This was a fun bit of nostalgia. I loved how the anime did the first big reveal, so I'm kind of sad by how anti-climatic the reveal is in the manga. But I also loved finding all the little differences and getting to know these characters again, differently. The bonus stories and authors notes were a fun addition, and I'm always happy that we get to know the author through their stories as well with manga!

I needed a silly little read and Ouran delivered - I'm excited to continue through the manga and see the story beyond what the anime showed!

I remember reading this volume (the only one of this series I had at the time) over and over again. It's still very cute! I can see why it was so popular. Hatori's asides and commentary were really interesting too. I forgot how charming Haruhi and Tamaki are.

First manga I’ve ever read!!!

This manga was pretty good ohshc is the first anime I’ve actually ever watched so I was very curious about how the manga was and it was pretty good. There were some differences in the manga that I didn’t see in the anime, but it was really good for the first manga that I’ve ever read.

The art style was weird at first since I looks different then the show but by the end I was use to it and I love this series so much

4.5★ for nostalgia

I found it hard to read the comic online. I'll have to buy it physically one day
