I was initially wondering where Hamaguchi is in the Camping Trip episode
S02E07

[![enter image description

Notice we see the pairs / groups:

  1. Takagi x Nishikata
  2. Mano x Nakai
  3. Mina, Yukari, Sanae
  4. Kimura, Takao
  5. Hell we can see 6 named characters in the front row all together: Mina, Yukari, Sanae, Kimura, Takao and Tanabe-sensei.

And then Houjou's not with anyone we know.

I checked the [fandom](https://karakai-jouzu-no-takagi-
san.fandom.com/wiki/Hamaguchi) / wikia and apparently **all the main or
supporting student characters but Hamaguchi are in the same class**.

**Question** : What's up with this? What's the difference to the plot if
Hamaguchi is in their class?

You might argue Hamaguchi is a character introduced only later in (the manga
equivalent of) s2, specifically S02E01, and thus is in a different class to
avoid plot inconsistencies like 'Where was Hamaguchi during event X in s1?'
But this doesn't explain Houjou who was also introduced only in s2,
specifically S02E04.

What's up with Hamaguchi's being in a different class?


Partial answer:

I'm not sure the plot changes much, but this is relevant for a minor joke in
S03E06 where each class does their own thing for the culture / cultural
festival.

> Houjou talks about dropping by Hamaguchi's class.

> Hamaguchi doesn't want this. But Houjou goes anyway:

Again, this is a just minor joke, not really relevant to the plot at least
anime-wise. Hence, this is just a partial answer.

Partial answer:

Actually in the same episode, there are 2 Houjou x Hamaguchi things. I'm not
too sure of the details here. Maybe there's more in the manga.

1

Nakai comments about how Hamaguchi's food is cut differently or something.

They are [in the same folk
dance](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/67639/why-are-houjou-and-
hamaguchi-in-the-same-folk-dance-when-theyre-in-different-cl) despite that
they are in different classes.

As with my 1st answer, I don't think these are very relevant to the plot at
least anime-wise. Hence, this is just a partial answer.
