Yomi Hirasaka had been working on , which consisted of short stories about everyday life. In developing "Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai", or "Haganai" for short, Hirasaka contrasts the main characters as opposites of the ones in the "Light Novel Club" which had good relationships to begin with. Hirasaka drew influences from personal experience: "This novel is a story about myself who also had few friends, bad communication skills, negative thinking, lacking life experiences and useless delusional habits." Hirasaka also considers the setting of the stories to be less restrictive.
The anime was directed by Hisashi Saito, who had previously directed the fan service romantic comedy "Heaven's Lost Property". Hirasaka noted that Itachi's portrayal of the characters in the manga are "all so cute" and "their faces are full of life", especially the expressions of the heroines Yozora and Sena.
