Volume 1 - 1st printing.

Written by Wataru Watari. Art and cover by Ponkan 8. Translated by Jennifer Ward.

Hachiman Hikigaya is a cynic. "Youth" is a crock, he believes--a sucker's game, an illusion woven from failure and hypocrisy. But when he turns in an essay for a school assignment espousing this view, he's sentenced to work in the Service Club, an organization dedicated to helping students with problems in their lives! How will Hachiman the Cynic cope with a job that requires--gasp!--optimism?

Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 240 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations).

Volume 2 - 1st printing.

Written by Wataru Watari. Art and cover by Ponkan 8. Translated by Jennifer Ward.

Hachiman Hikigaya's life has changed little since being forced to join the Service Club. Sure, he now spends his time after school in the company of the icy Yukino Yukinoshita and bubbly airhead Yui Yuigahama, but his warped personality still ensures that he won't wring a moment's enjoyment from his insufferable school life. When someone starts trolling his class with hateful e-mails, though, and the Service Club is enlisted to help solve the case, Hachiman's "unique" perspective as an outsider might finally come in handy...or he could still just be a loser.

Volume 3 - 1st printing.

Written by Wataru Watari. Art and cover by Ponkan 8. Translated by Jennifer Ward.

Nothing ever changes. No friends, no girlfriends - nothing but a solitary life at school. So why is Hachiman so uncomfortable? Maybe it's the fact that their club room is one girl short. There's no way Yukino and Hachiman can solve the problems born from this chain of misunderstandings. The bittersweet time with Totsuka, preparing for battle with Zaimokuza, a secret side of Ms. Hiratsuka... and strip poker? Surrounded by characters sprinting headlong in the wrong direction, will the club ever return to normal?

Volume 4 - 1st printing.

Written by Wataru Watari. Art and cover by Ponkan 8. Translated by Jennifer Ward.

One of the bestselling light novel franchises in Japan brings high school cynicism face-to-face with youthful enthusiasm in this bittersweet comedy of errors! It's summer break, and Hachiman is continuing his leisurely life of solitude-until Miss Hiratsuka forces the Service Club back together to volunteer at a campground. For some reason, Hayama, Miura, and their crew of normies are there, too... Thus begins a compulsory, youthful season of fireworks, tests of courage, nighttime conversations, and bathhouse incidents, with no escape for Hachiman. Summer is indeed a minefield for the loner...

Not only that, but Totsuka has an invitation for him, as well as a request from a classmate--he even runs into Yukino's sister at the fireworks festival!
