Ouran High School Host Club

The Ouran Host Club

Ouran High School Host Club is a hilarious anime that tells the story of Haruhi, a poor student who got a scholarship to study in Ouran Academy, a well-known school for the rich and famous. One day, while looking for a place to study, Haruhi found the 3rd music room which was used by the host club and went in. In the room, Haruhi accidentally broke a vase that cost 8 million yen. Haruhi could not afford to pay for the vase and therefore was force to join the host club as a ‘dog’ (servant). The host club consist of 6 rich gorgeous/beautiful looking teenage boys who serves/host young ladies during their free time. They are, Tamaki(daddy) the founder/president of the club; Kyouya(mummy) the vice president cum secretary cum financial manger of the club; Hikaru and Kaoru(The Itachiin Brothers) the twins who always play pranks on Tamaki and lastly, Honi and Mori senpai, two seniors who are inseparable.

The idea of males serving females in this anime is kind of fresh to me. It is somewhat different that a lot of other animes. I love the way they (the ppl behind the it) model each character. Each one of them are unique but yet they fit and support other character as well. (I’ll explain more on each character below)

There is also a twist in the anime where Haruhi turns out to be a girl instead of a boy. Being a poor child, Haruhi does not dress well and is always in a messed. This confuses people as they think that she is a he instead. At one point of the show, Haruhi was force to change her clothes, being thought of as a boy, the host club members dress her up in a male student uniform. That was when Tamaki noticed her beautiful eyes and instantly made her one of the host club member. The story goes on in each episode telling the lives of Haruhi and the rest of the hot club members.

This anime consist of a total of 26 episodes. Each episode is unique and tells a different story except for maybe 1 or 2 episodes that are inter-related.


The Main Characters:

Haruhi
Haruhi: The star of the show. First year student and classmate of The Itachiin Brothers. A poor student who is always being referred to as a commoner by the rich students in Ouran Academy. Has to work in the host club to pay off her debt for breaking a 8 million yen vase. Hates the club and the members at first but slowly bonded with the members later especially with tamaki.



Tamaki
Tamaki: A second year student in Ouran Academy. He is the founder of the host club. Supposedly the most handsome guy among the host club members. (as he is blonde..and yeah..i do agree..he’s good looking!) He is also the illegitimate son of the owner of Ouran Academy. To me, he is the funniest member of the club and also the silliest as he does not know that Haruhi is a girl.



Kyouya
Kyouya: Another second year student who is also Tamaki’s class mate cum good friend. His father owns the military troop and a giant company in the medical industry. He’s the vice president and the financial manager who is always thinking of ways to promote the club and to make money out of it. He is always serious looking and quiet and usually only talks when there's a need to voice his opinion on how to benefit the club. A brilliant student.



Hikaru
Kaoru
Hikaru and Kaoru (The Itachiin Brothers): First year students and classmates of Haruhi. Their love for each other is the key point for attracting ladies. They are annoying at times, but yet they are funny as they always play pranks on others especially Tamaki.



Mori
Honi
Mori and Honi: Two final year students at Ouran Academy. Both are from famous martial arts families and can fight very well. Both Mori and Honi are inseparable as they have known each other since young (their family are close friends). Mori being the tall cool guy who doesn’t talk follows honi everywhere trying to protect him. Honi on the other hand, is small in stature and has a very cute face (he is so adorable to the extend that I wish I could hug him!). He brings with him his lil rabbit plush toy everywhere and he likes to eat cakes. Although he looks small, he fights very well.

To conclude, I would like to say that I loved this anime! (as you can see from the fact that the soundtrack of the anime is being played as the background song of this blog and my profile picture of the super kawaii honi-kun). Ouran high school host club is a must watch for all anime fans. It is hilarious and entertaining plus the fact that there are good looking and cute guys in it. Once you’ve watched it, you would definitely want a second season but it seems rather unlikely. Overall, I give it a 4.5 out of 5 rating. :)
