History YMMV / BokuWaTomodachiGaSukunai

* 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 {{Transgender}}]].
* BaseBreakingCharacter: Yukimura Kusunoki. She has fans that find her RaisedAsTheOppositeGender angle interesting, and find her RecursiveCrossdressing hilarious fuel for character interaction. To others, Yukimura is TheGenericGuy in a cast of wacky and colourful girls.
* CatharsisFactor: Given it's literally a RunningGag for Yozora to bully Sena until she storms out of the room in tears, it's therefore ''very'' satisfying when Sena really hits Yozora where it hurts - by pointing out that her childhood friendship with Kodaka doesn't mean anything in the long run, making Yozora cry.
* FanPreferredCouple:
** Kodaka/Sena and Kodaka/Yozora both had large fan followings, so over the course of the series, whenever one couple seemed to be heading for OfficialCouple status, the other occupied this slot.
** [[FoeYay Yozora]][[LesYay /Sena]] is also rather popular.
** [[IncestYayShipping Kodaka and Kobato]] is strangely popular too, even though they're siblings. Maybe it's the blonde hair, like Kodaka/Sena.
** [[spoiler: Kodaka/Yukimura]] spent some time in this slot.
* FountainOfMemes: Rika.
* HarsherInHindsight: Stella gave Kodaka 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.]]
* JerkassWoobie:
** Sena and Yozora are both unpleasant people who don't give much consideration to others, and can often be outright intentionally cruel, malicious, or vindictive. But you can't help but feel really sorry for them every time they accidentally say or do something that highlights that they're just really lonely people who want to make friends but don't know how. Well, that and [[LaserGuidedKarma they tend to suffer amusingly for their own behavior]].
** 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. 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.]]
* 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!
* {{Moe}}: Kobato, Maria, and Sena
* MemeticMutation:
** [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext PASS THE SPEED OF LIGHT AND EJACULATE! A PIG THAT CAN'T FLY THROUGH SPACE-TIME IS JUST A PREMATURELY EJACULATING WET DREAMING VIRGIN]]
** "''Eh? Nandatte?''"
* OneTrueThreesome: People who aren't just satisfied with Kodaka/Sena tend to add Kobato to the mix. The results, if in any way canon-inspired, tend to be hilarious.
* ShipToShipCombat:
** In other parts of the vast reaches of the internet, there's a battle brewing between those who 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).
** 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.]]
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Occasionally you can hear in the background something suspiciously similar to the [[Music/JohnWilliams Imperial]] [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack March]].
* TearJerker: [[TearJerker/BokuWaTomodachiGaSukunai Right here.]]

----

* EarWorm:
** The opening for Season 1, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiwubBOpuxk The Regrettable Neighbours Club Two and a Half Stars]]".
** The second season's opening, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFuNmx4zg9s Be My Friend]]", is pretty nice as well.
** The ending for Season 2, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_ErEdPos_o Bokura no Tsubasa]]".

* MemeticMutation: [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext PASS THE SPEED OF LIGHT AND EJACULATE! A PIG THAT CAN'T FLY THROUGH SPACE-TIME IS JUST A PREMATURELY EJACULATING WET DREAMING VIRGIN]]

* ShipSinking: In the final volume, to the rage of countless readers. [[spoiler:Kodaka shoots down all the girls of the Neighbor's Club, with Yozora going last, primarily because starting a relationship with any of the girls would mean drastically changing the status quo of the club, and he didn't like the idea of that.]]

* BaseBreaker: Yukimura Kusunoki. She has fans that find her RaisedAsTheOppositeGender angle interesting, and find her RecursiveCrossdressing hilarious fuel for character interaction. To others, Yukimura is TheGenericGuy in a cast of wacky and colourful girls.

To others, Yukimura is TheGenericGuy in a cast of wacky and colourful girls. [[spoiler:It's generally agreed that Kodaka's reasons for choosing her as a potential LoveInterest were in horrible taste]].

** [[spoiler: Kodaka/Yukimura]] spent some time in this slot. You know, back when [[spoiler: nobody thought for a second it would actually WIN...]]
* FoeYay[=/=]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.

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!

* BaseBreaker: Yukimura, most due to being TheGenericGuy in a cast of wacky and colourful girls. [[spoiler:It's generally agreed that Kodaka's reasons for choosing her as a potential LoveInterest were in horrible taste]].

* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** Rika, because her perverted antics make a good contrast to her genuine smarts and thus a very entertaining character overall.
** Kobato too, especially for those who like {{Elegant Gothic Lolita}}s and {{Little Sister Heroine}}s. Or just because her "fights" with Maria and Sena are very entertaining to watch.

* BaseBreaker: Yukimura, most due to being TheGenericGuy in a cast of wacky and colourful girls. [[spoiler:It's generally agreed that Kodaka's reasons for choosing her as a potential LoveInterest were in horrible taste, though]].

* HarsherInHindsight: LOL! Stella gave Kodaka 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.]]

** Kodaka/Sena has the biggest following.
** With Volumes 7 and 8, there's a BrokenBase among the shippers as to whether Sena's storyline is "peaking too early" (in harem series, a sure sign of a RomanticRunnerUp) or not. As of the end of Volume 8, the heavy focus on Sena is {{lampshaded}}, and Volume 9 seems to be leading into a Yozora-heavy storyline.

* TearJerker: [[TearJerker/BokuWaTomodachiGaSukanai Right here.]]

* BaseBreaker: Yukimura, most due to being TheGenericGuy in a cast of wacky and colourful girls.

** Rika.
** Kobato too, for some.

* DudeNotFunny: In the OVA, the club is writing out a story in a round robin way. When it's Yozora's turn, she writes out a scene in which Sena is raped by three monsters, and has Kodaka walk off in disinterest.

* AmbiguouslyGay: If it wasn't for Sena's implied attraction to Kodaka, Sena's homosexuality may not even count as ambiguous. She joins the Neighbour's Club in an attempt to make female friends, referring to the guys who have previously ogled and worshipped her as servants. She enjoys playing galge games which are centred around befriending AND dating attractive girls, she keeps photos of Yozora on her bedroom ceiling (which she gazes at whilst sniffing the wig she wore with her [[ADateWithRosiePalms hand between her legs]], and despite apparently hating Yozora, she has complimented her physical appearance (mainly her hair) on more than one occasion. And let's not even get started on her obsession with Kobato. Surely even [[LoveableSexManiac Rika]] would be telling her to tone it down...

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale: It's probably not as bad as it looks, but there's something to be said about Sena enthusiastically offering to bath Kobato, only to be followed, scenes later, by Kobato running screaming out of the room naked, chased by an equally naked Sena. Kobato is still sincerely freaked by it the following day, though in this case the trope may be subverted in that Kobato has a habit of overreacting and misinterpreting people's actions, and that [[BigBrotherInstinct Kodaka was pretty annoyed with Sena for a bit.]]

* HoYay: Pegasus says his old friend Hayato's name in his sleep ([[ItMakesSenseInContext which Kodaka finds out while sleeping in the same bed as him]]).
