Sukūru Mizugi wa Deban ga Nai</ref> \(^o^)/<br />

* [[Lonely Together]]: The Neighbor's Club's raison d'etre.

* [[Loveable Sex Maniac]]: Rika.

* [[Male Gaze]]: The anime has one too many, including the opening.

* [[Manipulative Bastard|Manipulative Bitch]]: Yozora slapped Maria twice, then gave her passages from [[The Bible]] that doesn't even exist to coerce her into lending her sleeping room to the Neighbors Club.

* [[So Bad It's Good]]: [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] [[In-Universe]] in the third [[Light Novel]] with Rika describing "St. Joe's Academy Tale" as this word for word, being a lighthearted galge notorious for plunging straight into outright nightmarish [[Downer Ending|Downer Endings]] where [[Kill'Em All|both the hero and ALL his potential love interests die in the most horrifying ways]] should the player [[Unwinnable by Design|mess up with even a single flag]].

* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: Rika in the fourth novel.

* [[Split-Screen Reaction]]

* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]: Yukimura gets this reaction from every other male.

* [[The Tease]]: Rika can't talk without slipping a [[Double Entendre]] or saying something outright naughty.

* [[There Are Two Kinds of People in the World]]: Sena in chapter 16.

* [[Third Person Person]]: Rika

* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: Maria finds Kodaka's jokes hilarious.
