Have you ever found that one group of friends you would consider family? That group of people who amuse, inspire, and exasperate you on a daily basis? When you’re with them…it’s like being at home. Despite the odds, these people, these insane people, found you, chose you, and put in the effort to understand you. They’re the ones who chip away at your apathy, your loneliness, your fears, your insecurities. Her short hair, slouching attire, and androgynous face cause her to be mistaken by the Hosts for a male student, though they soon realize her actual gender and the fact that she's a "natural" in entertaining girls, promoting her to full-Host status against her will, all while jealously guarding the fact that she's in fact a girl; "their" girl.

Watching Haruhi deal with a group of self entitled, narcissistic, slightly psychopathic, yet loveable boys who are completely out of touch with reality is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. It's so good that I'm even doing a project on the series (it's actually on Volume 4). (¬‿¬ ) At the time (October 2021), it was my favorite volume. But that's changed now. So, I'll give my top 3 volumes: Hatori’s art is nothing to write home about in the beginning. To be honest, since I watched the anime first, I was a little underwhelmed by it. But her art soon becomes quite astounding as it evolves. There is more clarity, the characters looks gorgeous (well, not when they are going all chibi on you, but yeah), and it is all-around fun to look at.

I had wanted to watch the anime for a while, but every time I tried to, I hated it. It made no sense to me, and I thought it was stupid. Nonetheless, I still kept on trying to get past the 1st episode, even though the same results appeared each time. (￣▽￣) On the 6th try, however, I finally liked it. And I thought it was funny. I believe this was around end of May/beginning of June 2021. And then I fell in love with the anime and got pissed at the ending, even though I swore not to. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)These goofy dynamics are wonderful enough as is, but then Hatori hits you with CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. And OH MAN. The way Hatori deconstructs and develops her characters over the course of the story adds such incredible depth to the story. Suddenly a story that you were compelled to read by the hot guys becomes a story about an unparalleled friendship, unequivocal support and natural banter. There were countless moments where I was reduced to tears by the strength of their character development, some of which hit so close to home. By the end of the series, the maturity of her characters blew me away.
