Crap. I knew I should have borrowed the 17th volume concurrently with the 16th! This was cruel, considering how depressing the end of the story arc was (even though I was slightly pleased that they showed a background on the Hitachiin twins, as well as the background of Haruhi's parents). But considering this is a comedy romance, I'm not too worried.
Just one thing major comes to mind, and that's the disbanding of the host club (and how Kyouya was so adamant in not losing the friendships he's made! I feel like Renge commenting here when I say, "For that, I could eat ten bowls of rice!").
Okay, I lied. The other thing was the accidental shoujo kiss in the middle of it all. Or was that in the previous volume? Bah, I'm attributing it here, because things do start spiraling to sad. And, consequently, things do have to go through a storm before it gets better, right? (That said, the bit with the thunder fit in quite nicely!).

I almost want to give this volume negative 4 stars for how much it emotionally hurt me... I know that that's just a sign of a well crafted story though. If it wasn't, I would hate Tamaki's evil bitch of a grandmother so much (sorry for the language, but that's how I feel). I hope that things will be resolved in a nice way, but I know that first we must endure more heartache and pain.

There was a lot to like in this one. And yet I didn't particularly like it. But it was very much okay.
It starts with the duel between Honey and Mori. The fight was annoying as expected, but short - but the writing around the fight was light and good and added just a little bit of color to both characters, including the framing bits of their father's talking.
The Tamaki's grandmother separating him from the host club plot was annoying, but it it could have been worse.
There were some nice bits of backstory.
And yet this ended up just fine. Art was still good though. 3.5 of 5
