It's been a month since the misfits of the Neighbors Club joined forces to make friends, but now it's summer break and not one of them has had a shred of success. Rather than face the summer alone, the club heads out to the pool, where they can beat the heat and hang out together as practice for when they have real friends. What could possibly go wrong?

The antisocial members of the Neighbors Club waste their time playing bishoujo games, playacting, and getting into arguments about the geekiest things. Yet somehow they've managed to add seven members to their pathetic ranks. Whether it's writing a round robin short story together - a seemingly innocent affair until someone goes berserk - or taking things too far in an MMORPG, these freaks take their fantasy seriously. But can a group of people so alienated from the rest of the world really make friends with each?

The geeks shall inherit the earth in this New York Times best-selling series! This is the fifth volume of an ongoing manga series that is sure to appeal to today's manga fans in the same way The Big Bang Theory appeals to geeks. It's been a month since the misfits of the Neighbors Club joined forces to make friends, but now it's summer break and not one of them has had a shred of success. Rather than face summer alone, the club heads out to the pool, where they can beat the heat and hang out together as practice for when they have real friends. What could possibly go wrong?

The eternal rivals Sena and Yozora face off on the basketball court, where Sena dominates all other players with her power, speed, and technique. What does Yozora have up her sleeve in this fight? When Christmas Eve arrives and the club members attend a school holiday party, they each have their own hopes about how things will unfold...but the events that await are even harsher than they might imagine.

Kodaka's life hasn't been easy since joining the Neighbors Club. Getting dragged into a conversation by another strange nun was the last thing he needed. Then again, her advice seemed sound, until he discovered she was seriously twisted. Now her close ties to another member of the club will make it even harder for Kodaka to escape her. At this point, however, Kodaka is used to not being in control of his destiny. Whether it's studying with Sena (and discovering an unnatural obsession!), or having Maria invade his home to fight with Kobato, Kodaka's learned to go with the flow. Of course, this may not be the best approach to life, especially when it seems like other people are calling the shots for him!

Kobato's birthday is coming up, so what better excuse for a party? For the Neighbors Club, a group of socially-inept students with no clue how to make friends, it's an opportunity for a practice party so they'll know how to behave when they go to a real party... someday. Of course, a party calls for presents, so it's time for a group shopping trip! Kodaka comes along to help the girls shop, but what our favorite misfits will come back with is anybody's guess. Also on the horizon is the school festival, an opportunity for clubs to strut their stuff! The question is, how does a dysfunctional group like the Neighbors Club come up with a single idea that will appeal to anyone but themselves?

The Neighbors Club may be a group of friendless misfits who can't get the hang of socializing despite their best efforts, but at least they have each other to practice on! Sena's continued attempts to make Kobato love her result in the entire club taking an outing to an amusement park, where they turn a death-defying roller coaster into a competition, while eating curry and... getting kidnapped by demons?! But there's more going on at the club these days than meets the eye. One of the girls has a surprise in store for everyone - including herself! And when Kodaka challenges Rika to make a truly impressive invention, the skeleton he and Yozora have been hiding may not stay in the closet for long!
