History Literature / MyYouthRomanticComedyIsWrongAsIExpected

* BrokenAce: Yukino. Beautiful, excelling at sports and studies, smart and well-read... [[BrokenBird ostracized for all of that, lonely, cynical and shielded]]. She's very sad and melancholic, and [[TheStoic rarely shows her emotions in front of others]].

* AesopAmnesia: Even after saving them at summer camp, Rumi is still being ostracized by her classmates months later when Hachiman meets her again. For what it's worth, she's more at peace with her solitude.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: So far, no attraction or interest between characters have managed to be mutual. [[{{Shiptease}} Yet.]]

* AnAesop: The characters tend to give aesops pretty frequently in the series. However, that doesn't stop the series from being subtle or poignant when it wants to be.

* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Hachiman is the Brooding Boy and Yui the Gentle Girl.

* NiceGuy: Hayama Hayato. So much so that Hachiman thinks there's something wrong with him. This trope is also lightly {{Deconstructed}} and {{Lampshaded}}. Hayato being nice to everyone causes a friction between his friends who all want to be in the same group with him in a school trip. It is both his greatest strength and a hindrance.

** In a strange example, Hachiman eventually becomes in this during his time in the Service Club, not just with the other students who help with the Club (now seen as a MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold and even [[ChickMagnet gaining the sympathy of the girls outside the Club]]), but with his own FireForgedFriends ([[SenpaiKohai Iroha included]]) who meet his real self, a lonely guy who [[IJustWantToHaveFriends wants something genuine]]. In all these cases, his efforts to improve their lives with the Club defrost his image of loner and show them as a good person... at the point that [[TheAce Hayato]] feels inferior compared to Hachiman.

** First with Hikigaya siblings, Hachiman and Komachi. The former isn't exactly ugly or feared by everyone else, but Komachi certainly is a cutie that has nothing to do with his brother, but Hachiman has a BigBrotherInstinct over her, also extended towards [[ReiAyanamiExpy Ruri Tsurumi]] and [[SenpaiKohai Iroha Isshiki]].

''My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, as I Expected'' (やはり俺の青春ラブコメはまちがっている。-- ''Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru''), often abbreviated as ''[=OreGairu=]'' because of its [[LongTitle lengthy title]], is a 14 volume series of {{Light Novel}}s written by Wataru Watari and illustrated by [=Ponkan8=], which was published from 2011 to 2021 under the Gagag Bunko imprint.

* LongTitle: "My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected." Also, some of the episode titles in the anime:
** "The Distance Between Them Remains Unchanged as the Festival is Becoming a Carnival."
** "Anyway, Getting No Rest, Even Though it's Summer Break, Just Isn't Right"
** "Without Incident, The Congress Dances, But Does Not Progress."
** "Still, The Thing He Seeks Is Out of Reach, And He Continues to Mistake What's Real."

* AdvertisedExtra: Some of the promotional artwork for the series has Saki, Zaimokuza, Totsuka featured prominently, almost appearing to be the second set of main characters to the Service's club main trio. Within the series itself, they're featured less prominently than Hayato's clique.

** Yui's dog tends to get free from his leash and run away. The present Hachiman bought for Yui's birthday is a new dog collar, which she initially mistakes for a necklace.

* ConnectedAllAlong: It's eventually revealed that the main characters all had some brush with each other before the story began. [[spoiler: Hachiman saved a dog from being hit by a car, getting injured in the process. Turns out, Yui was the dog's owner, and Yukino was riding in the car's backseat.]]

** The girls dress up in battle armor during a cavalry battle where they try to take each other's headbands off the other team. While they are embarrassed by it, others comment that since this is a battle, it suits them just fine, although the girls question why it's western-style armor and not samurai armor.

* HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: Yukino and Hachiman to each other, especially when Haruno is around.

** Subverted with Yukino. You can see that she bears one in the anime and light novel, but the actual weight of the IdiotHair makes it limp.

