About Oregairu
The series is based on the light novel by Wataru Watari, published under Gagaga Bunko. It follows Hikigaya Hachiman, a high school boy forced to join the Service Club, where he interacts with the sharp-tongued Yukinoshita Yukino and the class gal Yuigahama Yui. The TV anime aired its first season in April 2013, followed by the second season “Oregairu. Zoku” in April 2015, and the third season “Oregairu. Kan” in July 2020. A 10th anniversary project is currently underway.
