Meh. So I read this in high school initially and loved it. Wanted to reread it to see if it hold up. Very meh. Not bad but not great either. I'm thinking it's because vol 1 is so focused on character introduction and exposition with nothing really happening except for Tamaki being annoying AF (twins as well a bit). Hoping it mellows out soon.

Tamaki you are so adorable ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Also move over Fred and George Weasley...Karou and Hikaru are here 😍😍

I adore this entire series. So funny, fast-paced, insane - and yet tons of heart & character development.

-(tamaki blushing at haruhis compliment ehehehhe)
- hey! we’re not villains!! we’re swell guys!! 😢
-get a grip, lord lame-brain 💀💀💀

What a delight it was to read this! Ouran High School Host Club was one of the first animes I truly loved, with our non-binary king Haruhi “I don’t give a fuck about gender” Fujioka. She was one of my first queer role models as a weird, gender non-conforming kid, and so it was amazing to revisit this story in manga format. It’s funny and light-hearted, but also warms my heart so many times. I specially like how, amid the jokes and funny moments, it manages to convey moments of sincerity and true emotional bonding with a few looks. Also, I love how Tamaki is just. Immediately whipped.
