Haganai: Difference between revisions

----

=== This series does have many examples of: ===

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Not that he realizes it, but Kodaka at the very least has this going for him. Yukimura goes without saying, putting his gender aside. Surprisingly, Yozora is also quite susceptible; while playing an otome game, she gets bored to tears by all the nice pretty boys until she ran across a delinquent character -- who looks like Kodaka, no less.

** Further reinforced in that chapter by the rest of the girls also agreeing with Yozora that the 'delinquent' in the otome game was more to their tastes, promptly shooting down Kodaka's reservations about dating that character.

'''Maria:''' "Ya! Despite my appearance, I'm a longtime actor."<br />

'''Kodaka:''' "Oh, that's a surprise."<br />

'''Kodaka:''' "O-Oh, is that right?"<br />

'''Maria:''' "Ya!" }}

* [[Girls Love Stuffed Animals]]: Kobato carries a patchwork rabbit around with her almost constantly.

* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Yozora's ghost story.

** Also, in Episode 8, Sena falls prey to a nightmarish [[Downer Ending]] on a galge featuring a shark attack on the pool killing both the hero and his harem girls. According to Rika, said galge is notorious for such bloody bad endings which are [[Unwinnable By Design|very easy to trigger should the player mess up with even a single flag]], earning it a "so bad it's good" reputation among gamers. Sena begs to differ, and angrily breaks the disk in half.

* [[Hidden Purpose Test]]: The Neighbor Club's recruitment poster has a seemingly nonsensical mission statement below [[Terrible Artist|an awful artwork]] by Yozora. Turns out the statement has the words "recruiting friends" encrypted diagonally. To Kodaka's surprise, [[Strange Minds Think Alike|there are people who are able to read that]].

* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: The premise -- but thanks to Kodaka, Yozora, Sena, Yukimura, Kobato, Maria and Rika's unusual traits, the only friends they can find are [[Lonely Together|each other]].

* [[Potty Emergency]]: The end of Episode 10 has Sena coming to Kodaka and Yukimura's room and asking the former to escort her to the bathroom. He'd eventually do the same for Kobato and Maria, then kicks Rika out when it turns out she just wants to sleep with him. And when he goes out for the bathroom himself, he encounters Yozora at the doorstep.

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: "Bitch" gets said a lot in Episode 2, while Yozora and Sena prejudge a video game character as a [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]].

* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: The "relay novel" (see [[Round Robin]]).

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Yozora {{spoiler|until she cut it}}

** Exchanging cell phone numbers for Kodaka and Yozora.

* [[Shaggy Dog Story]]: Kodaka's "I'm Scared of Manjuus".

* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: Yozora and Sena all the way.

** To a lesser extent, Kobato and Maria, playing on their Dark vs. Light (i.e., vampire vs. nun) dichotomy.

* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: Rika in the fourth novel.

{{quote| '''Rika:''' "Oh, yeah, now [[Third Person Person|Rika]] is supposed to behave in a more refined way. Would you care for a fuck, sempai?"}}

* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]: Yukimura gets this reaction from every other male.

* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: Sena claims she cannot swim, blaming her primary school's lack of swimming lessons for it. This factors into her plea to Kodaka, who, for a harem protagonist, ''averts'' this trope by being a decent swimmer, to teach her how to swim.

* [[Tsundere]]: Yozora and Sena display traits of this in varying degrees. Sometimes the cast will also discuss this trope or accuse a person of being one. At one point they ponder about having a "tsundere omniscient narrator". It didn't make much sense.

* [[Tsurime Eyes]]: Sena and Yozora accuse each other of having them.

* [[Video Game Caring Potential]]: Sena becomes addicted to [[Dating Sim|dating sims]] because of this, to the point of referring to the characters in them casually as if they were her actual friends.

* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: [[Played for Laughs]] in Chapter 4/Episode 2. While playing "Tokimeite Memorial Days", Yozora and Sena agreed -- [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis|for once]] -- to court shy Yukiko Nagata, while they keep shooting down overtures by Akari Fujibayashi, whom they deem a [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]] just because she's proactive, with the most cruel options. [[Genre Savvy|Kodaka]] is none too amused. Their choices come back to [[Laser-Guided Karma|bite them in the ass]] when [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment]] kicks in and rumors that their protagonist, "Semoponume Kashiwazaki", was a [[He-Man Woman Hater]] became so widespread -- whose spread [[Comically Missing the Point|Yozora and Sena directly attribute to Akari]] -- Yukiko eventually shot him down. They ultimately got a [[Downer Ending]] so depressing [[Serious Business|Sena breaks down crying, while Yozora storms out of the clubroom threatening to kill Akari]].

** Also, while playing [[Monster Hunter (Video Game)|Monster Hunter]] Sena and Yozora spend most of their time griefing each other and ignoring everything else, including their mission and Kodaka.

* [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot]]: Poor Kodaka is on the receiving end of a double helping of regurgitated yaminabe ("black hot pot," where the participants each add ingredients to the pot and eat in the dark) from Yozora and Sena in Episode 0.

* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Yukimura
