(L) Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai - Manga Discussion

[Lexxus]

Well I can say that it all boils down to our own preference

[bakAnki]

Just read #21 and Shoboon #2.

Spoiler for :

It's still fun to see their more comical expression, especially Rika's hentai face XD
And Yozora's sleep mask is great XD

Didn't get the story of Shoboon #2, it's about Sena's 'meat' nickname. It seems she really likes it and want to be a good meat or something
Have to wait for the translation, but at least it's nice to see cat Yozora, Sena becomes a teacher, and Senazarashi (Seal Sena) XD

[bakAnki]

Seinagi has translated chapter 3 of Haganai+

Courage test and Kobato join!

Spoiler for :

And didn't notice it when I read the raw, here on Plus Yozora didn't know Kodaka is Taka until Kodaka said the 100 friends thing...

[bakAnki]

Just read chapter 22 and Shoboon chapter 3...

Spoiler for ch 22:

It's the 'going to pool together' and 'swimsuit' chapter. Kodaka's reaction when Rika said she'll wear sexy swimsuit was great XD


And Yozora's horse mask looks creepier here

Spoiler for Shoboon ch 3:

Kobato-focused chapter. Other Rinjinbu members were asked what is their opinion of Kobato. Kodaka eventually said, "She is my cute little sister", and we get to see the time when Kodaka left Kobato alone.

After ate breakfast Kodaka prepared, Kobato went to Kodaka's room and then hugged, sniffed, and wore Kodaka's shirt
At that time Kodaka came because he forgot something. Embarrassed, Kobato took off Kodaka's shirt she wore and ran to her room, naked. Kodaka talked to her, made her admit that she is lonely. Kodaka then cancelled his plan that day so he can stay at home with Kobato. He wanted to cook for lunch and asked Kobato to wait for him and watch TV, but Kobato wanted to help him cook.

Then it was Kobato's turn to get asked what is her opinion of Kodaka. At first she answered by her usual Leysis persona, but then she said, "My very kind an-chan I really love--"

Chapter 23

Spoiler for short summary:

Part 1 of visiting Kashiwazaki mansion. Debut of Pegasus and Stella on the manga.

Don't get your hopes up to see meatfest on this chapter, as I said this is only the part 1. We didn't get to that part yet But we get this as a bonus though :3

Shoboon #4

Spoiler for short(?!) summary:

Rika-focused. I had harder time understanding the conversations on this chapter so maybe there are more mistakes compared to before (my Japanese are still poor even with all those furiganas XP).

Basically Rika was clinging all over Kodaka to get his attention saying she loves him and all after Kodaka said that he thought Rika is cute but she's too pervert it turns him off.

"Senpai, do you know that penis and pencil have the same derivation?"

Annoyed with Kodaka's "Eh, what is it?" indecisive line, Rika drank a special potion (that was actually just a normal juice, but Kodaka didn't know it) that made her a normal girl without pervert thoughts. She confessed to Kodaka immediately, as other Neigbor Club members on their way, they ran from the clubroom and then Rika asked Kodaka to go together on a date.

On the promised day, as they haven't gone to a date before, Rika shyly show the date magazine she brought and then they watched a movie, ate ice cream, and went to game center. At the end of the date Rika thanked Kodaka for made her fulfilled one of her dream. The later conversation I didn't really get, but Rika wanted to hear Kodaka's answer to her confession days before (she lied to him that she will forget everything happened when she's normal because of the potion's side effect). I think Kodaka didn't answer straight but he said, if I'm correct, that he wanted to go together again when Rika is on her true self. An answer that make her feel happy, lonely, and want to cry.

The day after, Rika became her usual self and went crazy over Kodaka again, and as usual Kodaka ignored her with his usual "Eh, what is it?" until Rika said that now she's back to her usual self, she wanted to go date again. Realized that he was tricked by Rika, Kodaka said that his promise wasn't count as Rika tricked him, and Rika replied with "Eh, what is it?" while smiling and saying to herself that for her it's still count as she is truly in love with Kodaka.

Maigo released 22.

"And so, the monster woman horse was born..."

I'm falling in love all over again

Spoiler for spoiler for future chapters:

Props to the manga, here I actually do get the feeling that Sena is interested in the horse mask

[LC]

The manga is so much funnier than the anime, imo. I think both Yozora and Sena are more likable in the manga, as well. Who was Yozora smiling at at the end of the chapter?

Sora has these moments where she starts smiling to herself when she is happy; in the narrative Kodaka usually notes this but doesn't point it out. Examples that I recall on the very same manga are in the end of chapter 1 and when she selected Rozen Maiden in the Saga chapter.

..... Speaking of, I can't forgive the anime for depriving us of Dwarf Sena

[bakAnki]

Just read Plus #6...

Spoiler for summary:

Sena had bad time after she saw Kodaka and Yozora played together when she wasn't there. Pegasus noticed and asked her if she's well, and Sena said that she's fine it just the Neighbor Club members couldn't do anything without her, when actually she hadn't came to the club since the simulation date (detail in my previous post up there). Next day she decided to come to the club room just like usual and saw Yozora with the new hair.

That's what happen if they do return back to being Taka and Sora after Yozora revealed that she is Sora Anyway, Sena felt left out because Kodaka and Yozora seems getting together after Kodaka remember that Yozora is his osananajimi. Didn't want to give up, Sena suggested them to play MonKari (that Monster Hunter rip-off) together. Sena gave Kodaka and Yozora a PSP with low-level character save data while she herself played with high-classed equipments and weapon. Her plan was to play a hard quest, made Kodaka and Yozora stressed of the difficulty so she could help them and single-handedly killed the enemy so Kodaka and Yozora would know that her existence is important.

