Plot




Haruhi is a poor tomboyish student at a school for the ultra-
wealthy, able to attend because of a scholarship, and unable to even
afford a uniform. One day, she stumbles across the decidedly peculiar but
very popular Ouran Host Club. She tries to leave, but accidentally breaks
a vase, and unable to pay for it, she's told that she'll have to stay and do
odd jobs. That is, until they decide she would be more valuable as a club
member. Not realizing she's female due to her appearance, they fix her up
and give her a male uniform. She's an instant hit, so they decide to have
her keep up the charade even after they find out the truth. Haruhi, being
average almost to a fault, doesn't know what to make of the
unconventional activities of the Host Club (or of the even more
unconventional members), but having little choice, she plays along. Before
long, real bonds are formed, friends made, and Haruhi finds herself
accepted in a way she could never have been otherwise in this affluent
school.

I love Ouran High School Host Club, it's really good! ^^

 

[Ka Lai]

This anime is really awesome. It's a lovely mix of comedy and romance.

I think there's a lot of character development, and character insight, which is always great in anime, i.e. Tamaki's sudden spurs of kindness and insight, Hikaru's growing up, and that there's more to Hunny than just cake.

Also, you can really relate to Haruhi, because she's a 'commoner,' just like us, and shares similar reactions as we would.  

[bullterrierlove]

I love the anime and the manga! It's on my top five list!  

[Bluluv6]

I love Ouran High School Host Club 4laugh both the anime and manga are great and hillarious whee
There will always be one line tamaki said i will never forget:
"My name is Alice! I'm a man!" rofl  

[kel aka gandy]

Whoot! Funimation has picked up Ouran!!!

 

[Mintchocochocochip]

Oh my gosh~! I love Ouran High School Host Club's Hunny Sempai!!! Then its the twins for me mrgreen  

[LovelyAdversity]

i lurve it when the teins start licking haruhi's face and then tamaki gets all mad and he only touches her face and she gets like, "is this sexual harrassment, you kiss-a-holic?" lolz it's soooooooo funny!!!  

[Narabeleth_Du]

I love Ouran High School host club!!!

My favorite episode when the Zuka club come to Ouran and tries to convince Haruhi to join them and the Host Club dresses like girls. xd

Kyoya makes a very pretty girl. (Mori was the only one not in a dress 4laugh ) The same goes for Haruhi's dad. Makes a very pretty woman. blaugh  

[maple_chan]

Ouran is one of my favorite animes of all time heart
