Description: Hasegawa Kodaka has transferred schools, and he’s having a hard time making friends. It doesn’t help that his blond hair tends to make people think he’s a delinquent. One day, he runs into his bad-tempered solitary classmate Yozora while she’s talking animatedly to her imaginary friend Tomo. Realizing that neither of them have any actual friends, they decide that the best way to alter this situation is to form a club and start recruiting.

That is how “Rinjinbu” was formed, a club specifically designed for people who don’t have very many friends. As other lonely classmates slowly join their little club, they’ll try to learn how to build friendships through cooking together, playing games, and other group activities. But will this group of relationship-challenged misfits really be able to get along?

Additional Information: The 「Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai」 light novel series currently has 6 volumes to date — with the first volume debut in August 2009. A manga adaptation was serialized in Comic Alive magazine since March 2010. A parallel story manga featuring Sena, entitled 「Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai +」 , began serialization in Jump SQ.19 on November 2010.

Description = <3

This series is going to be one awesome anime!

Edit -- AIC Build Animation Work is also responsible for making Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai. They're a new company (probably). Only two Animation Works were ever done by them. Also, the character design and animation directed by Watanabe Yoshihiro who's done works on series like Bamboo Blade, Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka, and Sora no Otoshimono series. They're all great anime and I did enjoy watching them (nice animation and character designs).

Damn, I wanna read and watch this now. Thanks. Can't wait!

I'll give this a chance. If it becomes nothing but them being cute and nothing happens in the club, i'm spitting fire.

Oh? "ronery hartsu kurabu" か？　面白いなプレミスだ。
but from the looks of it could be yet another moeblob anime.

Tatsujin · « **Reply #4 on:** May 18, 2011, 03:09:14 AM »

Can someone please translate the title for me in English?

Kyrdua · « **Reply #5 on:** May 18, 2011, 03:16:52 AM »

rough translation using my little knowlege in japanese　(lol)

Boku = I
ha = particle
Tomodachi = Friend(s)
ga = particle(?)
Suki = love/like
nai = negative suffix

"I don't like my friends"

EDIT: could also be " I don't want any friends" but really, no point
in me trying to figure out something i don't know much about.

@thread title /facepalm

I could be really wrong, but it sounds like "I don't have any friends".

Thanks to OP for posting a pic that makes this show lean towards "moeblob with lolis". -_-

I've been tricked by that assumption before, like with Madoka Magika.

After reading the title, I got a bit excited for a serious tear-jerking/heart-wrenching/angsty/depressing anime. You know, something we haven't seen in a while...

But then I saw the pic, no, this is just another moe/harem fanservice show

Havoc10K · « **Reply #13 on:** May 18, 2011, 09:47:58 AM »

just reading that made me laugh, seriously, Tatsu, do frequent updates please, this is starting to be incredibly stupid and funny, all positive of curse, I also think that the two mains will get romance, looking so forward.

P.S. by stupid I meant that the situation is stupid, I like shows and manga about making friends a hard thing, reminds me of Sawako, from zero to religion almost

I also expect this to put Toradora in danger

i misread it as 好きない

. so "I only have a few friends" then? makes sense.
