Great Character Development, More depth! Loved it!
It's true that what originally drew us all in was the comedy and oddness of it all.A host club at a rich kids school with Haruhi thrown into the mix.But every good story needs good character development and I think Bisco Hatori did a great job in doing that and furthering the story.

I was left wanting more just as always! True things are getting a little more "serious" but thats because the plot is thickening and it would seem the story may be soon coming to a close once and for all.Who will Haruhi end up with?! It may not be revealed in the next volume but I can't wait to find out all the same!

Keep up the great work Ms. Hatori!I eagerly await for future volumes as always! ^_^

I loved it !
I liked it, because this is twelve volume and nothing interesting has happened between haruhi and tamaki or the twins.This volume gets more closer to that. I found it very good!! I hope this keeps up!!!

More story, less funny
Ouran's saga seems to be drawing towards a close, or at least more so than in previous episodes.Since Kyoya is in France and the rest of the club thinks that Tamaki is also there (he's hiding at home), most of the story concerns the twins' identity search & exploring their feelings for Haruhi.Haruhi is present in the story but mostly as an accessory; Mori and Hunny are simply there as their usual background characters.Kasanoda is mentioned once (but not part of the story) and I also thought there was no sign of Nekozawa either...until I looked at the back cover of the book and found a beautiful color drawing of princely Nekozawa and Kirimi with their "pets."

In any case, since this volume is concerned with various characters' introspection, there's not a lot to laugh at.I originally stuck with Ouran because it was so unpredictably funny.So, I'm hoping that either Hatori has decided to wind up the series (because I could stand another volume or two of 'seriousness' just to get closure on the saga) or she put in a volume of serious before going back to the funny.I didn't enjoy this one much, but then, my favorite parts are always the parts where Tamaki is getting teased by Kyoya and the twins, and since they were all apart for this one...well...you see what I mean.

Product Description
In this sharp-witted romantic comedy about the clash of the classes (of all kinds), a poor girl at a rich kids' school ends up working at the school's toniest club-and gets mistaken for a boy!

In this high anticipated title, a kind of cross between HANA-KIMI and BOYS OVER FLOWERS, Haruhi is a scholarship student at an exclusive private school: Ouran High School, where it turns out the bespectacled, short-haired Haruhi is the only student from a lower-middle class family in attendance!

Then, to make matters worse, one day she breaks an $80,000 vase that belongs to one of the campus clubs-a mysterious outfit called the "Host Club," consisting of six superrich (and gorgeous) guys. Haruhi can't afford to pay back the cost of the vase, of course, so she's forced to work for the Host Club! And it's there that she discovers just how rich all the boys are and how different the rich are from you and me...And meanwhile, the eccentric but good-hearted rich boys are shocked to find out how life is on the other side... ...

The newest Ouran student
"The wealthy are blessed with idle hours... and six handsome, especially idle students have formed the host club to entertain females also burdened by a surfeit of leisure time."

Well, that's the basic description. But "Ouran High School Host Club Volume 1" is so much more than just a slapsticky reverse-harem anime -- it's a charming little comedy series that's constantly awash in costumes, geekery, over-the-top schemes, and an adorable budding romance. And that's just the first volume!

Haruhi Fujioka has just started on her scholarship at the elite Ouran Academy, and is looking for a quiet place to study... when she stumbles across the Host Club. The six wealthy boys there entertain girls with flirtation and elaborate costumes and decorations. The members: melodramatic and not-too-bright Tamaki, mischievous Hitachin twins Kaoru and Hikaru, cool-headed genius Kyoya, childlike Honey, and his silent stoic cousin Mori.

But when Haruhi accidentally breaks an antique vase, she finds herself drafted into the Host Club to pay off the debt... and only THEN does Tamaki find out she's a girl.

But she continues working at the Host Club, and finds that the boys are even more activeon the sidelines -- they deal with jealous female students who bully Haruhi, a pair of estranged engaged students who are about to be parted, and a mildly insane fangirl who has decided to mold them into her favorite sim game!

It usually takes a volume or two for manga series to really settle into their niche. But such is not the case with "Ouran High School Host Club Volume 1" -- it leaps headfirst into the story, and the rest of this book is spend happily bouncing around the insanity that surrounds the Host Club.

And Bisco Hatori slathers the story with slapstick, running jokes (the "twincest" theme that Hikaru and Kaoru play with), and constant over-the-top drama with lots of shouting. There's even a funny bonus chapter in which Hunny's bun-bun is accidentally splashed with tea, sending Tamaki and the twins into a frenzy as they try to avoid his wrath.

And the cast is pretty promising -- Haruhi is a down-to-earth, sensible teenager with a very androgynous appearance, while Tamaki is a delightfully manic, mildly narcissistic guy with a heart of gold. Mori and Hunny are a bit underdeveloped just yet, but the Machievellian "mom" Kyoya is hilarious, and the twins promise plenty of mayhem.

Bisco Hatori's "Ouran High School Host Club, Vol. 1" is a fresh, sunlit entrance into the world of Ouran Academy, and an unusually smooth start to a delightful manga series.

Ouran High School Host Club
This was a super cute and funny manga. I would recommend it. Even if you watched the anime, it's not the same. The anime tried to seem more dramatic, the graphic novel never had a dull moment.

