Haganai is the worst manga I have ever read!

Dear Yukkuricraft, I have read Haganai for 6 volumes, & I can safely say that it is bad. Here is why.

At first, it seems like it might be good, what with the premise of friendless people forming a club to make friends being very relatable. Then everything started to go downhill starting with the arrival of Sena. If she's supposed to be seen as sympathetic, then I do not understand why they made both her & Yozora act like bitches. If one of them acted like that, then I would feel more sympathy, but since it's both of them, all I feel is nothing. Let's talk about Yozora. Yozora's only slightly more sympathetic due to a subplot she has with Kodaka, our protagonist, but it doesn't make up for her basically bullying Sena. Then again, Sena acts like a lolicon around Kodaka's little sister Kobato, aka Reisys VI Felicity Sumeragi. Speaking of Reisys, I can only imagine what was going through the minds of the writer who decided to give her censored nude scenes in volumes 2 & 5. It's especially baffling that I got to see that unwrapped, since Canada has a "WE MUST PROTECT THE FICTIONAL CHILDREN" attitude. Don't get me wrong, she's cute, but dammit. The same can't be said for Rika. Pervy scientist Rika made me very uncomfortable, & I read a scene in Watamote where Tomoko Kuroki watches people have sex from the rooftops (BTW read Watamote, it's better.) I used to think that Yukimura was the best character, until I spoiled myself on the resolution to his character arc, which is a total cop out. As such, Maria became my favourite. Overall, it's mediocre at best, & it's better if you're a fan of harem anime. I give it a 5/I can't even unload it on my sister, & by that I mean 10.

Feel free to criticize me, or put your own criticisms of Haganai. Thank you.

No whatever, more Reimu!

I read the title and I hereby declare you a heretic.

Kobato for life.

I hate the name they gave it. It's suppose to be "I Don't Have Any Friends" and I found the anime to be good.

well I mean I don't see anything wrong with that considering that's what it's called in Japanese...

I assure you I know the full title as well. Its short title is called haganai. 僕友達ない If you read all of the hiragana in the title it spells out haganai. Japan generally refers to titles (and things and everything else under the sun) by four letter names. Boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai -> haganai, puzzles and dragons -> pazudora, -> Grand Central station -> gurasen, Taiko no Tatsujin -> taitatsu etc etc. I believe they also use haganai to refer to itself in official things as well.

Sites I use always use full titles for shows so when I see shorten names being used instead of the full translations, it ticks me off.