** Hachiman doesn't like it when the girls doing cutesy acts, but he's completely okay if Saika is the one doing them.

* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Komachi, Hachiman's younger sister, does not mind being seen by him in her underwear.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Anime-exclusive, but when Hiratsuka does a callback to Hachiman's "normies should just explode and die" speech from Volume 1/the first season, Hachiman cheerfully mocks her and says the phrase is "so ten years ago". The original release of Volume 1 was in 2011, almost ten years from the anime's final season's end year of 2020.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Hachiman and Yukino's bickering over Sagami's failed entrance speech. No wonder rumors started.

%%* LoonyFriendsImproveYourPersonality: A possible direction for Hachiman. Perhaps Averted for Yukino.

* NatureVersusNurture: A common theme in the series, whether it refers to natural talent, personality, or friendships. For instance, was Hachiman an unpleasant or creepy person who people naturally disliked? Or was he just awkward and failed to make friends, molding him into the cynical person he is now? Yukino seems to feel that even if he had started high school normally (without his accident), he may have still become friendless due to his disposition.

* RejectionAffection: Averted. Constantly rejecting someone, even if it's done as a joke, is a pretty good way to ruin any chances of you having any sort of romance with them, especially if they already have low self-esteem issues about their love life in the first place. [[spoiler:Iroha's dismay at not being a blip on Hachiman's radar as a potential love interest is a direct result of this. By the time she realized her growing feelings for him, he's moved on to Yukino, convinced that a relationship between him and Iroha would never work out because she kept saying so.]]

* StepfordSmiler: Discussed by Hachiman when he observes how people often have smiles glued to their faces when they want to pretend nothing is wrong.

* TwoGirlsAndAGuy: The trope is played in a uncommon way because the guy is the protagonist. On the romance side of things, one girl is interested in the guy. The other girl's interest is somewhere between ambiguous and non-existent depending on who you ask. Although the guy finds both physically attractive, he doesn't want a relationship with either.
* ValentinesDayEpisode: Episode 12 in season 2, when several of the girls make chocolates together.

* AbandonedPetInABox: PlayedForLaughs. A little kitty is left in a box to get Saki Kawasaki's attention, but this failed as Saki is allergic to cats fur. Instead, Yukino Yukinoshita drops her coldness to stay in front of the box meowing with the kitty.

* AesopAmnesia: Even after saving them at summer camp, Rumi is still being ostracized by her classmates months later when Hachiman meets her again.

** Some characters take this a little further than just the first letter or syllable being the same, with the two female leads, ''Yukino''shita ''Yukino'' and ''Yui''gahama ''Yui'', being prime examples.

'''Hachiman(episode12):''' Yeah, we're not alike at all. Maybe that's why these conversations always felt so nice and fresh to me

* BorrowedCatchPhrase: Yukino starts using Hachiman's catch phrase "source: me" or it's variants by episode 3.

*** He also does this rather harshly to Sagami after the latter disappears before the closing ceremony for the school festival in episode 12. His brutalness is so bad[[note]] He tells her that she was deliberately hoping to be discovered. Yet Hachiman found her first despite not caring about her at all, asking her how serious the others were in trying to find her in the first place[[/note]] that Hayato, the usual NiceGuy, does a WhatTheHellHero moment on him, if nothing else, to stop him tearing her character down more [[note]] and because he also finds Hachiman's self-destructive methods detestable[[/note]].
** Hayato makes use of this in episode 4 of season 2, while he and Hachiman are out on a double date with Orimoto and her friend. Orimoto, a girl Hachiman went to middle school with and liked at one point, continually mocks anything he says or does, and her friend joins in on it. At one point Hayato says in no uncertain terms that he's getting sick and tired of the two girls continual insults. His words are harsh enough that the two girls end up leaving, while Hachiman doesn't seem to appreciate the "save" attempt.
*** Though it is interesting to note that Hayama did socially sacrifice himself for Hachiman similar to what Yukino will do later in the series.

* ByronicHero: Hachiman, is one in that his methods in addition to hurting people while achieving the best result, it would almost always paint him in a bad and evil light. By Episode 12, he is the most hated person in the school, which he simply said that it's nice to finally get noticed.

* ChainOfDeals: an easy to miss one in the Season 2's end cards. Starts with Hachiman trading his bottle of MAX coffee for a candy with Saika, then said bottle is traded by everyone until Yukino gets it and [[ShipTease is about to give it a bewildered Hachiman.]]

