About this deal
They may be stereotypical in the beginning, but their backstories and character development (though not much) make them interesting. It's a shoujo (in case all the pink wasn't obvious enough) and it has all the usual stereotypes-clichés etc.

This is probably one of my favourite shojo manga because it contains a strong female protagonist who wrapped 6 boys around her finger UNINTENTIONALLY. I may add some more within the next few days because there's so much I could say about how much I love this manga. You really wouldn’t think that a person would make such a combination of things work, but Hatori did, quite beautifully. The whole "host club" may sound weird, but the story focuses more on the characters and the club activities don't make you frown.
If you are looking for a fun read with some humour and not too much drama, I’d highly recommend this manga.

To pay back the damages, she is forced to work for the club, and it's there that she discovers just how wealthy the boys are and how different they are from everybody else. Mostly cuz my top 3 would be: Hunny Senpai, Evil Lord Kyoya (though sadly his development kinda falls by the wayside in the last third of the series), and Ranka. This isn't just marvelously funny, their individual background stories is what makes this such a superb story. When she's stuck thinking up characters' names, she gets inspired by loud, upbeat music (her radio is set to NACK5 FM).A little while later (aka July; a month after I'd finished the anime), I came from a little "vacation" (it was an overnight thing in Philly), and there it was. Though friends can form bonds stronger than those of family, Hatori highlights that family is still so important to a wholesome, happy life. The latter half of the manga is more about going further into the backstories introduced in the first half (and anime) and pushing all the characters towards a future.
