Ah, where can i start! This manga is what introduced me to shojo manga and i'm so glad i read it! Hatori sensei's art really amazes me, if you look at volume 1 then at volume 18 you would see how her art changes with time. i loved this manga for so many reasons, one of which is the character growth! the twins, kyoya, haruhi, honey, tamaki, and mori (in some ways ). i cant really go into detail about how their characters grew without spoiling some things. if you only watched the anime PLEASE read the manga!! The heroine (haruhi ) is not like other shojo mangas ! I love her because she is so unique and such an amazing character! At first its a comedy, with some serious parts. in volume 14-17 it gets more romantic and serious and vol 18 after a bit of drama its really light hearted! I loved the ending! the ending was (kinda spoiler idk) so amazing! it ended with the words (not exact) "the host club had no intention of becoming memories" which gives the ending a hopeful feeling, instead of a nostalgic feeling. although time has passed and it feels nostalgic now, at the time it really wasn't nostalgic, this series made me so happy and i enjoyed reading it! the ending is truly happy ! please read this manga