** Adding onto that list is Iroha Isshiki, mentioned in passing as a Freshmen who tried to get Hayama's attention, and [[spoiler:Kaori Orimoto, the girl Hachiman asked out in middle-school.]]

** In the first chapters of the light novel and in an episode of the first season, Hachiman talks about he had the Chuunibyou syndrome when he was younger, even he made {{Cosplay}} in few ocasions (mostly for himself).

* ContemplationLocation: As [[TheHermit the lone wolf he is]] in his school, Hachiman usually goes to the high school's backyard to lunch and to think, since is his "lonely place". That, until Yui and Iroha started to accompany him there (for his own disdain). Also, when there're no cases to solve, the members of the Service Club use that place to think and rest from the people.

* {{Cyberbullying}}: Downplayed. One of the first cases for the Service Club was about discover who was making cyberbullying to Hayato's [[SatelliteCharacter three male friends]] saying bad rumours about them. This case was managed by Hachiman [[spoiler:by getting Hayama out of equation so the 3-member workgroup was fullfilled by the three guys so they can meet each other without having Hayato as the center]] and with this the rumours are over and all is back to normal.

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Saika Totsuka. He is cute and effeminate, inevitably [[UnsettlingGenderReveal reveals that he is male to Hachiman]].

** The ending for episode 7 in season 2 also has a sad ballad version sung by Yukino. Just like Yui's version in episode 12, Yuikino appears by herself during the pause.

** In the anime OVA, all the girls dress up in wedding gowns.

* ForWantOfANail: It's hinted that the series itself wouldn't have happened if Hachiman hadn't saved Yui's dog and gotten hit by Yukino's family car.

** Yui is the counter balance for Hikki and Yukinon's cynicism and bitter view of the world.

-->'''Zaimokuza (after his manuscript being harshly criticized by Yukino):''' Hachiman, I trust you would understand\\

** Hachiman initially has the hair only in the manga and anime, but his character lacks the implied traits. In the anime, the cowlick also serves as [[ExpressiveHair expressive hair]]. He eventually gets one in the illustrations of later volumes of the light novel.

-->'''Yukino:''' This was obvious from the very start. [[EpicFail You don't]] [[DidntThinkThisThrough have any friends]]

* LoonyFriendsImproveYourPersonality: A possible direction for Hachiman. Perhaps Averted for Yukino.

* MeaningfulName: The shorthand for the show's name, used for the website and conversations is ''[=OreGairu=]'', which translates to; ''I am here''.

** First with Hikigaya siblings, Hachiman and Komachi. The former isn't exactly ugly or feared by everyone else, but Komachi certainly is a cutie that has nothing to do with his brother, but Hachiman has a BigBrotherInstinct over her, also inherited to [[ReiAyanamiExpy Ruri Tsurumi]] and [[SenpaiKohai Iroha Isshiki]].
** Second with [[HugeSchoolgirl Saki Kawasaki]], who isn't ugly either but she's certainly feared because of her loneliness and looking at first sight as a JapaneseDelinquent. But she's so protective of her little siblings as Hachiman is with Komachi.

* TheNicknamer: Yui, who notably starts calling Yukino ''Yukinon'' a day after they first meet. She also calls Hachiman ''Hikki'' despite being a classmate (a fact he isn't even aware of) is the only relationship he previously had with her.

* OfficiallyShortenedTitle: ''[=OreGairu=]'', which can be translated as ''I am Here'' or ''I Exist''.
* OncePerEpisode: A shot of the empty two-sided corridor sign outside the classroom used for main characters' club. "Empty" as in it doesn't read things like "... Office" or "Class ..." Instead, each episode, a new random colourful-emblem-bearing sticker is added to it. 24 stickers means it's episode 11 of season two. This side of the sign should last for some five seasons of [[ElevenEpisodeAnime 1-cour]] variety.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Yukino gives one in episode 10 of season 2 to the other high school's president, after tiring of his constant use of buzzwords. She flat out tells him he needs to shut up or they'll never get anything done. Interesting to note, Hachiman was about to perform another [[HateSink social suicide]] when she gave this speech. Basically, [[TakingTheHeat Yukino socially suicided for Hachiman's sake]].

** Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama.

** Hachiman's interactions with [[GayOption Saika]].

** Iroha repeatedly 'rejecting' Hachiman (apropos of nothing) in increasingly accepting ways.

* SchoolPlay: In the School Festival, a musical based on ''Literature/TheLittlePrince'' was made with Saika as the Little Prince and Hayato as the Aviator. The play quickly becomes HoYay because of her director: Ebina.

** Characters that are more lighthearted such as Zaimokuza and Saika tend to feature much less than say, Hayato's circle of friends due to the escalating seriousness of the series. Hachiman gets their help here and there but that's it.
** In earlier parts of the series, Yukino, Shizuka and Yui had no problem bringing up Hachiman's flaws in a comedic manner (comparing him to a petty criminal, implying he has no presence, etc). In later arcs, his low self-image is treated much more seriously, especially in regards to how the requests to the Service club are solved. Hiratsuka notably stops attacking him, and only delivers advice.

* SilentScapegoat: [[spoiler:This is almost Hachiman's Modus operandi for all the social problems he sets out to help. Since in his grim outlook, no social problems can be solved without turning all parties' hostility toward a common enemy, and he sees himself as an utterly unimportant person, he usually counts himself the perfect person to take the fall and acts the villain; [[{{SubvertedTrope}} much to his friends' sadness and dismay, as they are perfectly aware of his motives and do not know how to talk him out of it]]. Hachiman's friends reaction toward his social self-sacrificial tendencies later becomes a major plot focus in volume 8-10, as they start trying to (socially) sacrifice themselves in order to stop him from doing the similar. [[{{Irony}} This time, much to Hachiman's dismay]].]]

** Hachiman and Hayato's later conversations take on this tone, much to Hachiman's irritation.

** Hayato is happy with his popularity and friends and fears disrupting what they have more than anything. He tells Hachiman in episode 2 of season 2 that he doesn't want a possible romance between his friends to come between the dynamic they currently have, [[spoiler:specifically that Tobe is in love with Ebina.]] Hachiman claims he doesn't really care. [[spoiler:But he ends up saving Tobe the rejection by giving Ebina a LoveConfession right before Tobe does, thus making it seem like he was the one who wanted to ask her out. In the end, the relationships in Hayato's group go unchange, and at least Tobe has some resolution for his crush on Ebina.]]

* TooBrokenToBreak: Hachiman is a young boy who experimented the deception of human relationships at short age, especially about the rejection of girls and ostracism of his class towards him. All of that makes him a [[IWorkAlone lone wolf who doesn't want/interest to make any kind of relationship]], sees the youth as a big lie and has a misogynistic vision of women in general ([[BigBrotherInstinct with the exception of his little sister]]); reasons more than enough for Hiratsuka to force him to be part of the Service Club in order to [[DefrostingIceKing "save his soul" and "being more human"]]. During the series it's seen how Hachiman commits [[ZeroApprovalGambit social suicide acts]] to achieve his goals for the Service Club, which could left devastated if it's made by anyone else, but he doesn't affect a bit... except when he sees the collateral damage he makes to [[FireForgedFriends Yukino and Yui]] everytime he does this in the series, which makes him question his own methods for first time.

** Immediately following the previous example, Haruno then asks Hayato he remembers Yukino giving him chocolates. Yukino, Yumiko and Iroha then also have the shocked expression as well. Yukino, who didn't catch Hachiman furrowing his brow at the thought, glances at him as Hayato clarifies that Yukino gave it to him and Haruno before grade school started.

There are two manga adaptations -- one subtitled ''Monologue'', which adapts the anime, and one subtitled ''@comic'', which adapts the light novels. Both the original light novels and ''@comic'' have been licensed by Creator/YenPress. There is also a {{yonkoma}} manga and two games for the UsefulNotes/PlayStationVita.