Ouran High School Host Club, Vol 1 Review
Some Like It Hot meets Twelfth Night meets high school?Haruhi has no intention of disguising her sex, she is simply looking for a quiet place to study, and the libraries are full as she stumbles into what she assumes to be an unused music room - and directly into the arms of the Ouran High School Host Club!This host club is comprised of six wealthy young men with too much time on their hands who cater to the female elements of the school in order to amuse themselves.They are outside of Haruhi's usual purview - being a scholarship student, she is not of their social class.Thus their unawareness of her actual gender, as they welcome her to the club, led by club president Tamaki.Haruhi is flustered at finding herself among these six lovelies and, in the course of flailing about, accidentally smashes a valuable vase into smithereens!Replacement cost - $80,000!Opportunity gained for Haruhi - priceless!Now the question is, will she appreciate it, and will they?

As payment for this costly trinket, Haruhi finds herself impressed into service at the Host Club as their dogsbody, and she becomes acquainted with each of the members:Tamaki is the president/king - arrogant, self-centered, incredibly vain and incredibly good looking; Kyoyo, the vice-president, is bespectacled and studious; Kaoru and Hikaru are twins and very devoted to one another; and Hunny and Mori complete the group - Hunny, although 18 looks like a young child, and is often treated as such, with his naps and his bun-bun, and Mori is his long time friend/companion of the heart. The spoiled rich boys seem fascinated by Haruhi's poverty, and in an act of kindness, Tamaki declares that Haruhi's debt to the club will be wave if "he" comes up with 100 customer requests (not yet realizing that Haruhi is indeed a she).To that end, Tamaki gives Haruhi instructions on such important techniques as looking up from below, and the elegant way to place a glass upon the table.They send Haruhi shopping, and are amazed that he brings back instant coffee!They have no experience with it, so everyone has to try it, naturally- to appreciate how poor people live.Which leads, naturally, to experimentation with ramen, which they refer to as prole noodles (and Tamaki becomes addicted to).

They shine and polish Haruhi and set her into position as a host - and the girls that frequent the club are drawn to her,unaware of her true gender, especially when she reveals her tragic story of her mother's death, and the way she knows her way around a kitchen.This includes one of Tamaki's regulars, Miss Miss Ayanokoji.But when mean things begin to happen to Haruhi, she has to wonder how benevolent that interest is.But perhaps it is a fortuitous thing, for it draws Haruhi closer to the members of the club, and the truth is finally revealed.Not that she lied about being a girl - they never asked, simply assumed otherwise.Once it is known, though, they agree to keep her secret, for the sake of the host club.

This is a delightful gender-bender romp which will satisfy both the shojo lover as well as the yaoi lover.Even before he realizes she is female, Tamaki is drawn to Haruhi, and it's obvious to me that they must become a couple at some point - if she can get past his massive ego.Hikaru and Kaoru are closer than mere brothers (shades of Fred and George Weasley!) and their remarks to one another are filled with a great deal of innuendo and insinuation.The child-like Hunny can be considered a filip of shota, at least he gives the semblance of such, because the actuality is that he is 18, despite his waif-like appearance and behavior, and he and Mori are obviously a couple.There is a lot of humor, as well as romantic potential in this manga.The mangaka jabs at the idle rich as they learn what life is like for the less privileged - there is a lot to be learned on both sides.I like the art a great deal (Tamaki is certainly easy on the eyes), and the writing is good.One of my favorite linesis this:December...when hints of holy night tinge the northern winds.

I know I am slow in getting to this manga, but I don't tend to read what is popular when it first becomes popular.That being said, I really liked this one, and can't wait to read more, then watch the anime.I highly recommend Ouran Host Club, it's a fun read, and well worth the while to get into the series.

Simple Amazing
i loved it from start to finsh these book is funny and has a great story line i recomend it for all Shojo lovers

Definitely the BEST comedy manhwa i have EVER read!!!!!
The poor scholorship student Fujioka Haruhi is forced to masquerade as a boy and work in the super rich school Ouran Academy's Host Club after breaking an 8,000,000 yen vase the club had been planning to sell later. Hilarity ensues...

When I came upon this, I almost skipped over it, but, on a whim I started watching the anime, and I was imediately hooked! I have watched and read both the anime and the manhwa innumerable times, and I still don't come close to tiring of it! All of the characters are so different and awkwardly thrust together, that in the end, it fits! I never thought it would be possible to make something like this work. This is the only manhwa/anime that I have always, never fail reccomended for anybody and everybody I know who has read this absolutely loved it! ... Read more

white mans club
This book is very well researched by the author who not only took the time to travel to Charlisle but also contact and speak with the Lipan Apache Band of Texas who still live in the same land we always have lived.The author traveled and spent time with us at Carlisle where ceremonies were conducted at the graves of 3 Lipan Apache family members.There are precious few authors and historians who do nothing but write about what they have researched in libraries and archives but Fear-Segal di much more.Fear-Segal did this and met with us to gain a complete view of history and how it has affected us, and her.Thank you for taking the extra steps to do a complete story.

White Man's Club
This book is a surrogate diary for those who were allowed no voice of their own.My grandmother attended Carlisle Indian Industrial School, 1882-1885 and in these pages, I feel as though I am walking along side her.

A classic schoolboy fantasy
I read this book more than thirty years ago, and was gratified to find it again on Kindle for a nominal charge - a beat-up original copy, if you could find one, would probably set you back $15 or $20.

It's a classic schoolboy fantasy - Duke James, a sort of dark-side Fonzie from "Happy Days" - and his gang of comic-book delinquents ravish a series of sexy young teachers. The sex is well-described and mostly fairly realistic - the boys are out to humiliate the beautiful authority figures, rather than torture or mutilate them. There is even a tiny bit of character description - the characters have some individuality, unusual in a "literary" effort of this sort.
