Haganai: I Don't Have Many Friends · review
So off the bat let me say that the anime covers the manga up to vol 14 though not all the event are in the same order. And if the authors note i vol 15 is true it differs from the LN from vol 15 onward. How much different from the LN it is I don't know since I haven't read them. I will make this short since it's late when I write this and I am tired so I just want to get these thoughts out of the system so they don't keep me awake. Art - The art is good in this manga with manytips off the hat to other shows for instance sometimes the girls are drawn like the Power Puff Girls from the 90's when they are fighting. So I you never gets bored of the art.
Pacing - The Pacing is properly the weakest link. Sometimes the story drags especially in the early part, the opposite is true in the later volumes where the conclusions gets a little rushed.
Story - for a harem it is a suprisingly good story and most of the story lines gets resolved. The main problem I have with the story is that it end a bit too open ended. As I said without spoiling anything most of the sory lines gets an ending and most of these are good, and the story of the neighbours club ends very well. However I would have very much liked a more closed ending and find myself a little unfulfilled.
Characters - The main members of the neighbours club gets a good growth and development and even later characters are enjoyable to follow as they interact with the main group. All in all they seem to be actual people and not just stereotypes as you see in so many harem. Which is impressive when you think of how out there the basic personalities of the characters are. It was a bitter-sweet feeling when it was time for the story to end.
All in all I would say it has been an enjoyable read, but not I don't see myself re-reading it anytime soon.