The series was adapted into an {{anime}}, localized as ''My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU''[[note]]SNAFU is a military slang term for Situation Normal: All Fucked/Fouled Up[[/note]], that aired during spring of 2013. A second season titled ''My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU [[ExcitedShowTitle Too!]]'' aired in 2015. A third season, ''My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Climax'', aired in 2020. In April 2019, Creator/SentaiFilmworks announced that the series would be getting an English dub.

** To start with, Hachiman constantly references anime, manga and games in his narrations, from popular to rather obscure, from decades old to currently ongoing and for all the audiences. As a specific example, one of Hachiman's opening monologues references the anime ''Anime/SCryed''. His teacher, Hiratsuka, counters this by punching him square in the gut and tells him to shut it unless he wants to face the might of her "Annihilating Second Bullet", a power used by one of ''S-CRY-ed'' protagonists.

*** While the girls are trying on outfits that look like something out of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' or ''LightNovel/TheSacredBlacksmith'', Zaimokuza is behind them trying on a [[Manga/YuYuHakusho Hien]] outfit.

* FourPhilosophyEnsemble / FivePhilosophyEnsemble: Hachiman and the dynamics he could form in groups could fit this.

* HilariousInHindsight / DramaticIrony: In-universe example during episode 3. When Yukino tries to think of the way Hachiman can improve a group of people, she decides that the only possible solution is the "common enemy" strategy. In the culture fair arc, Hachiman does exactly that.

* DysfunctionJunction: The Service Club. Two cynical and brutally honest social outcasts combined with a cheery yet somewhat gullible girl to counterbalance them (with a varying degree of success), led by a ChristmasCake club advisor with severe love life issues.

** Then, not including Hachiman, there are the most recurring female characters besides Yui, Yukino and Iroha: Komachi is the Optimist - the energetic, cheerful and friendly little sister who is kind, helpful and emotionally considerate; Haruno is TheCynic - the overly teasing older sister who gives good advice through mischievous comments and a somewhat antagonistic attitude, and is quite emotionally inconsiderate; Saki is the Realist - a grounded, pratical girl who works hard to help her family; Yumiko is the Apathetic - an AlphaBitch and pretty much concerned only with her popularity and social status, and Shizuka is the Conflicted - while friendly and generally with a positive attitude, she's short-tempered and touchy, and often suffers inner conflict because of her ChristmasCake status and several quirks.

* ChristmasCake: Hiratsuka-sensei, a BerserkButton of hers which Hachiman presses both indadvertedly and just for the sake of it. [[CorporalPunishment Don't try to repeat that]].

** In a strange example, Hachiman eventually becomes in this during his time in the Service Club, not just with the other students who help with the Club (now seen as a MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold and even [[ChickMagnet gaining the sympathy of the girls outside the Club]]), but with his own FireForgedFriends ([[SenpaiKouhai Iroha included]]) who meet his real self, a lonely guy who [[IJustWantToHaveFriends wants something genuine]]. In all these cases, his efforts to improve their lives with the Club defrost his image of loner and show them as a good person... at the point that [[TheAce Hayato]] feels inferior compared to Hachiman.

** First with Hikigaya siblings, Hachiman and Komachi. The former isn't exactly ugly or feared by everyone else, but Komachi certainly is a cutie that has nothing to do with his brother, but Hachiman has a BigBrotherInstinct over her, also inherited to [[ReiAyanamiExpy Ruri Tsurumi]] and [[SenpaiKouhai Iroha Isshiki]].

''My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, as I Expected'' (やはり俺の青春ラブコメはまちがっている。-- ''Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru''), often abbreviated as ''[=OreGairu=]'' because of its [[LongTitle lengthy title]], is a 14 volume series of {{Light Novel}}s written by Wataru Watari.

* CryCute:
** Yui at the end of episode 5 after Hachiman says some rather mean things to her.
** [[spoiler: When they decide about the right thing to do and what they have become, Yui and Yukino both cry together.]]
** Komachi when she graduates and goes to high school.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Zaimokuza bases his delusions of being a Samurai around one famous Shogun from Sengoku Period, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who has the same first name as him. Hachiman's name is not to be taken lightly either since his is the same with ''The Great Bodhisattva Hachiman''.

