  Retrospection: overwrought, underwritten, and White Album2 rip-off.

  
  >You're asking me will my love grow. I don't know, I don't know.
  You stick around now, it may show. I don't know, I don't know...
  
  I'd tried to find something similar to this work, from the musical lyrics to the peers Haruhi Suzumiya and Koten-bu Series, but nothing truly fitted the frame. Then I remembered I had watched How I Met Your Mother, and even though its ending was justifiable, the audiences' reception would change after that amount of time spent with the series. Still different is the case of Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru.
  
  __Characters__
  
  Let's be frank. Oregairu is character-driven, so talking about them will automatically do the work here. Warning: What following has the potential of upsetting the fanbase, so be ready.
  
  __Yukino Yukinoshita__ is the front of the work. Any discussions of the work will eventually lead to her. Despite the attention she received, the character is the biggest failure. She had wished to change, yet Yukinoshita was the one showing the least effort, if ever existed. If she had genuinely wanted to do so, here could be some suggestions. I think Yukinoshita the Elder already spoke of something similar to 'codependency', and what should have been her answer is 'Why don't you sit back and enjoy the flow, Nee-san? I will prove this codependency of yours, and just wait for his dance in my palm.' That's how to shut Haruno Yukinoshita up. She had had a tongue, a very sharp one, but why did she need to behave like a cat eventually? Against the mother, well, let her be the plan maker instead of Hikigaya, suck him dry and recharge him with the word 'I love you', because it was already the end and why there was still no sign of Yukinoshita's Revolution, let alone the opportunity of freeing herself from the tangled shackles, including those of Hikigaya, at the gist 8th volume, which would have built up the much better momentum towards the end? If those things had been done, other ships would have been effortlessly sunken. However, I don't hold any particular hatred towards the character. Her state is what the author wanted to preserve, and her annoying constancy spoke the unshakable will of his. So congratulation on him getting the waifu. Yuki is always a good example of overcoming dependent tendency, and it is my pleasure to say the full name, Yuki Souma.
  
  __Hachiman Hikigaya__ is the protagonist of this novel. Past experiences had left such bitter taste that he considered kindness was the cruelest thing. It got him resolving the least imaginable logic, which consequently made him self-explode many times during the journey. However, what he sought for was something genuine, and if it weren't to prove after bending, twisting, shashing, then there shouldn't any belief laid in it at all. If the character had always been himself, then it would be fine, but actually, it wasn't. He had desired for something genuine, yet proceeded kicking the balls to others and remained passive for the entire Yukino Yukinoshita's True End (Shin involved). Investigating further, there was no Hachiman Hikigaya in the first place. IT HAD BEEN THE AUTHOR ALL THE TIME. WAKE UP, JAPAN. ~~Wataru Watari~~He never considered getting out of his cocoon, so the character is so bloody relatable and realistic. Also, if you dream, dream of winning, being a proper individual. Don't be a loser just to get the girl, but in such case, it would no longer be the good old insertable Hachiman Hikigaya, wouldn't it?
  
  So far only boring characters? There are also the interesting. __Yui Yuigahama__ was seemingly a character academically disadvantageous, big boobs, TOTALLY UNATTRACTIVE... but when it came to common sense, she was such a clever person. She knew and understood everything, so most of the time she was playing the role of an observer. However, when Yuigahama was on stage, she shone brilliantly. The character possessed things the other clubmates didn't, so in the darkest hours, she was the one keep everything binding together. She was always the first one taking a step forward, leading the story out of the stagnancy with her 'I want everything', which is my greatest impression of the work, from the portrayal of the surrounding to every expression of the characters. Eventually, her influence surpassed that of the narrator, and I used to think of which season would be remembered every time taking a whiff of that smell, tea or fruit tart, because I firmly believed the bakery product would be much better to become a straight-forward person, or gain weight.
  
