(L) Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru.

That would be complete -delete- instead. If you remember he even greeted her first.

Edit: damn you icebreaker in one momment you completely disagree with me and next you not just steal my own thoughts but also ninja'd me with them!!!

I disagree. Just because he has more positive thoughts doesn't mean he follows through on those desires.

You can't say he didn't want to end their friendship just because he looked away after seeing her in tears, for example. He tried to do just that, no matter how many second thoughts he has on it.

In my interpretation - He wanted her to know that he doesn't want pity, and he will accept any consequences that comes along with it - not that he intentionally wants to end their friendship. What he said, is exactly what he wanted that time. What he did on Volume 7 didn't even involve him talking to her.

I wonder why Hachiman tried to become friends with yukino in the first and sixth volume, which he values being alone and if she had agreed will be that would change him somehow?

Deep in his heart, he wants friends too, he wants love too. At least that's how I'm interpreting it until his "biggest lie" is revealed in the next volume.

[csuree]

Yeah and also about the love issue... as far as I can tell he would be happy with any girl who is kind to him......

just how many times he said:"I almost fell for her" just about all the nice girls in the story.
Yukino, Yui, Ebina....we can even count Shizuka (If no one else will marry her, I will.)

So he does not have a love interest yet.....but that will change.....

I bet he's secretly happy that Yui is showing him affection...

[Tenzen12]

I am not sure about last one (though he find her atractve at least), but otherwise I agree.

HI, Ive loved Oregairu, the LN's for maybe a year now. I first fell in love with the art but to my surprise its actually turning out to be the best highschool story ever told LOL but I'm serious, its definitely one of my favorite series and will undoubtedly support it. The anime adaptation though, WHERES THE BUDGET!? Brains Base seriously disappointed me there. I'm excited for the OVA and extra episode though, hoping (and being extremely hopeful) that it gets a new artistic approach because reading this series always made me visualize something absolutely stunning and symbolic like revolutionary Girl Utena but with today's animation I hope to be friends with you all and I can't wait to discuss!

I really find it hard to believe that Hachiman of all people would say something harsh just to make a point without planning or expecting for the consequences. That would contradict his modus operandi for any of his Service Club solutions so far.

Believe it or not - he's human as well. While normally calm in situations, he was really flustered and depressed when Komachi told him the truth.
I don't think he expected both the girls' reactions in Volume 7 as well.

Brain's Base? They don't decide the budget. They make animes with whatever budget they get.
Most adaptation animes are sponsored by their own publishers. This series' publisher, Shogakukan, just happened to think that it's not worth sponsoring this anime. That's how they ended up with so little budget in the first place.

[NeutralZero]

The hell?
They didn't think Yahari's worth animating...
That's crazy!
Yahari's a great series...

No, not really.. At least spending heavily on it doesn't guarantee return. Shogakukan isn't light novel focused anyway, their focus is Shonen Sunday's mangas.

Actually speaking, the light novel sales isn't half bad. If they did spend on the anime there should be some return. We can hope they do season 2 and do it seriously.

Is that sales after the anime aired? Nice to see Mahouka still up there without anime

Oh wait.. >27/05/2013

If for example, shogakukan really didn't invest anything to the anime, will they still get the money from anime profits?

I think they still get some from selling the copyright but the profits will mostly go to the actual sponsors.

[kazzuya13]

The anime is halfway done.

[iCK]

Can anyone give me a background on Sagamin Minami and how/why she in interested in 8man

[Tenzen12]

She isn't.

[blackwhite67]

@Those who read the novels: How much of a volume would you say is 8man's thoughts and monologues?
