Book Review of My Heavenly Hockey Club 1

My Heavenly Hockey Club 1

First volume -- kind of funny. Next 6 volumes - couldn't stand it!! It's unbearable! So you have been warned.

Hana Suzuki unwittingly joins the Hockey Club at her school - a school she actually studied to get into so she could sleep an extra 15 minutes. The Hockey Club rarely -- er, never, really -- plays hockey. Instead they travel to places to have matches that never happen. The other members are rich so they pay for the vacations, and Hana is showered with all the wonderful food she can eat. (That's why she stays with the club.)

Other club members: the handsome leader, who starts falling for Hana; the handsome studious megane friend who is harsh on Hana (rightly so), the handsome cute quiet one who turns evil a couple of times (which was quite funny); the handsome identical twins, and... so, yes, it's a reverse-harem, and no that's not bad in itself. What's unbearable is that all the characters were 2D. Hana had a bit more life in her (which is ironic), but the rest were just blah - pretty manga boys. The characters randomly fight bears and befriend monkeys and get into such stupid, impossible situations that are, rather than funny, aggravating.

It reminded me a LOT of Ouran High School Host club, but Ouran is a few hundred times better.

Still, if you like shojo reverse-harem school manga, try out the first volume, it will tell you all you need to know about the series - the next 6 volumes, anyway.
