About the Author

Bisco Hatori made her manga debut with Isshun kan no Romance (A Moment of Romance) in LaLa DX magazine. The comedy Ouran High School Host Club is her breakout hit. When she's stuck thinking up characters' names, she gets inspired by loud, upbeat music (her radio is set to NACK5 FM). She enjoys reading all kinds of manga, but she's especially fond of the sci-fi drama Please Save My Earth and Slam Dunk, a basketball classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great volume, November 15, 2008

This is another great installment of my favorite manga series. Ouran has started to get a little more serious and emotional, especially regarding the Tamaki/Haruhi/Hikaru love triangle, but anyone who has been following the series knew this was coming. For me at least, this is a welcome addition to the story. Bisco Hatori has been able to keep the lighthearted romantic humor in the series while allowing the characters to grow and develop. Way to go! I can't wait for volume 12!

Hatori strikes again with this very amusing volume containing the Sports Festival, an encounter with a wild tanuki, and some personal introspection (mostly on Hikaru's part). Nekozawa (red team) at the sports festival was the funniest thing in the book. I really laughed like crazy at Kyoya's (white team) "tactic" to psych out Nekozawa during the hurdles race. There's not much Kasanoda (red team) - just a few scenes with him talking to Haruhi at the festival and giving her some yams from the gardening club later. Too bad, because I love him and Nekozawa more than the host club guys. Tamaki is worse than usual throughout this volume: more full of himself, but less amusing. And it starts to get heavy when Hikaru spends pages thinking about things. But this is relieved by the story of Mori and the wild tanuki as well as the ending bit about Chika and Hunny and Mori's pet baby chick. I would say this is a strong volume, probably on a par with the volume about the twins' youth & how Tamaki recruited them. (Volume 9?)

I do wonder if there are new translators working on the series. Kyoya seems to be translated much more "roughly" than previously, although there are a couple scenes where he merits this because of anger, and some of the twins' talk is a bit more stilted than their usual artless chatter.

Still, keep up the good work, folks!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Drama, Sports, and Yams, Oh My!, August 13, 2010

By 

Conscious Thinker (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ouran High School Host Club, Vol. 11 (Paperback)

The ever scheming Kyoya and the consistently conceited Tamaki compete against each other, the twins are fighting over the same girl, Honey and Mori are consoling the twins, and Haruhi is (understandably) annoyed and confused by everything. Also, there is a sports festival, so of course there is a bread tasting contest, a candy art contest, obstacle courses that involve eating cake... (hmm, sounds more like a food festival). There's a treasure map. Someone wears a loincloth in public. There's also a tanuki, an animal which looks like a racoon, wrecking havoc. And yams. Lots and lots of yams.
