Manga Notes: Haganai 18

In that subset of anime both “embedded in a contemporary high school” and “featuring a somewhat disreputable teenaged guy who just happens to be able to hang out with many attractive teenaged girls,” Haganai (I Don’t Have Many Friends) has at least stuck in my memory, if for reasons less wholesome than, say, Clannad. Its animation did less “conclude” than leave off with an obvious nudge towards its original source material, but in this case Seven Seas is translating and publishing the manga. The manga is itself an adaptation of light novels, but in this case Itachi’s artwork has more character than a lot of other “manga adaptations” I’ve come across.
