I see, thanks for clarifying that for me.

You ain't kidding.

Base on Chinese translator's spoiler:

Spoiler for Volume 9 spoiler:

The girl in the bath is Yozora.
Kodaka's answer to Sena is that he loves/likes her but he won't date her or anyone else.

I give it a 1-2 weeks until it is fully translated to Chinese.

Mmmm... I wouldn't be surprised if she is all angst again Hinata's family being part/cause of Yozora's family divorce but she is making a storm on puddle isn't their fault Yozora choose to isolate herself and that their parents' relationship was unstable before Hinata's family appeared =___=; .

At the Japanese wikipedia page about Haganai they have much more information about the characters than the English wikipedia.

Spoiler for Yozora's - Hinata's relationship:

http://archive.foolz.us/a/thread/92022200/ :
>Hinata is Yozora's half-sister. Hinata's mom NTRs Yozora's mom and Yozora's mom and dad became divorced. Yozora despises Hinata, but Hinata likes Yozora.
>Yozora apparently has some trauma involving her mom trying to stab her father.
>Yozora was traumatized by the love triangle of her mom, dad, and Hinata's mom that destroyed her family. The mom apparently threatened the dad with a knife at one point and Yozora gains a phobia of sharp objects.
>The incident also made her disenchanted with Romantic love and instead found solace in idea of platonic friendship.

Japanese wikipedia:
The fact that Yozora's sister is Hinata student body President found in volume 9. At an early age, but unfaithful father divorced her mother caused by, Hinata to her father, the Yozora was received by mother. Now a mother and two people living in alimony from her father. Ran the cheating and women cannot withstand Yozora said mother and father will love such mother that adults still feel a friend's mother, later remarried the woman. And hate that 'woman' from this, then personality is affected. About 10 years ago, became friends with the japanese had externals like the boys in for that. Tried to cheer the mother immediately after the divorce, had backfired and bites from her mother with a kitchen knife has been a kitchen knife for traumas, unable to cook.
Actually Hinata is the older sister of Yozora parents suddenly attached to my father in divorce and divorce, elementary and junior high schools was falling apart. Brought together high school wants to repair relations, the present situation have been avoided from Yozora in our think complex.

I think that's the first quarter translated.

[Candyshark]

Damn you Buriki and your super effective art. I was expecting more of wavy hair chick. She is really to my liking. Without coat and glasses Rika and Yozora looks indentical from certain angels add an ahoge for god sake.

I do hope from this on we will see more improvements for Yozora not necessary in romantic way. Even though i'm pro-Yozora to be honest i still hope that it was just a feint that Yukimura and especially Rika (second season helped) are out of race.

[Raviel]

After seeing those novel illustrations I don't know what's going to hurt Sena more, the fact she has Yozora as a potential rival for Kodaka or that Kobato actually likes Yozora more than her

Spoiler for spoilers about Yozora's family :

Wow.....if those are actually true, then I'm not really surprised that Yozora's personality is the way it is.

No wonder Yozora is so touchy when it comes to issues about trust and relationships; this is just my personal opinion but when you get "betrayed" like that it's incredibly easy to start mistrusting almost everyone around you and it can take years before you recover

Indeed, we are talking about the last illustration, not the first, the guy got confused.

[Sumeragi]

I like how all of my expectations have been met.

Indeed though to be fair there is a certain formula to these things so I'll be really surprised if they deviate from it

[Sumeragi]

I don't think Yozora's family situation is something which is as usual as most other things.

Nah what I mean is that given her 'broken' character, we have come to expect only a handful of things that would be responsible for it... Mainly family. Of course the devil is in the details but you get what I mean.

Don't get me wrong though, I wasn't trying to undermine your predictions

[kazzuya13]

Many pic of the pitiful Yozora.

[jandkas]

To be honest, I don't think really any girl will win in the end, and probably will go for a time skip for the end. Judging from the way recent novels have been going towards.

[SoloPanda]

Holy Crap!!

Spoiler for Yandere:

Is that a freaking Yandere Yozora pic I see in there? ... That's kinda hot too I guess.

The Haganai Connect chapter Stargazers is about Stella, but not about her past, but about more recent events, from the start of the novel until Sena visited the pool with Kodaka to learn swimming. It is revealed that

Spoiler for Stella and Sena's - Kodaka's swimming pool visit:

Stella didn't know what sort of guy Kodaka was and decided to spy on them. She was hiding at the pool the entire time and saw everything. Actually she was the one who had those three guys hit on Sena, because she wanted to see how Kodaka would react:
source, translation by http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?

"His suitability as a love interest, check this out a little bit."
"Kodaka got up and went to the bathroom, and it seems near Stella was a high school junior rather frivolous three-guys group and she approached them."
"Stella asked the three guys, go hit on the busty girl over there."

Chinese translations started on Vol9:

Spoiler for comments:

Thus far, progress reached the end of the chapter where Kodaka replied to the confession. It's refreshing to have a(nother) LN protag openly declaring his perverted side and says he'd be able to do *censored details* to his girlfriend, and while Sena's verbally objecting she doesn't seem to be against the idea of going that far too much...

Though Kodaka's saying he values the existence of the Neighbour's Club more than having a girlfriend, despite how much he likes Sena he won't go out with her. If choosing having someone being very happy and someone being sad due to that happiness, or everyone not 100% happy and have to accommodate for others', Kodaka will choose the latter no matter what. Kodaka wants a happy end for everyone, even if it means trading off maximum happiness for a few people including himself. To Kodaka, it's worth it to restrict yourself if it means he can continue to spend his days here like before.

He's asking Sena to hold off on acting on her feelings at least while they're all in the club, even knowing how much Sena hates constraining herself instead of charging head first aiming for her goal, screw common sense and propriety. Kodaka told Sena this isn't about whether he believes he could be forgiven or not by asking Sena to do this, but instead would Sena forgive him. Sena did eventually agree, saying she's not doing this because she's convinced by Kodaka's reasoning but she's holding back because she loves him.


IMO, at this point it's pretty much a Sena victory in the series, the narrative and dialogue leaves no room for dispute that Kodaka doesn't love Sena (and having raised 100% affection flag for Sena Route). If the Neighbour's Club falls apart within the next week or so, Sena's set to be Kodaka's official girlfriend.

^so at the end of the day us Yozora shippers loses,though its fine