  The supporting characters are also prominent. __Shizuka Hiratsuka__ deserves the title of a (lonely) mentor. __Haruno Yukinoshita__, as well as her childhood friend __Hayato Hayama__, were loners full of conflicts and regrets. __Iroha Isshiki__ also found herself solitary. The author had gathered many kinds of lonely souls in his work, and the way they struggled finding a solution was so human, but certainly it is not that realistic. On the other hand, __Saika Totsuka__ had appeared forgettably, but turned out he was the first to graduate within the series. After the revaluation, I believe these characters, along with Yui Yuigahama, were the motivation for me to pursue the end. Nevertheless, there is still this unshakable sensation that many of them were the devices buying time whilst Wataru Watari making the decision that should have been thrown out 5 volumes earlier.
  
  __Something other than the characters__
  
  References are just fillers. I never paid any mind to them, not to mention they mostly missed.
  
  The illustration really grew with the course of actions, even though the quality was inconsistent at times.
  
  __Conclusion:__ Honestly, I've never been onto the Shi* War, as all necessity would be for the characters to grow naturally. Nevertheless, Yukino Yukinoshita's True End offered no such thing. It had been fun, until it no longer was.
  
  >Away, I'd rather sail away, like a swan that's here and gone.
  A man gets tied up to the ground, he gives the world its saddest sound, its saddest sound.
  
  Certainly, reality wasn't that kind regarding to what had happened so far.

  A misunderstood masterpiece.

  (This review was written in my native language and I didn't check the entire text properly, just bear with me)

  OreGairu is one of the most famous titles in the high school slice of life genre, and most of the community has seen or at least heard of Wataru Watari and Ponkan8's work. But I believe that a relatively smaller number actually read the light novel to completion. The reason for this is that Novel/LN media has a very different model from what the general public watches or reads. Unlike the ninth art (comics/manga) and animation/anime, with sequential movements and a sense close to the seventh art, Novels are close to literature. And, from time to time, we have some prints and art (if it's one you have). The format causes disinterest in the public that does not have the habit of reading, which does not only concern LNs, but literature in general. However, the media thrives a lot among the public that have attachment and habit. And I can only hope it keeps growing.

  That said, what's so special about OreGairu? What would motivate someone to read a juvenile title that has around 168 chapters? The story revolves around Hikigaya Hachiman, an antisocial 2nd year student at Sobu High School. One day, he is taken by teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka to the Volunteer Club room. In which the only member at the moment is Yukinoshita Yukino, an exemplary student with a unique appearance. According to Hiratsuka, the objective of bringing him there was so that he could have his "distorted" ideals fixed. But through self-reflection, conditioned by Yukinoshita. Such action was encouraged, in large part, by an essay written by Hikigaya, in which he wrote abominations to the youthful spirit and the "riajuus" (the popular kids).

  Initially, both students dislike each other, as they are theoretically opposites. However, when passing the first chapter, it becomes clear that both are very similar in terms of interaction skills. Both don't have friends, but for different reasons. Hachiman for her antisocial and withdrawn attitude, and Yukino for being “perfect” in the extreme. The teacher then decides to establish a bet, in which both should strive to help as many people as possible in the club. The one who won could ask someone else for a favor. Such a gamble earns Yukino's revulsion, but she later reluctantly accepts. A few moments later, Yuigahama Yui arrives, the first person to open the bet. Yui is popular and, although not a bright student, she has a friendly attitude towards her fellow members and is kind. His aura is bright and spontaneous, the opposite of the two students. Yuigahama was asked to learn how to make cookies; such an arduous task is taken up by Yukinoshita, a proficient cook. After this unusual situation, which would be remembered many volumes later, our main trio takes shape. Over time, many other beloved characters emerge, each with their background and story worked on.

  

  Although I have a lot of praise for the series, it is necessary to admit that everything started to take shape little by little. The first 3 volumes focus on daily problems and requests throughout the Sobu School. However, over time, the construction and destiny of the characters (and the protagonists in particular) intertwine, to the point that the story turns to what they really want. The trio begins to bond emotionally, to the point that they yearn for the Volunteer Club. An affection and companionship grows between the two girls in the club. The atmosphere and togetherness, even if routine, is a portrait of what is so special about them. A small fragment of daily life, which only gets due attention after a breakup. Be it due to raids and fights or the passing of the school years.

