I finished volume one awhile back, really good. I like the LN much more than the anime, though Yukinoshita-san is such a mean character.

Completed Volume 1.

Hachiman is quite interesting, antisocial and proud to be, reading his thoughts made me laugh a lot ~~I can't believe how I liked his interactions with Saika~~.
Ojou, cheerful girl, otaku, imouto, hot teacher, trap, popular nice guy, bitchy blond(though she seems to be nicer with what I read at the end). Many necessary archetypes characters present in a high school are properly introduced, the female MCs already got some character development. Surprisingly I have no trouble remembering their names.

Again, the prologue was epic :XD

Mean? Compared to characters of this genre I think she is rather nice, she does her best to help people when asked, she is just blunt and her arrogance is understandable, to a degree...

The fact that she accepts any challenge, doesn't it make her easy to manipulate? :derp

Would have probably caught up with Vol 2 today or tomorrow.

Volume 2 Chapter 3 is translated

Everybody is a nice guy for Hayama I liked how Yukinoshita crushed him :lmao

. It seems Yui is interested in Hachiman, I may be wrong but unless it's an unknown character I don't know who it could be. I guess Hayama will talk more to him from now on.

Totsuka is really, really cute. I might root for a Yaoi pairing for the first time

Bah I dont really much like the Totsuka Hikki moments, I prefer Hikki and Hayama its just better and their interactions is great in this.

Description on BT:

This volume contains novel specials bundled together with the anime series' first, third and fifth DVD/Blu-ray Disc.

SharkBait · Jul 31, 2014

What an odd way to do it, they should have just left it bd/dvd exclusive then. I bet the anime owners feel cheated, well I would considering the cost of anime over there.

Demonspeed · Aug 21, 2014

I completed Volume 2.

At the end, was it supposed to be a confession? All the parts were good but Chapter 5 really left a big impression on me. His logic is complicated... He just told her to go away like that. How will he interact with her after this? I guess he thinks she will never speak to him or something?

Okay, so I just received my copy of volume 10.5 yesterday and I have finished it now.

Woaaah I'm now somewhat conflicted about Iroha, to be frank. I am ambivalent towards her character but it's pretty surprising that she - technically - asked Hachiman to a date, even though I am not sure if the motive is romantic to certain extent or she simply wants to tease him. Overall it's a good volume, and a nice interlude before the next volume

Cannot wait for volume 11 next month, I am expecting more dramas after what happened in the previous two volumes.

Demonspeed · Jun 10, 2015

I visited ND today and noticed that more than 10 volumes were translated. I can marathon this, it will end soon I believe, will Volume 11 be the last?
