History YMMV / Haganai

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Occasionally you can hear in the background something suspiciously similar to the [[Music/JohnWilliams Imperial]] [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack March]].

** Basically every time Rika lets her perverted fantasies get the better of her and begins acting like an over-enthusiastic porn actress. Her incredibly suggestive space mecha battle scene is probably the most prominent example.

** Basically every time Rika lets her perverted fantasies get the better of her and begins hyperventilating in overly audacious fashion. Her incredibly suggestive space mecha battle scene is probably the most prominent example.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The second season has the infamous scene where Kodaka had just [[NakedFirstImpression discovered]] that [[SamusIsAGirl Yukimura is a girl]] and [[LovableSexManiac Rika]] decides to find out for herself by '''''fingering Yukimura''' in plain sight of the entire group'', followed by Rika visibly ''spreading her fingers to see if Yukimura had gotten wet from it'' and happily announcing that Yukimura is indeed a girl.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:
** Yozora's mean streak and selfishness are obvious, but almost all of her bile seems reserved for Sena and Maria, the arrogant [[RichBitch Rich]] AlphaBitch and InsufferableGenius BrattyHalfPint. As the series goes on, she starts getting the hints of when she goes too far in her BreakTheHaughty hobby, as when [[spoiler: she pushes Sena too far until she passionately admits her devotion to {{Eroge}} in such a way that even Rika is shocked. Yozora ''honestly'' apologizes.]]
** Some fans theorize that Yukimura's obsession with being "a true Japanese man" [[spoiler:may indicate being a female-to-male UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}}]].

* LesYay: There's something more to Yozora and Sena's relationship than their frequent squabbles would indicate. On Yozora's side, she believes nicknames are only for friends, even if it was as insulting as Sena's "Meat". On Sena's side, she confessed to Kodaka that she's secretly happy with her nickname because she has never been given one before. Then comes actual interaction: during the BeachEpisode Sena was apparently enjoying Yozora rubbing her back with suntan with her feet, and also commented [[spoiler: that Yozora, post-haircut, [[StupidSexyFlanders looks ridiculously handsome]] [[{{Bifauxnen}} in a male school uniform]]]]. Not to mention Sena plastering her bedroom ceiling with pictures of Yozura and the shots of her smelling Yozura's wig with her hand between her legs!

* BetterThanCanon: The manga adaptation is more beloved over the latter half of the original light novels, for what readers felt was a more conclusive resolution to the girls' love and Kodaka explicitly pursuing one of the girls towards the end of the manga.

* FountainOfMemes: Rika.

** Yozora's [[TheWoobie woobie]] status seems to kick into high gear at of the end of Volume 9, as the reasons for her dislike of romance and same-sex friendships are laid bare: [[spoiler:Her mother's best friend betrayed her by having an affair with Yozora's father, so Yozora has a dysfunctional relationship with her father and her sister Hinata as the two took opposite sides in a bitter divorce]]. Needless to say, Sena's confession and Kodaka hiding out with the Student Council in Volume 8 didn't help, nor did [[ExactEavesdropping her overhearing]] Kodaka and Rika's conversation at the end of the volume. Oh, and [[spoiler: said mother has become such a bitter wreck that she once flipped out and ''stabbed'' her.]]

* {{Moe}}: Kobato, Maria, and Sena

* LesYay: There's something more to Yozora and Sena's relationship than their frequent squabbles would indicate. On Yozora's side, she believes nicknames are only for friends, even if it was as insulting as Sena's "[[GagBoobs Meat]]". On Sena's side, she confessed to Kodaka that she's secretly happy with her nickname because she has never been given one before. Then comes actual interaction: during the BeachEpisode Sena was apparently enjoying Yozora rubbing her back with suntan with her feet, and also commented [[spoiler: that Yozora, post-haircut, [[StupidSexyFlanders looks ridiculously handsome]] [[{{Bifauxnen}} in a male school uniform]]]]. Not to mention Sena plastering her bedroom ceiling with pictures of Yozura and the shots of her smelling Yozura's wig with her hand between her legs!

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Stella gave Kodaka and Sena a condom! How hilarious! [[spoiler: Then in the Connect extras it's revealed that Stella is the end result of a teenage pregnancy from a fling Pegasus had in high school and one realises that she might actually have been genuinely concerned that her little half-sister could suffer a similar fate.]]

** [[FoeYay Yozora]][[LesYay /Sena]] is also rather popular.

* ShipToShipCombat: In parts of the vast reaches of the internet, there's a battle between those who'd prefer to see Kodaka with Yozora, and others who would rather see him with Sena. The other girls are largely relegated to DemotedToExtra status in this regard. Amusingly, Kodaka himself keeps letting it slip that ''Rika'' is really his type (or would be with a better personality, but that goes for all the girls). [[spoiler: He ultimately admits to the girls that [[DumpThemAll he's not comfortable dating any of them]] because [[BetterAsFriends he just can't bring himself to alter the group dynamic like that]].]]

** Yozora's [[TheWoobie woobie]] status seems to have kicked into high gear as of the end of Volume 9, as the reasons for her dislike of romance and same-sex friendships are laid bare ([[spoiler:her mother's best friend betrayed her by having an affair with her father]]), and is shown to have a dysfunctional relationship with her sister [[spoiler:Hinata]] as the two took opposite sides in a bitter divorce.

** If the events of volume 8 go unobstructed, seems like the joke's gonna be on Yozora fans. [[spoiler:As of volume 9, the Sena ship has effectively been halted with a torpedo, letting the other ships close in, since Kodaka turns down Sena's offer of marriage.]]
** Rika and Yukimura's ships seem to be gaining some steam with the second anime season. [[spoiler:Volume 9 does little to stop them.]]
