Haganai: I Don't Have Many Friends NEXT - Blu-ray & DVD

The neighbour’s club, in which the misunderstood members try to make friends and kill time, has now established itself. Success outside the club may still be lacking, though within the club room, the growing community has found common ground – even if the odd argument and the constant rivalry between Sena and Yozora have not abated.

Kodaka, who his classmates still think is a delinquent without good reason because of his outward appearance, has a different problem at the moment, as he is finding it difficult to study for an upcoming exam. As Sena is not only a video game addict but also the best student at her school, he decides to visit and study with her. Not only does he discover that her room is decorated with pictures of Yozora, which she uses for “grudge purposes”, but a few awkward moments with Sena’s father await him there.

While romantic feelings begin to develop between the members of the neighbour’s club, there is still enough time to visit the amusement park together, play the King’s Game or challenge the school festival. Will this perhaps even bring them closer to their goal of making friends? 

Haganai NEXT is the 12-episode second season, produced by AIC Build, directed by Hisashi Saito, airing on TBS during 2013.
