Ouran Koukou Vol. 6

Synopsis:

It is the season for the school festival, and Ouran students does it in a grand scale indeed. All clubs & societies are competing for the central saloon – the most strategic place for a “booth” (if you can even call it that!) during the festival. Host Club, naturally, is competing for it as well. A treasure hunt race between the, & the football club will determine the winner. At the same time, someone is sending threatening letters to the Host Club.

With all the happenings, Host Club still manage to win the treasure hunt beautifully with style too. Turns out that the sender of the letters was the fiancee of the football club president. She just wanted him to notice her more instead of challenging Kyouya all the time. However, she’s not just the only one sending the letters, the anonymous empty letters with invisible ink were actually sent by Tamaki’s dad to tease him.

School festival arrived & Host Club is extra grand and very successful. Even Tamaki’s grandmother came. However, she showed her extreme displeasure for him and harshly told him not to touch her. The rest of the hosts told Haruhi about Tamaki’s past – his mother is actually a French women whom Tamaki’s father left his wife for. Because of that, the grandmother hated her (for more of this story, do read and support the manga!).

Review:

This is one of my favourite volumes because it reveal for the first time, so much of Tamaki’s life and why he is what he is now. Furthermore, this story arc about the school festival is one of the first stories arc that actually extend to more than 1 chapter. In fact, it covers almost the entire of volume 6. This show that the manga storyline is finally getting somewhere instead of nowhere.

Let us look forward to volume 7 & beyond!