* PantyShot:
** Hachiman gets one of Yumiko's in episode 4 of season 2, after she trips on the boots she was trying on. After the view, he hightails it out of there with Hayato before Yumiko can get up.
** And don't forget that one Hachiman gets from Saki in one of the first encounters they have in first LN volumes and in season 1 of anime, the scene in the rooftop

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: In Episode 13, with ''ideas for sports festival''. Turns out a simple bun eating contest may offend those who prefer rice.

** Hachiman, in episode 8 notes how just like people with [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Stands]] are drawn to each other so too can lonely people notice one-another.
** In episode 4, while using "The Zone," Hayato is posed in a similar fashion as [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Giorno]]; the equivalent scene from the @comic manga has him doing Dio's famous pose atop a steamroller. The same page has Hayato dressed as Takuto from ''Anime/StarDriver'', whose outfit is inspired by the ''The Little Prince''; when the class stages ''The Little Prince'' as a play during the school festival, Hayato is initially cast in the titular role.
** Episode 13 is chock full of this, and a lot of them come from [[Creator/NobuyukiHiyama Zaimokuza]] too:

** This is what Hayato's famous for, in addition to his other qualities. This perception isn't exactly wrong, but it's not as simple or as honest as Yui's genuine care.

*** He also does this rather harshly to Sagami after the latter disappears before the closing ceremony for the school festival in episode 12. His brutalness is so bad[[note]] He tells her that she was deliberately hoping to be discovered. Yet Hachiman found her first despite not caring about her at all, asking her how serious the others were in trying to find her in the first place[[/note]] that Hayato, the usual NiceGuy, does a WhatTheHellHero moment on him, if nothing else, to stop him tearing her character down more.

** Then, not including Hachiman, there are the most recurring female characters besides Yui, Yukino and Iroha: Komachi is the Optimist - the energetic, cheerful and friendly little sister who is kind, helpful and emotionally considerate; Haruno is TheCynic - the overly teasing older sister who gives good advice through mischievous comments and a somewhat antagonistic attitude, and is quite emotionally inconsiderate; Saki is the Realist - a grounded, pratical girl who works hard to help her fmily; Yumiko is the Apathetic - an AlphaBitch and pretty much concerned only with her popularity and social status, and Shizuka is the Conflicted - while friendly and generally with a positive attitude, she's short-tempered and touchy, and often suffers inner conflict because of her ChristmasCake status and several quirks.

* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: Hachiman is TheCynic, Yukino is [[{{Realism}} The Realist]], Yui is [[ThePollyanna The Optimist]] (Saika as well), and Yoshiteru is [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} The Apathetic]]. [[BrokenAce The Conflicted]] is Hayato.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Hachiman and Yukino are melancholic, Yui is sanguine, Saika is phlegmatic and Shizuka is somewhat choleric. Hayato counts as the eclectic.

** Yui is the counter balance for Hikki and Yukinon's cynicism.
** Later in the novel and the second season of anime, Iroha.

** To start with, Hachiman constantly references anime, manga and games in his narrations, from popular to rather obscure, from decades old to currently ongoing and for all the audiences. As a specific example, one of Hachiman's opening monologues references the anime ''Anime/SCryed''. His teacher, Hiratsuka, counters this by punching square in the gut and tells him to shut it unless he wants to face the might of her "Annihilating Second Bullet", a power used by one of ''S-CRY-ed'' protagonists.

** In episode 4, while using "The Zone," Hayato is posed in a similar fashion as [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Giorno]].

** Yukino is likely a world class beauty as she is described as a "peerless beauty" and according to her the majority of males were infatuated with her from her looks alone in the past.
** Yui is likely a common beauty. Because she and Yukino have similar facial features but no one has commented on her appearance so far.
** If the Hikigaya siblings are right, Hachiman is pretty good looking, like how Yui comments on how handsome Hachiman was when he tried the glasses he bought for Yukino for her birthday in volume 10. He would fall under imperfect beauty because his "fish eyes" and "gross disposition" counteract his decent looks in contrast to his counterpart, Hayato Hayama, who is probably at least a common beauty. If they're wrong, Hachiman probably is Flawed Average on the scale.

** Later on, though, Hachiman and Yukino defrost.
