About this deal

If you've never read a manga before, if you're thinking this is just for kids, I dare you to try Ouran High School Host Club.

OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB GN BOX SET: Volumes 1-18 with

This Ouran High School Host Club Manga Box Set contains volumes 1-18 plus an exclusive memo pad and features story and art by Bisco Hatori. In contrast to the exaggerated personalities of the Host Club, commoner protagonist Haruhi Fujioka has a refreshing pragmatism that plays hilariously with her wealthy male counterparts. Haruhi is honestly an inspiration. Her apathy, bluntness and disregard for gender all subvert the typical passive role of a shoujo heroine. She is the one who centres this reverse harem story on friendship as opposed to romance.Though Ouran High School Host Club is a ridiculous story full of ego and cosplay, attractive guys and archetypes, all of it is built around a big, beautiful heart— the unparalleled power of friendship. Most of the members of the host club begin as stereotypes, or at the very least, archetypes– you have the silly and stupid Tamaki, the mischievous twins named Hikarou and Karou, Kyouya who is a glasses-wearing guy that is always scheming, the stoic and silent Mori, and the childish, immature Hunny (whose size fits his personality very well). You can pretty much describe their personalities with two words maximum. Which could have been extremely grating on the nerves, but the characters are all just so fun and cuddly that you absolutely love them anyways.

But the author is well aware of this, and actually plays with it sometimes when the characters hmm... what's the word? not like break the fourth wall, but are... self-aware? "Dude, go reread the previous episode" kind of type. The kind of thing, while usually being silly, never fails to make me laugh. This manga is so much better than its description will have you believe. Yes, it has a tad bit of shoujo clichés, but there are a lot of elements that are different. It is hilarious in the beginning. Somewhere in the middle, the humour starts to fade and the plot drags on. Towards the end, there is some drama, but it's not the kind that makes your eyes roll, it's the kind that makes you look forward to how the story will end. I had wanted to watch the anime for a while, but every time I tried to, I hated it. It made no sense to me, and I thought it was stupid. Nonetheless, I still kept on trying to get past the 1st episode, even though the same results appeared each time. ( ̄▽ ̄) On the 6th try, however, I finally liked it. And I thought it was funny. I believe this was around end of May/beginning of June 2021. And then I fell in love with the anime and got pissed at the ending, even though I swore not to.

Hatori’s art is nothing to write home about in the beginning. To be honest, since I watched the anime first, I was a little underwhelmed by it. But her art soon becomes quite astounding as it evolves. There is more clarity, the characters looks gorgeous (well, not when they are going all chibi on you, but yeah), and it is all-around fun to look at. These goofy dynamics are wonderful enough as is, but then Hatori hits you with CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. And OH MAN. The way Hatori deconstructs and develops her characters over the course of the story adds such incredible depth to the story. Suddenly a story that you were compelled to read by the hot guys becomes a story about an unparalleled friendship, unequivocal support and natural banter. There were countless moments where I was reduced to tears by the strength of their character development, some of which hit so close to home. By the end of the series, the maturity of her characters blew me away.

Despite its flaws and all, this is a story that has been with me for 10 years, since the day I started watching the anime (which I rewatched at least 3 times before finally buying and reading the manga), and that will forever stay close to my heart. Have you ever found that one group of friends you would consider family? That group of people who amuse, inspire, and exasperate you on a daily basis? When you’re with them…it’s like being at home. Despite the odds, these people, these insane people, found you, chose you, and put in the effort to understand you. They’re the ones who chip away at your apathy, your loneliness, your fears, your insecurities. See y'all in the next Shojo! (◕‿◕) (I just found out the difference between Shojo and Shonen. While I do prefer Shojo, I find the way they're targeted kinda sexist- \( ̄▽ ̄)/).Her short hair, slouching attire, and androgynous face cause her to be mistaken by the Hosts for a male student, though they soon realize her actual gender and the fact that she's a "natural" in entertaining girls, promoting her to full-Host status against her will, all while jealously guarding the fact that she's in fact a girl; "their" girl. Great story, cute art, smut free (not a plus for all, but hey...) and marvelously entertaining. The second manga to make it to my exclusive 6 stars shelf. Okay, history time over. This is one of those few series that made me feel some sort emotion that cannot be explained. It's a mix of several classic emotions, like happiness, anger, sadness, and more. And when I feel that type of emotion over something, then that means that I love it. This series was amazing, and even if I hated some chapters and/or volumes, I will continue to read Ouran over and over again. It is definitely one of the best series I've ever read. I mean, it has a bunch of obvious flaws, but the charisma of the characters (and the fun and stupid situations) makes you look past these issues.
