Ouran High School Host Club, Vol. 1by Bisco Hatori
Viz, 2005
GENRE: Manga
HONORS: None
known
REVIEW: Haruhi is
a young female scholarship student at a rich and prestigious private high
school. Looking for a quiet place to study, she stumbles into the Third Music
Room where meets the school’s Host Club, and accidentally breaks their vase.
Being mistaken for a male, Haruhi is told she must join as a host in order to
pay off her debt. Can she keep up her ruse?
OPINION: The only
manga I’d read until now was Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World which is written in a
more American Style. Host Club is originally Japanese and has been translated
for an American audience, but still reads right to left and uses the Japanese
names. At first I found it difficult to get used to the reading style and tell
all of the characters apart, but once I got the hang of it I enjoyed it and
hope to watch the animated version of the books.
IDEAS: This book could accompany a “how to draw
manga” program, and/or be included in a display of popular manga series.
