   	Is now published in the USA by Seven Seas.   
   	Art is by Itachi and the story from a light novel   
   by Yomi Hirasaka.  $12.99 at Kinokuniya's manga shop in   
   San Francisco's Nihon Machi.   
      
   	I had read most of this online and got the manga   
   to see what they did with it.  It is pretty good.   
   	The subtitle sums up the story, some rather   
   unappealing girls and by the end a couple of boys form   
   the Neighbors Club to try to help them learn how to make   
   friends.   
   	One is so lonely that in High School she is still   
   talking to an imaginary (air) friend.  The first boy is   
   half foreigner and has blond hair which leads to the   
   common assumption of bleaching to appear tough.  2nd   
   Girl is overly talented and occupies a very privileged   
   position.  Next boy is small and effeminate and is   
   ostracised by the males of his own class.   
      
   	The girls share really bad attitudes but there   
   their agreement ends.  The 2nd boy thinks the 1st is   
   a tough guy and wants to learn to be like him,   
      
   	So lot'sa opportunities for laughs are at   
   hand.  Maybe if you haven't got many friends or   
   were in that situation at some point in your   
   younger life you might try to get a laugh about   
   it.
