Hatori’s artwork, particularly with the characters, looks more realistic. Shoujo manga (targeted at a young female audience) has a general art style with some variation between the illustrators. Like any good series, events from previous episodes tie everything together so there is a noticeable timeline. Since it is a comedy that probably won’t end for an indeterminate period, this helps keep everything organized and make sense. I like that each episode, or chapter, has its own plot. On top of that, the antics and sweeping-Haruhi-off-her-feet attempts add to the humor. The premise of a scholarship student winding up in a lot of debt by accident is plausible. I also like that the back of the book lists the characters and provides their descriptions. All the boys have romantic interest in Haruhi. The other members of the Host Club are the Hitachiin twins, Kyoya, Honey and Mori. Then there’s Tamaki, king of the Host Club, who woos the ladies with his charm, but he is a goofball who sulks in a corner when is ego is shot. First, there’s Haruhi the scholarship student who is mistaken for a boy. Hatori introduced the characters through a stereotypical lens and carefully peeled it back at appropriate moments to show who they really are. Once again, TV shows and movie adaptations cannot be trusted to match the books perfectly, but I could hear the characters’ voices when I read their speech bubbles. I found that this volume was the basis for the anime’s first, second, fourth and part of the twelfth episodes. Ouran High School Host Club, Volume 1 by Bisco Hatori, made me laugh as much as its anime.Īfter watching the entire anime series, I decided to borrow the manga from the library and find out how closely the anime matches it.
As Haruhi deals with the guys’ feelings for her, she also learns more about them and their world. What would normally be a special form of hell turns into a romantic comedy. In order to pay back the damages, she must become a host and work off her debt.
While trying to escape, she’s mistaken for a boy and breaks an expensive vase. Instead she finds the school’s popular host club, where boys with too much time on their hands entertain girls with too much time on their hands. Haruhi Fujioka, a student at the exclusive and prestigious Ouran High School, stumbles into Music Room 3, seeking a quiet place to study. Series: Ouran High School Host Club, Vol.
