I am also sure that the writer wants to deliver us a clear message, as he admits that this story is kind of autobiographic for him.
Out of the five members only two are taking the aim of the club very seriously and are mostly focussing on club activities. Those two who have the most things in common will likely end up as a pair at the end. Last edited by mironicus; 2012-05-18 at 05:17. |

I can easily imagine the author meeting in his youth four girls with the personalities/backgrounds of Yozora, Sena, Rika and Yukimura and it easy to imagine them going diffetent ways and ending unhappy or worst. So I think the author will write what he thinks he should have done then or what his personal fantasy where somehow everybody had a happy ending.

I honestly think that anyone advocating that Kodaka makes a stance and choose someone should read the fanfiction A Tangled Web of Romance. While Yukimura's a little OOC, and the fic diverges from the novel probably shortly after where the anime ended, it's a very good illustration and plausible scenario of what happens if Kodaka commits, even at this point of the novel.
Of course, it veers into crazy levels of OOCness after half way through, but the earlier chapters are a very good example of just what Kodaka probably fears if he reciprocate to any of those huge flags the girls are waving infront of him. He can't. The fallout would be severe. And he probably knows that. |

If you know a FanFiction that reflects the characters very well I would be very grateful for a link. |

Still, A Tangled Romance is a good illustration of a plausible scenario, if Kodaka actually reciprocates. I suspect that he knows, in the novels itself, that he is in danger of being at the center of a very nasty love poloygon. |

The point is though, given how dysfunctional these characters are, realistically speaking, a Love Polygon would be likely utterly disastrous for them all. The good LN fanfics are usually concentrated around Haruhi Fanfics- there isn't very many Boku Wa Tomodachi Fanfics out there, and most of them are rather poor IMO. But we are going OT, so if you want some recommendations there, PM me. Maybe there should be a Hagani Fanfiction thread? |

Volume 8 slated to 6/25. No cover nor summary as of now. I'm hoping to see more Yusa Aoi and I'm also hoping for the supposedly perfect Ria-ou to be revealed the weirdest and most dysfunctional character to have ever been created by Hirasaka, but that's my wishful thinking speaking

At usual, Sena is the first in taking the initiative.
She is straight and takes the lead, and is very enthusiastic. In reality I think she is also the secret leader of the club because not only she is pushing herself forward, but also the others around her in a positive way. Well she joined because she wanted friends, and all the others just wanted Kodaka from the beginning. |

For once in his life, Kodaka, just like Ken from a certain LN in a certain collaboration, made all the girls, happy. Even if this only lasted until the day of the meet up.
Btw the Hirasaka's part in the collaboration had Rika referring club members to someone else as 'friends', was wondering if it was a intentional on his part or not. |

Well... he is just pragmatic. Why should he have four dates at different times with the same purpose (buying a birthday present for Kobata)? And Kodaka wants friends first (a higher purpose) and not a romantic relationship with one of the club members.
If you had no friends for such a long time, you can't befriend yourself so easily again. Kodaka has a low self-confidence, seeing himself as a coward or worthless creature. It is believable that he does not realize that he is really being liked and loved by so many pretty girls, so he does not take them seriously at all. Any direct approach just fails. It will take some time for him to open up. The way to his heart is to build a trustful relationship with him first. Last edited by mironicus; 2012-05-29 at 09:49. |

And I don't think his self-esteem is THAT low. Given that all four leading girls flagging signals at him (Yozora, Sena, Rika and Yukimura) are eccentric if physically very attractive girls.... that changes the equation somewhat here. More interestingly, I get the sense that Rika is the most desperate, and most aware of the risk of getting Friendzoned. Sena is a little too oblivious, Yozora seems to have tunnel vision of sorts, and Yukimura's.... watching. By the way, we haven't really seen what makes Yukimura tick yet. We have had Sena centric chapters, Yozora centric chapters, and recently, quite alot of Rika-centric chapters, but we don't have similar such chapters exclusively between Yukimura and Kodaka. There's alot of unanswered questions about that girl.... |

Yukimura could become something like Stella in the future. She is probably not a serious love interest in this competition.

At the end of Episode 3 she already reached a state where she could become Kodakas girlfriend. In comparision with Yozora who had to realize in Episode 12 that their childhood friendship ended already ten years ago and that she had to form a new friendship with him. |
