Plot Summary
Hasegawa Kodaka is a recent transfer student to St. Chronica's Academy, a Catholic high school. As with every other school he has ever attended, he finds it difficult to make friends there because of his naturally-blond hair and fierce-looking eyes, which make him look like a dangerous "yankee" to his prejudiced schoolmates. One day, Kodaka accidentally comes across the equally solitary and very abrasive Yozora Mikazuki while she converses with her imaginary friend Tomo. Realizing that neither of them have any social lives, they decide that the best way to improve their situation is to form a club: the Neighbor's Club precisely intended to make friends and learn social skills.

The Review
I started watching this anime without knowing it was by the same person who did "My little sister can't possibly be this cute". I was surprised and happy to see them appear in the background of one of the episodes. It makes me wanna rewatch it to see if any of these characters appear in that anime.
The show is pretty entertaining for what it is. You basically have a group of misfits who join the same club. The club's purpose is to learn how to make friends. Of course non of the club members realize that they are becoming friends while trying to learn how to make friends. It's kinda cute in it's social awkward way.
I enjoy that the main character isn't a huge pussy. He's the usual over nice stereotype, but for the most part he says what's on his mind. They need more characters like this in anime.
I'm sad to announce that there is no information on a second season. This could be it, but if it gets popular enough there could be a second season. Lately, there seems to be more anime companies willing to do a second (or sometimes third) season to help wrap up the plot. I'm glad they are finally starting to appeal to the fans and not their pockets.
