The first episode of 'Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukinai' aired on October 7, 2011. The story starts off with the protagonist, Hasegawa Kodoka, walking down the halls of his school and being pointed at by girls, who run away from him like he is a monster. The beginning seems a bit dull, but that changes when Hasegawa is in front of his classroom and watching his classmate Mikazuki Yozora talking to herself, or so it seems. She then claims that she has an 'air friend', like on might haven an air guitar. After that, they talk a while about having no friends, and Hasegawa leaves the classroom while Mikazuki is thinking about clubs. The next morning, Hasegawa is dragged by Mikazuki, and she proclaims that she would like to make a 'Neighbor's Club'.
At first I thought this episode would be a Suzumiya Haruhi kind of thing, but it is slightly different. Instead of wanting members to join, Mikazuki seems quite cruel to Kashiwazaki Sena, who wants to join the club, and she rejects everything said by Hasegawa. Even so, when watching this, I feel a kind of nostalgia, like I'm watching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya in an alternate universe. I'm not sure about how other episodes will turn out, as I did not read the manga for this series, but I hope they will be as promising as the first episode, because it
is quite entertaining.