Her plan failed since both Kodaka and Yozora didn't even know how to play. The moment Sena killed a strong monster, both of them are still far behind because they didn't know how to run She felt useless again but then Kodaka, and even Yozora, asked her how to play the game and she regained her confidence. For once, they played like a real team, Yozora even gave Sena support, saved her when a monster trying to attacked her from behind.

They cleared the mission. Sena and Yozora compliment each other, but shortly after that they realized they unusual behavior and started fighting again, just like the usual situation on Neighbor Club. Then Kate-sensei came to call Sena (she calls her "Oniku-chan" XD) because Pegasus wanted to see her. When Sena left for a while, Kodaka noticed the resignation letter Yozora wanted to give on the previous chapter. Yozora said that she didn't need that letter anymore because now they remember each other.

When Kodaka gave back the letter to Yozora, Sena saw from outside and she thought that both Kodaka and Yozora do want to resign from Neighbor Club since they are friend already and don't need her, just when she thought if it was with Kodaka and Neighbor Club she could find a friend. Pegasus was in his way to the club room and he found Sena with her sad look again, so he came in to the room and said that he will disband the Neighbor Club.

Next chapter will be out on April 19th >.<

[justinstrife]

Very sad chapter for Sena.

[blakstealth]

Just read 22.

Spoiler:

Yozora with that horse mask is much more creepy in the manga. xD

[D-Scythe911]

Another spin-off that each chapters are stand on their own and girl-focused, mostly about their relationship with Kodaka.
First chapter was Yozora's, second was Sena's, third was Kobato's, and fourth was Rika's.

Does this mean that it would be ending soon after Yukimura and Kobato, because this seems like a series that can last for awhile.

[CrowKenobi]

Just a quick note that Seven Seas has licensed the main manga and will release the first volume in November.

Chapter 24 thought

Spoiler for c24:

The manga version make this chapter more hilarious. Seriously, one of the best adaptation for me, the comical expression make it funnier.

Pegasus's drunk face


I forgot about the LN and anime, but I think this is the first time we get to see how Hayato looks like?


And if you've waited for it, yes the meatfest scene was... glorious. 3 splash pages and some more. Kodaka sums it pretty well here for me.

Here a preview if you curious.

Spoiler for NSFW:

The end part is great too with Sena bids Kodaka farewell and Pegasus get mad when Kodaka call his name. We get additional original scene where Yozora packed her things, thinking of Sena and say that she'll better prepare for what to comes. Next chapter is the beach chapter :3

Shoboon #5 summary

Spoiler for Shoboon 5:

It's Yukimura-focused chapter. Rika suddenly asked the others how they think of Yukimura. Kodaka, Sena, and Yozora said that Yukimura is off course a boy. Sena and Yozora are thinking that because they don't want to thinki Yukimura as a girl and Kodaka got beaten by them because he's too dense to know their reason to think that Rika further ask interrogate Yozora why she made Yukimura wear a maid uniform and girl swimsuit.

"Doudai doudai sokontoko!!"

Yukimura came to the room and the other pretend they're not doing anything and that makes Yukimura felt they act the same like his/her classmate that creating a gap with him/her. Later, Rika want to confirm her curiosity and when Yukimura went to toilet (male one), she made Kodaka to follow him/her to confirm it. Kodaka saw Yukimura and said to the intercom Rika gave that Yukimura is peeing while stand. I didn't really understand the later conversation but I think Kodaka's asking if women can stand while peeing too and he got scolded by Yozora and Sena from the intercom. Anyway Yukimura noticed Kodaka so Kodaka didn't have escape route other than pee too. this make Rika went crazy from the other side of intercom, Yozora wanted to hear further too (saying because she is the club leader) and Sena went tsundere as always. Btw, Yukimura saw Kodaka's thing and he/she told that his is big XP

When they washed their hand, Yukimura thanked Kodaka because he still acted the same like he was, thus make Yukimura feel relieved because lately Yukimura felt the other Rinjinbu member start to act like his/her classmate. Kodaka turned off the intercom and told Yukimura that dried his/her hand with paper towel wasn't manly, a man would dry his hand by using his pants. Yukimura did the same clumsily and Kodaka gave thumb up, Yukimura then smiled happily.

When you started become that good-looking, Kodaka? o.o

At the outside of men toilet after Kodaka and Yukimura finished, the girls asked the result to Kodaka (with Maria, who thought Kodaka was taking a dump (unko ka, onii-chan? XP)). Kodaka said that he confirms Yukimura is a boy. When Rika asked why he was so sure, Kodaka hugged Yukimura's shoulder and said that because he and Yukimura has done the man ritual on the inside.

The girls's reaction to what Kodaka just said

On his/her mind, Yukimura didn't sure what just happened but one thing he/she sure of was Kodaka just helped him/her. Yukimura didn't know why his/her chest couldn't stop throbbing, that he/she felt effeminate. It deteriorate from Yukimura's target to become a real man, but Yukimura thought that just for today, he/she will let the effeminate feeling for a while.

I usually not really care for Yukimura but that is one nice chapter of him/her

[Okashira]

Maigo released another chapter. As BakAnki pointed out already, the next one is the assault on Niku's castle

[Morisato]

What is Shoboon?
