In this screwball romantic comedy, Haruhi, a poor girl at a rich kids' school, is forced to repay an $80,000 debt by working for the school's swankiest, all-male club—as a boy! There, she discovers just how wealthy the six members are and how different the rich are from everybody else...
The first-years in Class 1-A are taking part in a test of courage, where the loser will receive the dubious honor of being dubbed "Best of Cowards." Kazukiho Souga, the class president and a fraidy-cat at heart, is happy to be on a team with the levelheaded Haruhi, but will he be able to stomach the antics of his other teammates--the twins Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin?

Another great edition. Still in the episodes that are available on Netflix but I feel this book adds depth that the show doesn't. I can't wait for the new stuff though.
3.5 stars. I love this manga series so much, but this has been my least favorite volume so far. I feel bad about the rating, but that's how I truly feel about this one.
Haruhi's and the twins' class is having a test of courage! The class pres, the twins, and Haruhi are all on a team.
In the anime, this is combined with the Halloween episode. I like both versions. It's funny when Haruhi and Hikaru get trapped in the net and then rush to find Kaoru.
I think it's cute how Hikaru likes Haruhi but doesn't really realize it. Watching the twins become kinder because of Haruhi is one of my favorite storylines. It's so sweet.
We travel back in time to when Kyoya met Tamaki. And what a whirlwind it was! (This is another one of my favorite plots, Kyoya pretends to be all cold, but he really does care about Tamaki.)
Mori gets an apprentice! Ritsu Kasanoda is the son of a major Yakuza family and has a scary face, but he wants people to like him. He's really a softie, it's just his darn face!
Mori and the club take pity on him, but it's really Haruhi and his friend that help him. There is trouble afoot, though, when Ritsu discovers Haruhi's secret!
I loved this part in the book, it was so funny how Tamaki reacted.
I thought it was fun that Hatori announced the anime in this book! I loved the anime and I love this series!
A lot of comedy in this volume that actually made me laugh, sometimes from the smallest of details.
In this volume, the only serious bits were Kyoya's backstory for how he met Tamaki, and then at the end when, after meeting Bossa Nova, for just the barest of moments Tamaki's...er...feelings are called out, albeit indirectly and very subtly. It's the first indication of any serious psychological developments for him and for the emotional aspect of the plot for main pairings and whatnot, though, of course, there's still a lot to get through before we come to that.
Apart from that, I'd called this the "Bossa Nova Volume", as maybe 2-3 chapters focus on him and his interactions with the host club.
Once again, a great read, a fun time, and a pleasant evening re-reading this.
Meh. This was another dud for me. On the one hand, the series has a bit more depth and its interesting to see both how the host club members became friends as well as how their friendships are evolving and changing. However, I miss the screwball comedy. It's not happening as often as it used to. I did like the end when they are helping out a tough guy make new friends just because it got back to the actual host club.
Me encantó la historia de casanova-kun jajaja y conocer un poco más y entender la relación de amistad que tienen Tamaki y Kyoya <3, esto último se llevó el broche de oro en este tomo.
The episodes in this volume were a lot of fun! We started out with the episode the goodreads synopsis explains up above. Hikaru and Kaoru are their typical mischievous selves, and I love them.
We then get more information on Kyoya’s backstory/friendship with Tamaki. It’s funny how Tamaki has literally never changed throughout his years at school. He’s such a special cinnamon roll.
My favorite episodes of the volume were those with Kasanoda. I felt so bad for him because he just wants to have friends and love animals but everyone is afraid of him because of his scary face.
The scary episode and Kyoya episode were just missing some oomph in my opinion. Hunny and Mori weren’t in this volume too much, and I missed them. I like it when everything is balanced. I’m still loving these volumes though. Fantastic.
I love the focus on Mori and Kyoya on this volume. I love the part where we get a glimpse of how very dense and innocent Tamaki is with regards to his own feelings, which Kaoru seems to have an idea about. But Honey and Mori seems to have realized more than the rest do. Such a cute volume and they were so beautifully drawn when they were wearing traditional clothing.
probably the best volume in the series so far😭🙏 tamaki and kyoka becoming friends 😂🫶🏻 and THE CASSANOVA LMAOOO (also the haruhi's dad thing is hilarious 😹 i love simpleton mmcs but tamaki is my fave so far😭😭)
Kasanoda and Tetsuya are fabulous and Kaoru is my forever favorite forever and ever amen, although I love literally every single one of them. (But Kaoru.)
i can't w haruhi's little hee hee's they are just too cute. also i wanna finish this manga during august cause im doing my bujo spread on either just haruhi or the trio (haru,tama,kyo)
