SynopsisHana Suzuki loves only two things in life: eating and sleeping. So when handsome classmate Izumi Oda asks Hana–his major crush–to join the school hockey club, persuading her proves to be a difficult task. True, the Grand Hockey Club is full of boys–and all the boys are super-cute–but given a choice, Hana prefers a sizzling steak to a hot date. Then Izumi mentions the field trips to fancy resorts. Now Hana can’t wait for the first away game, with its promise of delicious food and luxurious linens. Of course there’s also the getting up early, working hard, and playing well with others. How will Hana survive? (Source: Del Rey) |

When I picked up this series, it was purely because of Ai Morinaga's previous series, Your and My Secret. I imagined a limited plot line and the same characters with different names.
I was very surprised to see different personalities and a situation I had never seen before. The characters are interesting, and their relationships are fun to watch playing out.
This series is quite fun to read, and takes turns that are unexpected. Hilarious and addicting, this is a series I can't wait to finish.

as expected of morinaga ai, another hilarious manga worth reading.
it's refreshing to see a shoujo heroine who's not weak and stupid.
the story does remind of ouran since there the harem consists of the twins, a tamaki, and kyouya. and it's a club! just like host club. good thing i gave this a chance to read and i was not disappointed.
the storyline is good but i seriously raised an eyebrow since they're a hockey club that rarely practice and play but instead, they go on trips. it just so happens that the club president is son of the school owner or something to that effect and that person is rich so they spend time leisurely.
art is also good and the way the author drew the funny scenes made me laugh.
the characters have interesting personalities. i especially liked hana since she's stubborn but only to the club president. ^_^

Both series has a boy club that admits a girl that acts like a boy. All the boys are insanely rich while the girl is middle class. The leader of the club has a big crush on the girl, but they don't want to admit it.
They both have "tomboyish" girls that have been lassoed into working for/being involved in a "club" full of nothing but (rich) guys because of a debt.
That is where the similarities(?) end though. Both are very different manga, but both are good. I say go read 'em! :D
Well, I haven't thoroughly tested this out, but somewhere in Volume 8 or Gokuraku Seishun Hockey Club I thought, I wonder if this is an intentional parody of Ouran High School Host Club? At least some of the time, anyway. Ouran is certainly famous enough to be parodied. There's a girl forced into a boy's club, which is totally unlike the Ouran Host Club, but the male members are rich, there is a set of twins, there's the glasses-wearing intellectual type, and there's a pretty boy (OK, he's not as short as Hunny). The heroine is somewhat odd and somewhat detached, too. The purpose of the club seems to be somewhat ill-defined in both cases. At one point the leader of the club announces a plan for the club to take on the noble cause of getting a prince to stop hating Japan, very much like Tamaki takes on noble causes. In any case, it's not a close parody. I mean, Ouran is itself a parody of other things. But it's fun to think about. You can look for your own similarities and differences.
Just like rich tamaki uses poor haruhi as a toy and forces her to join their club due to a debt izumi does the same to Hana, except that their club is a "hokey" club. It has the same tipe of humor and as you read it it also has the same feel to it. If you enjoyed OHHSC you definitely enjoy this one.

Hockey Club does not have DH's mystical theme, but the two have very similar humor and atmosphere.
