Happy Hustle High, Vol. 1: Volume 1

Love Rie Takada! Cute story and love the art

is a funny and weird animeHanabi Oozora is a rambunctious sixteen-year-old tomboy who comes to the rescue of her less assertive friends--sometimes in exchange for food. So what does she do when, all of a sudden, her all-girls' school is about to be integrated with an all-boys' school?!She meets and falls in love--naturally--with one of the three most popular and handsome boys in the Student Council, Yasuaki Garaku! Unfortunately, Yasuaki doesn't care for girls... and when the girls' Student Council clashes head-on with the boys' Student Council, Hanabi steps in to become a member - hoping she'll change Yasuaki's mind!

I like the series.

This is one of the most amazing "real life" stories I have read in manga. The story and characters make you fall in love with them. I had read this series before and wanted to own it. It is such and AMAZING series. The book might as well have been brand-new, because it is in excellent condition!

Tomboy Hanabi Ozora's all-girls high school is going co-ed and she is the only girl at school who can talk to the boys with out blushing so the girls want her to be Vice President over the whole school. Then she falls in love with one of the most popular and hottest guys in school...but he doesnt know how to talk to girls, so he is a little hostile!The art is great even if the story line is a bit cliche.

This is not one that I would recommend for guys. I've tried to get one of my guy friends to read it, and he couldn't really get into it. It was kind of cute, but the ending was anticlimatic as far as the series goes. I liked it as far as the romance went, it got interesting. Not the best, but not bad either.

Unlike some reviews on this page the following one is for the first volume:In Happy Hustle High (originally published as H3 School), Hanabi Ozora is a 16 yr old tomboy whose all-girl school is being intergrated with Meibi High (an all boy school). Hyper and cute, Hanabi is excited to have the boys around and on the first day meets the cute student council vice president, Yasuaki Garaku, who seems to want nothing to do with her or any girl. To help her shy and lovestruck friends, Hanabi agrees to fill in as a student council rep. Her first task? Make dating 'legal' again within the school. This means she'll have to get approval from Yasuaki.I don't want to give too much away and ruin the fun of reading this manga (since that all it really is: fun), but you'll see Hanabi finding herself being in 'like' with both Yasuaki as well as his 'rival' Tokihisa Aido.Personally, I really like this manga so far. Rie Takada has a nice clean style with good looking guys and cute girls. The story is nothing we haven't seen before, but I thought everything just really seemed to work. Yes Hanabi is lucky finding herself in the midst of a budding love triangle with the school's best looking guys, but she's such a likeable character it didn't annoy me, I was instead cheering her on.If your looking for a cute, funny, and pretty short (I think it's only 5 vol.) series that is perfect for the manga reader who is looking for something a bit more mature, then I highly recommend Happy Hustle High.

Happy Hustle High was a hilarious (at times not really believable, but hey, it's a book) teen story. The cliffhanger storyline keeps you wanting the read the next book and see what happens next. The main characters are pretty solid though there are a view I really wish they would have told you more about towards the end. It's an enjoyable read, the boys are ridiculously pretty and the heroine is a lovable tomboy. Just another teen story, yes, but a pretty good one.
