06:21is emphasized until the very end.
06:23The entire plot revolves around isolated characters seeking social connection.
06:29In the end, Kodaka sums up this theme.
06:32Even though I don't have many friends, he does have them.
06:36And that's what matters.
06:37This phrase sums up the evolution.
06:40The protagonist stops seeing himself as helpless and recognizes the value of the bonds he has forged.
06:46The author reinforces the idea that the goal was never to form a romantic harem,
06:51but to learn to trust and support each other.
06:54As highlighted in the novel's closing comments,
06:57The purpose was to make friends, not to develop a harem.

07:30the ending of Haginai is consistent with its original tone,
07:34although unexpected for those who were hoping for a definitive romance.
07:38Throughout the series, there were romantic tensions,
07:41but it was always remembered that the club was formed so that no one would be alone.
