Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai - Episode 13


Only in your dreams, Sena. Only in your dreams.

From the moment the relay novel was suggested, I knew the next 20 minutes or so would definitely be laughter-filled, especially since there two small rivalries and a one-sided taboo relationship within the group. Once again, Yozora's humour is as crude as ever (e.g. rape jokes), resulting in many amusing moments in which I also felt sorry for Sena. In a way, the playful teasing between Kobato and Maria is similar to that of the main pair. And although it was quite disturbing, I do admit that the hints of BL that were added by Yukimura and Rika got some laughs out of me as well. So as for the lesson that was taught in this episode? Never attempt to write a relay novel with a bunch of crazy people, especially if some are at ends with others. The result, though probably funny, is almost always horrible.

With this, the first season of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai is officially over. Luckily, fans will only have to endure four months of waiting until season two, which starts airing in the Winter 2013 season. I felt this episode was released quite strategically when it comes to retaining the fanbase as it both reminds fans about Haganai as well as prepares them for S2. I, for one, can't wait for Winter 2013 to arrive, despite the Fall 2012 season having just started. Looking forward to yet another great season of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai in four months!
