Quirky Cat
Summary:
Things are different at the schools of the hyper-rich and elite. They may as well be operating on an entirely different planet. Haruhi is the only outlier at her school, one of the only kids that don't have insane amounts of money. In fact, she's poor, which is unfortunate because she just broke an $80,000 vase. Now she'll have to work it off at the "Host Club."
The "Host Club" is a mysterious – yet luxurious – high school club. It has six members plus one new employee (Haruhi). However...there is one small complication, as they all think Haruhi is a boy.
Review:
Ouran High School Host Club Vol. 1 is pretty much everything I had expected/hoped for. I can see why people love this series so much. It's fun and quirky, even right out of the gate. That said, I think it will take longer to fully appreciate all the characters in Ouran High School Host Club. After all, there are seven primary characters to get to know, and this is only the first volume.
It's one series that surprises you with how quickly it'll make you laugh. The reverse-harem element certainly adds a lot to the plot, as do all of the complications Haruhi has to deal with. I'll admit that watching these rich boys float around was funnier than expected.
I should probably take some time to sit down and watch the anime. But before I do that, I must decide whether to read more of the manga first or focus on the anime. Decisions, decisions...
Will I continue the series? Maybe