  OreGairu shows that even if precious moments are lived, they won't be forever. The journey is about looking for “something genuine”, but also about breaking cycles. Which is evident from volume 10 onwards. There is a melancholy amidst the happiness during Novel. The feeling that those shards of joy will pass. For a significant amount of time, Hachiman struggles with his inner self. Self-sacrifice, not caring about those who care and want good is a recurring theme.

  The lonely boy has always dealt with his problems using rough methods, but when in conflict with Yukino, they cause a bitter and distant feeling. Yui ends up always trying to unite the trio, even through superficial conversations. Speaking of which, authenticity is another notable theme. The need to maintain their appearances and masks is visible in order to have a favorable school life. What is Hachiman's point of criticism ends up turning against him. The loner who has always boasted of his emotional independence, when faced with people who become important, begins to fear losing his special days with his clubmates.

  

  There is a sense of realism in each of the characters that I rarely find in industry work. My only criticisms overall would be a few points in Watari's writing. He likes to throw in a lot of references to games and manga. It doesn't bother me in general, but in some chapters it fills with references and this ended up getting a little off topic at certain times. Even so, I interpret it as an immersion into the world of youth and adolescence. And, of course, he never does this in more serious and tragic moods. And by the way, there's a slightly dramatic sense to OreGairu. Especially close to completion. And a lot of the time, the drama is timed right. I find the conclusion memorable and nostalgic, in part because of the tone adopted in his writing. Of course, I couldn't stop talking about the meticulous art of Ponkan8. One of my favorite illustrators in the Novel industry. I believe his art has evolved (and a lot) over time. There is even a separate book with her illustrations, with a great sense of fashion.

  

  Overall, I consider OreGairu an amazing journey. With its ups and downs, the series shone a lot, especially in the triad of volumes 8, 9 and 10 (my favorite ones). OreGairu is a Novel aimed at everyone who wants to read something authentic.

  Thanks for reading <3

  A super solid and well done first novel.

  I feel like I've slept on SNAFU for a long time because I just never worked up the courage to read such a classic. Finally I gave it a read and SNAFU comes in and flips the script in the best and most hilarious way possible. What's fascinating is that Watari Wataru doesn't even do anything that unique. It's literally all writing, not cheap tricks (phone reincarnation or reincarnating as a garden shed), just his brain working to build a good story out of the shit the anime space of 2009 gave him. And boy did he get success, this series has an ugodly amount of clout and I finally see why after finally reading the story itself. Diving into SNAFU feels like taking a step back into the early 2010s, a period rife with its own unique blend of cultural and social nuances. For those of us who have lived through those years, there's a certain nostalgia that comes with revisiting the themes and dynamics of high school life from that era.

  First off, let's talk about our main man, Hachiman Hikigaya. This guy is the definition of not your average high school protagonist. He's got this gloomy view of life that's actually pretty refreshing (ironically?) Though I couldn't help but feel a bit of the Seinfeld effect. Most stories have these optimistic heroes, but Hachiman? He makes you think and laugh with his cynical take on everything.

  Then there's Yui and Yukino. Yui is this burst of sunshine, but she's obviously got her own battles which I hope get fleshed out in the novels more than the anime, which adds layers to her character. Yukino, with her sharp wit and hidden vulnerabilities, creates this dynamic with Hachiman and Yui that's just so interesting to watch unfold. They're not your two dimensional anime high school girls; they've got depth and real issues they're working through, making their journey together something you really get invested in.

  But not every character hits the mark. Take Zaimokuza, for example. He's supposed to be the comic relief with his 2009-esque Japanese internet comedy, but honestly, he comes off more annoying than funny. Yet he's balanced out by other side characters like hayama and totuka who I want to see in the later instalations...

  What's truly baffling is how SNAFU manages to stand out despite the light novel industry's love affair with recycling the same old plots and characters. I want to add that this is not a replicable story. Few writers are actually able to replicate what Watari did in the 2010s with this series. I don't think we should let this one good series make us forget that the LN industry needs change. We need a more tropes and LN writers need to look outside of their own industry for inspiration.

  But hey, that's just my opinion. I am going through making a bunch of reviews for stuff so if you're interested give me a follow
