Ouran High School Host Club, Vol. 12

Ouran high School Host club is so adorable 😍 &I can't wait to finish the series

I recently read Volume 12 of Ouran High School Host Club, and I was really impressed by how it explores the special friendship between the characters. Each of them have their own unique quirks and the way they interact and support each other is really heartwarming.

I enjoyed the comedic points in this volume. The triangle love affair confused me a bit. I knew Karuo liked Haruhi but the way he went about trying to fall out of liking her romantically felt a bit confusing. I'm a bit satisfied with the resolution the episode came to. Karuo still needs to overcome his own dependency on his brother. This is the volume where Haruhi belongs to have feelings for .... but can't understand why. The diarrhea part was super funny.

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! ^_^

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.
