A great manga...but a teeny bit disappointed

Rating: N/A

I don't know if it was because of the slow updates that made me forget the joy i had when i formerly read this but the ending didn't send shivers up my spine like the rest of the series did and i'm also not sure about why people haven't been commenting on the style change that hitori-sensei went through. Truthfully i didn't like it. But after all that this manga was a really good one, unrealistic yes, but a true gem. The characters were true, the comedy was great and to be fair it had to get serious at some point so the ending was were the fun slowed. I highly recommend this manga.

"Magnum Opus" Sound So Fancy!

Given the success of this work, it's easy to see how Bisco Hatori came to fame. Or, at least, fame as far as you could call a comic artist.

As the longest-running series by Hatori-sensei, it bears a very large change between the beginning and end of the story. As she took time off of Millennium Snow to work on this series, it become immediately apparent why that might have been: this story just has so much potential!

Although played as comedy, there are still many heartwarming moments throughout the early chapters. Having an extremely 90s art style while playing up the eccentricity of the characters certainly helps drive home the humor, and it's no secret that this is Hatori-sensei's strong suit.

By the end of the story, however, things have changed dramatically--drama, in fact, is the largest of these. The story begins to include many plots wherein the characters may fight or cause on another trouble in some way. Although not tragic characters by and large, they still manage to come through as genuine because of the effort they put into everything they do. Although never played up for depression points, each characters has a history.

The art evolves into a modern style by the end, showing off a much rounder look; specifically, more realistic in appearance. It looks very clean and suits the more dramatic elements of the latter half. As drama and romance are played up, the art moves away from the "glitter and glitz" screentones and overly-dramatic pictures to more subdued and soft effects.

Overall, the story is definitely worth reading no matter what types of story you like to read; don't be fooled by the romance and comedy labels, as these are certainly not the extent of everything Ouran High-School Host Club has to offer.

Wonderful

I loved this manga. The chapters and the situations were so random and hilarious, at least the first 50 chapters. It then starts focussing on the romantic aspect, which I personally found very taxing. The mangaka spoonfeeds every bit of the characters' emotions to us. There was no subtlety in how it was played out(Like the reviewer before me said). I was completely bored when Tamaki went into his serious mode. But, his recovery marked the beginning of another series of laugh-out-loud sessions.

My favourite character is definitely Tamaki. He provides much of the comic relief, along with the twins,of course. His method of sulking by crouching suits his character perfectly.

The gorgeous art is an added bonus. I swooned every time the host club did a new cosplay. Give it a shot. You won't regret it.

Good Memories will come from this ^^

The most interesting parts, for me, where the one developing the characters, their own stories, their family background . And also the art is amazing: the clothes, the characters themselves, the surroundings, everything was so well done. Sometimes while seeing Tamaki´s face it seemed so real to me, so handsome and so charming.

Getting to know the mangaka´s point of view, about the human nature, the way they face problems, it is a great experience.

Pretty Good

I agree, I didn't "read" the entire manga. I read the first few chapters and got familiar with the characters. Then I skimmed some of the "filler" chapters. I read the ones that introduced a good problem, drama(which I didn't think there was much of until later in the manga), or romantic development (which there also wasn't a lot of until toward the end).

Anywho, no need to know how I read this book, when I finished it I read the chapters I missed so it's all good. It was great for a first read, really enjoyed the plot and characters Very happy ending. I don't think I can read the whole manga again. Usually when I start missing Haruhi and the gang I read the first chapters up until they realize she's a girl, skip a few chapters to when Tamaki starts realizing he might have deeper feelings for Haruhi (and I mean really realizing, not just his strange fatherly love) and then to the last few chapters when they become a couple and confess.

But don't get me wrong, the other chapters are good but the manga is pretty long and I don't have enough time or attention-span to read all of them. However, when I have enough time i do like to go back and read some of my favorite adventures with them:]

On another note, for those that might become annoyed at her character, Haruhi is both cute and boyish, gentle and strong, naive and intelligent. She's a perfect heroine and Tamaki compliments her calm demeanor well. (Sorry to the Hikaru and Kouru fans, i love them but they didn't stand a chance against the King)

Good manga, give it a try. It's definitely one of those really popular mangas everyone should try once. You won't be disappointed!

One of a Kind

Ouran, though the art style is iffy at the beginning, and its characters are unforgetable! The main heroine, Haruhi, is very unique from other shojo girls. Guys and falling in love are not at the top of her list of priorities, and she doesn't fall for any of the hosts the instant she shes them.
The rest of the hosts are so lively and fun! Most of them are so excitable and curious about the "commoner" culture and lifestyle.
This series, unlike other satires such as Wallflower, makes fun of any cliche', but is sincere and has a lot of heart to it.
If you're looking for funny, look no further than the Ouran anime. The art is fantastic, and every comedy scene has a lot of detail. No stick figures are used and everything is in full color.
I reccommend both the anime and manga to anyone looking for comedy and memorable characters.

Lightherted with touching moments!

I like how, despite the manga being a comedy and had many gag chapters, the character didn't lack depth. The characters all had their imperfections AND strengths.
Besides, the fact that this manga, deapite being very effing hilarious, still managed to become serious and dramatic at times, without losing its lighthearted touch! It was both a touching feels fest as well as a tear-jerker, but the latter was because of laughter of course!
It had everything I wanted.
It's just soooo damn good, man!

a nice comedic read

The characters are cliche and based on character tropes...And I actually don't mind it for once. The only reason it works is because it was an intentional move on the author's part that actually adds to the comedic value.

The very first manga I had ever read and this is the manga that gave me a deep rooted megane and reverse harem obsessions (oh Kyouya.......) of course i have read different mangas and i found this isn't the BEST read but its a good beginners manga. when the drawing started to change near the end it wasn't much too my liking but whatever! Personally I thought Tamaki was a complete idiot and sometimes i just wanted to turn myself into a character and straight up shoot him in the brain. Still ended up liking him because he was so kind. Since I didn't know much about manga i kept thinking Kyouya's and Tamaki's names were senpai....... I also didn't know about what the twins were selling but then i looked it up....... yeah had that to get used to.

But altogether good read (note* didnt say great), i would spend time on it. these had bishies EVERYWHERE and every single one of the i would sell my soul to have (of course Kyouya i would do more then just sell my soul for... 😉 ...) I ABSOLUTELY ADORED THE ANIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so i would reccomend to watch that also

The Epitome of Romantic Comedy

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I have never in my life read a manga that captivated me and had me laughing from beginning till the end. It drew out feelings of deep friendship and love that is real; and a comedy that is and unsurpassed. I loved all the characters and how they are all the focus of the story.
