A review by mehsi
Ouran High School Host Club, Vol. 1 by Bisco Hatori
5.0
2020 reread. I don't know... I still love this series, but something changed for me. I am just not a big fan of Haruhi in this one. She has some stuff that are just grating on me, probably also thanks to getting exposed to Twitter. And come on, the twins licked you on your fricking face and you are being pissed at Tamaki? Girl, please. No.
Tamaki also annoys me greatly, then again, he already did but I feel it was worse this time round. I still loved the others in the host club, and I find it hilarious that money is just thrown around like it is nothing. Really, these kids have fabulous parties, endless costume changes, and more. At times I wonder if they even study sometime or if they just keep on going. I had a laugh at the dynamics in the group and how it shifted with the addition of Haruhi.
Not sure if I will continue, don't want to be frustrated with this series, I want to remember it as that I loved it.

Re-read, might re-read the whole series again. :)
I decided to re-read this series since it has been quite a long time since I last read this series. And I really loved it back when I read it. :)
I still love it, however I notice that I still know quite a few scenes/what happens even after 7/8 years.
Haruhi, Tamaki and all the others are still wonderful and I was really happy to see them again. My favourite character is still Haruhi though, she is a wonderful girl (and so often mistaken for a boy) and she knows how to keep Tamaki in check (which in turn gives hilarious situations).
Though I already know who she is going to end up with, I will still cheer for her and that person throughout the manga.
Tamaki, he is and was still the one character that I at times just wanted to strangle. Saying Haruhi is his daughter is fun a few times, but just gets annoying after a while. I know there is a more serious Tamaki hidden beneath all those jokes/jester/idiocy and I just wish we could see that one more.
The other guys are just like it was before, swoon-worthy and great and I love seeing them in their various outfits.
Well I would recommend this manga to anyone seeking a nice shoujo/comedy/school/romance manga. It spans 18 volumes, but you will enjoy them all. Believe me.
I won't be writing a review for every manga volume. I probably will only write another review for the last volume.
