Description

Hachiman Hikigaya is a cynic. "Youth" is a crock, he believes--a sucker's game, an illusion woven from failure and hypocrisy. But when he turns in an essay for a school assignment espousing this view, he's sentenced to work in the Service Club, an organization dedicated to helping students with problems in their lives! How will Hachiman the Cynic cope with a job that requires-- gasp!--optimism? Read more

    • my teen romantic comedy is better then expected
having already watched both season of the anime and read the manga that's been published to date, i wanted to check out the original source material.... My Youth Romantic Comedy is Wrong as I Expected (better know by the name used for the anime, My teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU),. it's a pretty good light novel and goes into greater details that might not have appeared in the manga or anime adaptations .. it's good to see the thoughts of the character and learn more about them then we did before.... besides the story, the colored illustrations are in the front of the book and show some of the main characters that appear in the first light novel volume.. there's also a mini poster that shows the two main female character Yui Yuigahama and Yukino Yukinoshita in a state of undressing from their school uniforms with there underwear/bras visible. but that's as about as perverted as it really gets...other wise it's mostly well written text with a with a single black and white illustration once a chapter.. overall it's good though there are quite a lot of errors like misspelled words, words missing letters and things like that.. does detract from the story but it is worth noting.... personally i liked the anime/manga and now the light novels even if there are a lot of things you might have seen in other school based dramatic romantic comedy manga/anime/light novels but it's it has enough uniqueness to make it good nonetheless.. ... show more

    • Nothing says growth like this series' protagonist
If you heard of this series due to the anime adaptation, then you're gonna love the light novels because that is where the story of Hachiman Hikigaya started. For those who never heard of My Youth Romantic Comedy SNAFU, if you like slice of life, school settings, and how a cynical, pessimistic loner being forced to learn to become social, then you'll sure to love this series. I have to say thay, i have watched the anime adaptation and fell in love with the series and the characters within. Each character has a realistic feel to them that you would be able to relate with at least one or more of the characters. In my personal opinion, i'd give this series a 10 out of 10. Please do give this series a try! ... show more

    • Perfect companion to the anime for those who enjoy reading
Review Image by Justin Justin
If you're familiar with the anime "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU," the book series is a wonderful supplement to that. The translation of this series is done pretty well, with only a few minor typos. The translator kept the spirit of the original work intact and chose some interesting ways of getting around the things that you cannot translate perfectly from Japanese to English. I've read this book now in both languages and I'm pleased with the translation. I just wish, with this series being rife with Japanese references and culture, that the publisher had stuck with the Japanese light novel page size (roughly 6" x 4"), or at least close to it, because this book is quite large (roughly 8" x 5.5"). That's just a personal preference, but still, the book's dimensions are a little oversized. The book itself starts out fairly slow, in the same manner as the anime, as it's the first volume and mainly serves to introduce the premise and characters. It's still an entertaining read, and you get a much larger dose of Hachiman's thoughts and motivations as the series is told from his first-person point-of-view. Anyone who enjoyed the anime and likes to read should pick this up. ... show more

    • Fun, nostalgic and a great read.
As I've read the light novel, I could see myself relate to Hachiman Hikigaya on many things. For me, high school life was alright, but fun, and Hachiman's inner monologues throughout the novel remind me of how I used to think back then; I couldn't help but feel nostalgic. The characters are quite peculiar. Aside from the cynic Hachiman, fellow Service Club member Yukino Yukinoshita is a beauty, but has a harsh, cold, and blunt personality. But despite that, she is smart and honest. And then there's Yui Yuigahama. She can be bubbly and cheerful, but lacks self-confidence and goes with the trend only because she wishes to be accepted by others. The dark humor between the trio outcasts are pretty funny, especially when you add in Japanese pop culture references in to the mix. I enjoyed this novel far more than I expected. I'm looking forward to read more of this series. ... show more

    • good read. I can’t wait to read the next
Read in one day. Not your typical rom-com, but fun to read. I was born and schooled in the US, but this high school loner’s experience hit home.

The media could not be loaded. The first volume of Oregairu. It’s definitely a great series in my opinion and this first volume is great! It even came with a poster that was super awesome and unexpected on my end. Very glad with this purchase.

    • A great new series of light novels
Better than the manga, this novel is hilarious fun. The manga has some spoilers for the novels, so I suggest you read the novels first. A colorful cast of characters, who in many cases are more extreme than your typical cast and feel fresh as a result. The dialog is the best part. Compare it to another series I love, D-Frag (manga) which also has good dialog. But most of the jokes in D-Frag are Manzai style two-man comedy. A typical Manzai joke is where one person (boke) says something that is dumb or outrageous and the second person (tsukkomi) calls them out with a witty comeback. The humor in this novel is a little more subtle and the outrageous things the characters say all have a kernel of truth in them, which makes it very funny. The representation of "outcast" in high school is very realistic. Also the thoughts of the protagonist about his outcast status are both thoughtful and funny. I'm rooting for Hachiman. ... show more
