OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB GN BOX SET: Volumes 1-18 with Premium (Ouran High School Host Club Box Set)

Product Information

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. Digital goods, open DVDs and Blu-rays, smart art prints, mystery bundles, and final sale items are excluded from the return policy. 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.

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

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. 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. 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. When I finished the last chapter of Ouran High School Host Club (a manga that will now be referred to as ‘Ouran‘), I started giggling like an idiot and crying like a baby. Giggling because the series is just too darn funny and crying BECAUSE IT WAS OVER! Ouran is unlike any shojo I have ever read, and after reading the manga through the wee hours of the night, spending time with the wonderful characters, it’s really hard to watch the story end. But really, I fell in love with this series and can’t thank Bisco Hatori enough for bringing it into the world.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. 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. It seems pointless to have two of the members graduate like 85% into the series when they keep showing up in every chapter. But I'm glad they do keep showing up.

What is there to say? OHSHC is a modern classic of genderbent shoujo. It managed to twist the common tropes of the genderbent genre, while making interesting comments on the interplay of public and personal identity. It's not perfect, but I can't say that I don't consider it to be one of the best shoujo series of all time. I still remember crying at the end, and being punch-drunk happy at the somewhat too perfect ending. Sometimes you need something a little too perfect.

A red-haired princess loses her family and her kingdom... Now she must rise and fight for her throne! Which you probably wouldn't expect from something called "Host Club", in which a bunch of guys entertain their female student counterparts in a school for the richest. I absolutely love this series and would recommend it if you liked the anime because it is even more funny and complete's the story! Ouran Host Club is filled with beautiful art and plot. Amazing characters and Amazing Character development that will make you laugh to the very end! Not to forget the becoming and important lessons that can be learned from it. I have to say it is one of my favorites! <3 I'm very sad that it's over because the character development was so good that it's like you are actually saying goodbye to the characters. They seem so real! ( #Writing goals ) I felt like the Characters that developed the most were probably the twins, Hikaru definitely had the biggest development. (I found myself liking him more in the manga than the anime because of it.) Haruhi also has a big character development. The ending was very cute and sweet! An Awesome story about friendship, loyalty, Family, helping others and being true to yourself!
