YOUTH ROMANTIC COMEDY WRONG EXPECTED GN (2025)

"An adaptation of one of the bestselling light novel franchises in Japan brings high school cynicism face-to-face with youthful enthusiasm in this bittersweet comedy of errors! 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?"

"Hachiman Hikigaya may be in a club with two hot girls, but this isn't going to turn into a rom-com. He may have given out his number, but his phone will remain untexted. Besides, the only true cutie around here? Yeah, it's a guy. Hachiman the loser, Yukino the ice queen, and Yui the bimbo have to find some way to put the 'service' back in Service Club - but so far they've scored zero points in the game of high school life."

"Hachiman Hikigaya's travails in the Service Club continue! When his younger sister Komachi comes to the Service Club with a problem involving Hachiman's stoic, intimidating classmate Saki, he's faced with a challenge. How's he supposed to break through Saki's unflappable and frankly frightening demeanor? Is it possible that Hachiman's notorious cynicism is actually going to be good for something, for once?"

"In spite of his best efforts, Hachiman still finds himself helping out his fellow students as a member of the Service Club. When delusional fantasy lover and fellow reject Zaimokuza tries to establish a 'Playing Club,' how will Hachiman, Yui, and Yukino handle his antics?"

"A summer break without anyone around is the perfect scenario for loner Hachiman Hikigaya, but Hiratsuka-sensei knows just how to shatter his dreams. Instead of a quiet vacation, the members of the Service Club (as well as Hayama's circle of popular students) are helping out at a children's day camp. While elementary school is a distant memory for these teenagers, Hachiman ends up meeting a young kindred spirit - a loner named Rumi Tsurumi!"

"The manga adaptation of one of the bestselling light novel franchises in Japan brings high school cynicism face-to-face with youthful enthusiasm in this bittersweet comedy of errors! Who thought it would be a good idea to put the most cynical, anti-social loner in school on the school festival committee? What's done is done, and Hachiman wants nothing more than to simply muddle through and do as little work as possible. But when the head of the committee can't be bothered to even show up to most meetings, work begins to fall heavily on Yukino and the others. The event date closes in relentlessly but will they finish the preparations in time when half the committee is slacking off?"

"The manga adaptation of one of the bestselling light novel franchises in Japan brings high school cynicism face-to-face with youthful enthusiasm in this bittersweet comedy of errors! With this year's Culture Festival coming to a close, the Service Club returns to their regular duty, when council president, Meguri Shiromeguri, appears! She wants Hachiman and the rest of the Service Club to make the upcoming Sports Day a success!"

"The sports festival comes to a close. Next comes the school trip to Kyoto! There, the Service Club receives an unusual client with an unusual request-to help with a romantic conundrum! "

"There's a new student council president, and the Service Club's first job for their new leader is to help set up a Christmas event with another school. The problems keep piling up, but Hachiman keeps taking on task after task by himself! What's going to happen to the relationship between Hachiman, Yui, and Yukino from here? Age 13 and up. "

"With all three members of the Service Club helping out, the joint-school Christmas event should go smoothly. But thanks to Tamanawa's nonsense meetings, nothing ever moves forward. Hiratsuka-sensei has a suggestion, and it's...a trip to Destiny Land for Hachiman, Yui, Yukino, and Iroha?! And why's Hayama coming along...? For readers ages 13 and up."

"It's the start of winter, and busy times are ahead for Hachiman, whether it's dealing with Iroha's selfishness or going on a New Year's shrine visit with Komachi. He and Yui are planning to also buy a birthday present for Yukino, but Hachiman somehow ends up on a date (maybe?) with Yukino's sister Haruno?! For readers ages 13 years and up."

"The queen of the school, Yumiko Miura, has come to ask the Service Club for help. Her request: to find out what Hayama plans to do after high school. But Hayama has kept his decision close to his chest, and it might just lead to a clash between Hachiman and Hayama! Ages 13 and Up."

Valentine's Day is coming up, and the Service Club has been called to action! Can Hachiman, Yui, and Yukino help deliver Miura's chocolate to Hayama when he's never accepted any Valentine's chocolate?

The seasons turn to spring as the story plunges into its final arc! Hachiman and Yui share their thoughts with each other, and Yukino lays bare her own feelings in the form of her "final request." Meanwhile, Isshiki Iroha visits the Service Club with a request to jazz up the school graduation ceremony...with a prom! This time, Yukino wants to handle the job on her own, but things might not go as planned...

"During a break from helping to put together a prom for Soubu High School, Hachiman and Yui head to the hardware store to choose a gift for Komachi to celebrate getting into high school. While looking at possible gifts, the two of them...look an awful lot like a couple?! But the day after, Iroha abruptly makes a face and enters the classroom, her brief comment bringing dark clouds looming over the prom's opening..."

Full steam ahead toward prom! The Soubu High School Prom is at a standstill now that Yukino's mother is on the scene. Seeing how much Yukino and Iroha want to hold the event, Hachiman plans a separate prom of his own-a move that'll inevitably lead to conflict with both girls, and will require asking for help from others. Yui has a question for Hachiman: Just what is he thinking....?

The Soubu High School Prom plan plays out, and all involved in this alternate sham version wrap up their roles and duties. Hachiman sets up karaoke to show his appreciation for the volunteers' hard work. But after the party, Yui has a request of her own-"There's something I'd like to talk about. Would you hear me out?"

"Let me throw your life out of alignment." The prom goes off without a hitch, and Yukino announces the end of the Service Club's activities. Hachiman just can't accept it, though. Hachiman's actions are a big surprise, but what are they...??

The Service Club has one last job: running the joint prom between Soubu High and Kaihin High. Hachiman, Yukino, and Yui think about their relationship, as well as what the future holds for them, in this final volume!
