Now that Ouran Host Club is over...

...can anyone who read the manga tell me at which volume the anime ends? I'd like to continue the story, but don't know where to start buying. If anyone with a clue can give me a ting-a-ling, I'd appreciate it.

Well, the story of the final two episodes wasn't entirely manga-based--the manga is still running in Japan, so the anime's ending is mostly made up. The school festival story is in the manga (in v. 6), but it's very different from the anime-version--there's no Eclair in the manga at all, for example.

The anime didn't follow the manga stories chronologically, anyway--the chapters with Kasanoda, for example, have just been published in the past few months in Japan, and probably won't be out in the U.S. for a while. And some of the anime eps are identical to the chapters on which they're based, others are quite different. So you're really free to pick up the manga wherever you choose.

Eheheh, sorry, I wasn't much help, was I?

Thanks much, that was a lot of help, actually!
