Did you know that Chu-2 is based off a light novel? I certainly did not until a bit ago. I almost assuredly thought it was KyoAni original, and there is a good reason why.

The light novel series of Love, Chunibyou, and Other Delusions is actually quite short, but the anime only adapts the first novel before moving into original material. As stated by the creators, the light novel didn’t have enough interesting material to adapt, so they took bits and pieces from the source, and created characters like Kumin and Dekomori to fill the rest.
In essence, they stated that they took “everything entertaining” from the source, which doesn’t bode well for people who want to start reading the light novel at Novel 2 where the anime leaves off. However, because it doesn’t feature some characters, reading it is a wholly different experience.
