Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai - The next Denpa Onna?!

by feal8726. June 2011 21:10

Hello everyone,

Today we'll cover a preview of a future anime series that finally got a release date for the first episode of a series.

I'm talking about Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai that is an very successfull light novel series that will get an OAD adaptation with the first episode slated for the 22 of september together with the release of the 7th volume of the light novel series.

Boku ga Tomodachi ga Sukunai

How to define this series? Let's take a look at the synopsis :

Hasegawa Kodaka has transferred schools recently, and he’s having a hard time making friends in the new environment. One day, he runs into his bad-tempered solitary classmate Yozora while she’s talking to her imaginary friend Tomo. Realizing that neither of them have any actual friends, they decide that the best way to alter this situation is to form a club and start recruiting. That is how “Rinjinbu” was formed, a club specifically designed for people who don’t have very many friends.

The premise looks and acts like the common comedy/harem series with a single guy that end up in a club filled with pretty girls with the excuse that all of them "don't have friends".

Credible storyline? Not really! But the situations that you can create with such a big and cute cast are enough to make me think that this series can get the spotlight just like Denpa Onna got the spotlight for the same identical reasons.

The original graphical style remind me a lot of Denpa Onna and after a quick search I notice that both series are illustrated by the same guy "Buriki" that is a genius in my books as for girls style. Right after knowing this I run to ANN to see what studio is going to animate this hoping for another Shaft production, but...what I see is AIC Build and the depression start running wild.

Let's be honest, AIC isn't known for its quality work and I'm scared that they'll manage to waste up this great original work as well. Let's hope its just some baseless worry...

As for the seiyuu department we see a rather dedicated and famous group of great artists as we have Kana Hanazawa in the Kobato Hasegawa's role, Marina Inoue in Yozora Mikazuki's role, Kanae Itou in Sena Kashiawazaki's role and many other big names of the scene.

Another great thing of this adaptation is that the director seems to be the same that directed Bamboo Blade (Another AIC work which I loved)/Sora no Otoshimono OAV. Let's hope he'll keep up the good work this time as well. Smile

Let's hope to have a great time with this series as well, I'm expecting a lot from this one! (Planning to start reading the manga as well right from the next manga shipment)

See you soon,

I'm looking forward to this one as well - I've been reading the manga and it's pretty good. Didn't realize it was illustrated by the same person as Denpa Onna. It's not quite your typical harem because all the girls are insane (suffice to say, there are very good reasons that they don't have any friends).

I'm kind of glad it isn't getting animated by Shaft, they have a tendency to focus too much on being stylish and not enough on the actual story... AIC can be bad, but if it's by the director of Bamboo Blade and Sora no Otoshimono it might turn out ok.

Oh, I'm looking more and more forward to the manga now that you told me its good!

The light novel is illustrated by the same person as Denpa Onna for sure, don't know about the manga honestly.

Yeah, let's hope they have enough budget on the animation this time though...

One of my top series to look forward to as well since the manga is really good (Have I convinced you to reading the manga now?). I really should start watching Denpa Onna, lol.

Ahahah, yes in a month time I'll order the new package and it will be there for sure!

Yes, Denpa Onna anime is quite good anyway. Give it a look. (next week it will finish airing with a double episode by the way)

I remember watching a series like this a while back, similar premise, though the girls didn't get along well with each other, unless the guy was around, and even then, they'd have conflict with him...
I recall getting bored with it, and dropping after Ep.3, and don't know the title offhand.

I have to correct myself, seems I fouled up my memory with a combination of the Picture Drama, and reading the scanlated manga for this series.
Though I could swear that I saw it in actual animation...
Opening scene was the blond and the black haired chick sitting in beach chairs being nice to each other then flashes as a 'dream' for the dude wishing they'd get along that well while they where in a LOUD argument in the club room.

Oh, you just remind me that I have to give the Picture Drama a shot, just to prepare myself to the anime/manga...

It sounds decent on paper, but I doubt anything will really be spectacular. Still, I also doubt it'll be anything less than enjoyable.

Another series I have on my list. And yeah, the Denpa Onna style is by the same artist, lol. Also like others have stated, the manga is quite good. That one is illustrated by Itachi.

I was quite shocked to knew it was from the same artist.


Itachi...never heard of, I'll have to check his other works if any...

Took me time to put it together when I first read the series, lol.
Not sure of what else Itachi did, so please do let me know if you find out any info.

There is also a second manga ongoing for it (which I do not have any information about), but done by another artist named Shōichi Taguchi.

Mhn...so there are two manga, that's interesting. I'll see to pick up both when I'm going to prepare the new order. (if the second is available, as I don't remember seeing it in the bookstore I buy manga from...)
