Rika Shiguma is a main supporting character from the Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai series, a freshman and scientific genius whose presence at St. Chronica's Academy was designed to increase its prestige. She was saved by Kodaka when she fell unconscious during a disastrous lab experiment (she invented and released sleeping gas that works in just a few seconds), and begs to repay his kindness with sex. She joined the Neighbor's Club just to get closer to him. She is the fifth member of the club. Rika was a shut-in before joining, being isolated from the outside world her personal room in the school, she prefers the life of a loner like Yozora and like her, is extremely anti-social. 

As a fujoshi, she is a passionate consumer of BL dōjinshi and magazines, is comically aroused by intercourse between mecha, and is delighted when Yukimura offers to have sex with Kodaka.  Although there are many adult themes in the series, she is the most sexually forward member. This was clearly highlighted in her first speaking appearance when she described the attractions of rape to Kodaka in the middle of a stunned class. She has a habit of inserting any sexual innuendo possible in her sentences, to the point where she finds it normal to convert every innocent thought into something perverted. Rika is proud of her pervertedness, as she says that she would be a boring person if people only thought of her as a genius girl. To compound her eccentricity, she speaks in the third person.    

She also greatly enjoys BL-related media, mostly H-games and novels, to the point of watching one in front of everyone and fantasizing about Kodaka with Yukimura (before Yukimura was revealed to be female). Despite her perverseness, Rika is shown to be very caring towards her club-mates as she is very sensitive to everyone's well-being and is almost always depicted in high-spirits. She is quite pestered by the fact that her club-mates usually feign ignorance about their already-established friendship by claiming that they are still friendless and view each other only as club-mates, especially Kodaka.

Rika seems to delight in shocking others with her forwardness, especially the unflappable Kodaka. His casual manner of dismissing her advances becomes a major source of frustration for her, however. Throughout the series, he responds increasingly cooly to Rika's attempts to get his attention, to which she is visibly disappointed. While Rika enjoys shocking others she is easily overwhelmed when any sort of genuine affection is leveled at her, and usually blushes intensely when receiving it.

Despite her sporadic persona, Rika is perhaps the most dedicated member in terms of achieving the club’s intended goal to make friends. Unbeknownst to the other characters, except for Kodaka, she puts forth a tremendous amount of effort behind the scenes to make some club activities, such as the VR game and club film, an enjoyable experience for everyone.

In Volume 7, ~!it was made clear that she's surprisingly the one who knows the most about Kodaka's feelings; seeing that he was just playing ignorant to their feelings despite fully well knowing them; as well as knowing his reasoning for doing so!~   
In Volume 8, ~!Rika agrees to be Kodaka's friend, making him the first friend she's ever got in her entire life.!~

Hasegawa Kodaka has transferred schools, and he's having a hard time making friends. It doesn't help that his blond hair tends to make people think he's a delinquent. One day, he runs into his bad-tempered solitary classmate Yozora while she's talking animatedly to her imaginary friend Tomo. Realizing that neither of them have any actual friends, they decide that the best way to alter this situation is to form a club and start recruiting. 
That is how "Rinjinbu", The Neighbours' Club, was formed, a club specifically designed for people who don't have very many friends. As other lonely classmates slowly join their little club, they'll try to learn how to build friendships through cooking together, playing games, and other group activities. But will this group of relationship-challenged misfits really be able to get along?

Unaired 13th episode of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai.

Recent high school transfer student Hasegawa Kodaka is pathetically inept at making friends. Kodaka is an outcast, with his natural blonde hair which he inherited from his deceased English mother, and his unpleasant, fierce gaze. When he comes across the brash loner Mikazuki Yozora, who typically chats with her imaginary friend, the two outsiders become the unlikeliest of allies.
 
Realizing that they have no hope of a normal social life, the two rejects decide to form a group called “The Neighbors Club” in order to make friends and maybe even learn a thing or two about social skills. As luck would have it, five new members join the club who are more socially awkward than they are. Will these quirky misfits ever make normal friends, or are they all doomed to social failure?

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Shobo-n! is a spin-off comic series written by Kazehana Chiruwo and illustrated by Shirabi. It's a collection of oneshots focusing on the members of the Neighbor's Club and their relationships with each other.
 
Welcome to the Neighbors Club! Pull up a chair! Have a soda… or is that a love potion? Just don’t get too comfortable, because the club is up to their usual shenanigans. You never know when you’ll find them engaged in questionable conversation about fetishes, or running a three-legged race to win the attention of the club’s unwilling “harem master,” or sharing a moment of bonding in the school bathroom. Whatever the event, you can count on the Neighbors Club to march to the beat of a different drummer. This spinoff collection of short stories continues their misadventures and misunderstandings like never before, in their ongoing mission to try — and fail! — to make friends.

The successor of Shobon, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Hiyori is a collection of oneshots about the Neighbor's Club's activities.
 
Through their adventures and misadventures, the Neighbors Club has become a tight-knit group of… what’s that word? People who hang out together, laugh and cry together, bond over their own ridiculous in-jokes, squabble, and plan nonevents. Not “friends” if these misfits could make friends, why would they be in the club in the first place? Or so they think! It seems outsiders may see things very differently. With no normal friends in sight, the club members continue to band together for both special and mundane occasions, whether it’s choosing Halloween costumes, making the first shrine visit of the new year, helping each other find work, or simply trying to recruit new members. There could even be a duel or two in store with this bunch, anything can happen!

The characters from both Haganai and Seitokai no Ichizon visit each others' clubroom in this two-part crossover. Strangely enough, the male protagonists from each manga do not make appearances. 
Chapter One: 
The Neighbor's Club gets a mysterious message from a certain student council! This chapter was drawn by Itachi, the artist of the Haganai manga. 
Chapter Two: 
The Hekiyou Gakuen student council receives an invitation from the Neighbor's Club to visit. This chapter was drawn by 10mo, the artist of the Seitokai no Ichizon manga.
