A Great Start

At first glance you may recognize some features from the popular 2006 hit, Ouran High School Host Club. The ultra elite school, the ultra elite club within the school, the characters who can't express their feelings, etcetera. But don't think I'm criticizing the show. Though similar (everything has been done before so with every show you'll see resemblance to another) it has many unique qualities. The balance between romance and comedy is something you don't see too often in what shows claim to dub themselves "romantic comedies." Right from the start of episode one you're given a heat-felt moment AND some good laughs. I won't give this show a perfect score yet seeing as how there's only been 2 episodes aired, but I believe it's on the right track so I stick to my solid 9 for a score. I can't wait to see the rest of this season unfold as the manga is quite enjoyable.
