The game adapts Yomi Hirasaka's Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai romantic comedy light novels which is also inspiring a television anime. In the story, Kodaka Hasegawa is a half-Japanese/half-British transfer student whose delinquent-like blonde hair scares people, while Yozora Mikazuki is a seemingly perpetually sullen girl. The two decide to form Rinjinbu, a club for people with hardly any friends.
