Ouran High School Host Club Manga to End in September

The October issue of Hakuskensha's shōjo manga magazine LaLa has confirmed on Tuesday that Bisco Hatori's romantic comedy manga Ouran High School Host Club will end with a 52-page chapter in the next issue on September 24. The magazine had already announced in June that the series was entering its final story arc.

To mark the end of the manga, LaLa launched a "Host Club: The Last Party" fan campaign to give away presents. The campaign has an illustration contest for fan art, as well as votes for the fans' favorite "Title Page Illustration Selection" and favorite quotes from the manga ("The Best Collection"). The cast of Ouran's anime adaptation then recorded the top-ranking quotes for a CD. The CD is being offered to readers via a mail-away offer starting in the October issue. Of course, you can just be a pirate and get it like that instead of trying to win their offer.

Highschool of the Dead: Ep 1 Review

Ooh noes help me! I've fallen down and I can't get up. 

 So let me sum up Highschool of the Dead for you. There are zombies, busty high school girls, action, pointless fan-service, and busty high school girls beating the shit out of zombies. Did I forget to mention the boobs? Nah I don't think I did. 

When you first look at the name Highschool of the Dead you think of what else? Zombies and high school students beating the crap out of them. But in this case you'd only be half right. On the surface it looks like the type of anime you'd expect to have a lot of blood, gore, violence, and zombie slaying. But Highschool of the Dead is what I like to call "a mixed bag" an anime that only delivers only half of what it's suppose to deliver and half of things it's not suppose to. I did really enjoy watching it however there are some points I need to address. I'll explain more of it after the jump.
