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? Review: Foundation Novel, A Must Buy🍀 - As a reader first I would like to share my wonderful experience after reading this Novel. This Novel is NOT⚔️ like any other novel in the Market. It is a completely different experience and believe me you would love it. The Novel starts with the 'LONER' who is the protagonist of the story. Yes, his name is Hikigaya Hachiman!!😆. It is a novel from a loners point of view who tries to stay away from society and even in high school, he's alone. He has no friends not only because of his personality but because he insists that a person can only get hurt by being close to people. He develops this personality because of his past trauma of being rejected by the girl he thought was interested in him(he actually didn't love her) and his childhood being ignored and made fun off. Although Hikigaya tries his best to stay away from people but it cannot be helped when his Japanese teacher and career counselor Miss Hiratsuka comes in his life like a thunderstorm and disrupts his silent loner life by forcefully making him join the Service Club where Hikigaya has to help people. He is introduced to the president of the club that is Yukino Yukinoshta, who is the Ace Ice Beauty or Ice Queen of the school. From here on out she changes Hikigaya's life upside down.( Here is where all the things begin).Later Hikigaya comes to know that she has a defective personality just as much as he does but in a different way. Although he is impressed by Yukinoshta's thought process but cannot come to agree that it is right. Finally, the third character who will put a very strong impact on the upcoming novel is introduced and yes, she is none other than Yui Yuigahama. The dumb girl who finds an interest in the service club and decides to stick around. She idolise's Yukinoshta and her character development is quite inspired by her. This Volume cover the Tennis Court Finale incident and the Theatrics of a certain friend of HIKIGAYA!!! The beauty of the novel lies in the Monologues. This is a First person novel and is only shown from the view point of Hikigaya Hachiman. This Novel is very Unique in the case that all the novels present in the market whether it's SAO, Accel World or Danmachi, are all fantasy world related and is not down to earth🤔. This novel shows the reality which most people over look in life from a point of loner. Believe it or not ever person experiences lonely at a point of time in life. This novel very much gives us a strong message NEVER TO GIVE UP. Also I would like to tell that it's one of its own series and can be clearly differentiate from other anime and novels. It's an funny as well as an emotional series. This novel lays down the foundation for the upcoming series and I strongly recommend to all my review readers to atleast once buy the novel and you will get hooked up if you are the kind who finds a different perspective in life. The view from a different perspective is refreshing and quite enjoyable indeed.😄👍 In the end I would like to conclude that I this series has the potential and the novel has intact more potential than the manga because Hikigaya's thoughts are given in detail at each point which we may be missing in the manga. Viewing the anime before reading is a good idea and I would recommend it to know the exact time in which he speaks between the lines but if you are the one to read first then go ahead👍. Review: One of the funniest light novels out there - This was an amazing read. The witty monologues of the main character never fail to elicit a laugh and the characters around him are just as witty and fun. This light novel probably got me laughing more than any other novel has before. The illustrations were amazing as well. If you liked the anime or just want to read a different and enjoyable novel set in high school, you will love this series.

The delivery quality
The delivery quality was certainly good. I was afraid it would come to me in pieces or torn or with a bad binding but so was certainly not the case. CloudTail seller is really good when it comes to this

Way Better than expected
The package wasn't anything special, but the product was in top notch condition. The package was a little torn though. The delivery and handling was very good as a product like this could have easily been damaged. Overall a terrific purchase.

La mejor novela juvenil japonesa de la década
Primero que nada, el servicio de Amazon fue excelente y el tomo me llegó en tiempo y forma. Respecto a la novela, trata de un chaval socialmente inadaptado que se ve forzado a cohexistir y abrirse con un grupo de personas que presentan sus particularidades, logrando que a la larga el protagonista evolucione como persona... a su manera y no precisamente para bien. Oregairu tiene elementos muy comunes de las series contemporáneas cómo su típico hárem entorno al protagonista, rivalidades amorosas, conflictos existenciales de adolescentes, etc... Sin embargo, el autor ha creado una historia con una narrativa muy profunda que rompe con lo superficial, psicológicamente se torna madura y sofisticada. Por último, Yen Press ha hecho un fantástico trabajo editando la novela, a la fecha se han publicado once en Japón y espero que en los próximos volúmenes mantengan la misma calidad editorial.

Great start to an excellent romantic comedy
Hachiman Hikigiya is not a pleasant person, and this book really makes you realise that. Through silly quips and tasteless jokes, he really shines through as someone who has truly gained the tag of "loner". Despite his rough starts, the series as a whole really provides excellent scenarios in this character-driven romance/drama/comedy series with amazing interactions between the three main characters introduced in this story.
