I quite enjoyed this volume, however, I'm not sure yet if I might prefer the Anime. Either way, I'm still going to finish the series, because I want to see what the Anime never got to.

I'm slowly picking up manga recommended by a good friend. This is a series that I watched part of the anime, so I was some what familiar with the story, which was extremely helpful. This story is way out of my comfort zone and I keep having to remind myself to suspend belief. I'll continue on in hopes that I settle into the story.
I'm already loving this! Can't wait to see all the differences between the anime and manga.

I did not particularly like this. I am sure part of it may be that I am not the right demographic for this; the book is part of the Shojo Beat series, which is meant for teen girls. But for me, the main issue is that this light school comedy is a bit difficult to read and follow. The panels are extremely cluttered with text for one. Two, the plot is light, and to be honest, not handled the best way. The premise is a girl on scholarship in a very high fancy high school. She has to work a debt for a school club made up of the richest kids in the school. The club members basically amuse themselves at her expense, by the way, mistaking her initially for a boy. Now, the mistaken identity thing is fairly common plot element in this type of manga. But I think this particular series tries to jam a bit too much in. Add to it that, to be honest, the pace is not really that great either. While I can see the appeal factors, this is not a series I would continue reading. I found it a bit boring after a while.
Ouran High School Host Club is a fun read all around. I love how The Host Club "boys" all interact with each other and Tamaki's crazy ideas/antics - it really feels like a warm welcoming family. I think I share the popular opinion of if I was ever in a similar position as Haruhi I wouldn't mind one bit.
I read this for the 2019's Reading Rush.
