sigh: revenge vs. cross dressing shoujo

[calledinvain]

Am going to sell off all of my Ouran High School Host Club manga - it was between that or Skip Beat! and...grudge Kyokos always win, no matter how much I find Haruhi adorable.

More resumes to send off ~

In that face-off, Kyoko will always win for me, too. I think part of it is how Kyoko is so willing to take charge of her destiny while Haruhi is pretty passive about life. I stopped reading Ouran High School Host Club when Haruhi started developing feelings for Tamaki, which I wasn't fond of as I don't like him.

Good luck with the job hunt. I'm needing to get started on that myself...

ah, book off. how you do charge exceedingly under value

Kyoko's spitfire personality and how she is driven to succeed has always been a favorite with me, while Haruhi's more laid back, oddly blunt observation of the weirdness that happens whenever one of the boys does something is also a favorite - I mean, in Ouran, there has to be a a straight guy to balance out all the gag/hijinks the boys do, though I suppose Mori and Kyoya also function as the voices of steady sanity. It was hard to choose, but I had to do it. Tamaki is a spaz bot, yes - I don't know how I feel about the pairing really, because it's both the obvious choice and yet, for a manga that started out as a satire of the shoujo harem format, Bisco Hatori could have made it a lot more interesting if she chose to go a defiantly ambiguous/gen angle or paired Haruhi up with, I don't know, Mori

One reason why I liked Haruhi was because she was so level-headed in her way of thinking. I was always rooting for Haruhi to end up with either Kyouya or Mori, and it makes me sad that won't ever happen. I am curious as to how the manga ends (if it has already ended).

Ugg. That's not cool. I hope something nibbles for you soon. That's probably the type of job I'll end up looking for as I pretty much just need something that will support me (and I have no clue what I really want to do with my life).

Thanks. :)
