Ouran High School Host Club, Vol. 8 by Bisco Hatori

5.0

More backstory! This time we see how Tamaki and Kyoya became friends(?).

Class 1-A has a contest to see who the biggest cowards are. You'd think the twins would be naturals at scarring, but you'd be surprised. Haruhi gets more insight into the twins while being unphased by the contest.

A new supporting character is introduced. Kasanoda is the son of a Yakuza boss who raised him to be feared. But the kid has a big heart and doesn't want to frighten everyone. The Host Club tries to help and they're getting better at planning even if their execution isn't perfect. Kasanoda--or Casanova or Bossa Nova as the HC nicknames him--sticks with it and eventually Haruhi figures him out and...he falls in love with her. This leads to a great image of Haruhi as a Yakuza wife. Kasanoda shows up after his story is done and he remains delightful.
