About Ouran High School Host Club

Ouran High School Host Club (桜蘭高校ホスト部) arrives as a comedy anime by bones and Nomad (2006), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: Fujioka Haruhi wins a scholarship to attend Ouran Academy, a school reserved for only the most rich and prestigious. Despite what other pupils may think of her, she cares little for physical appearances or the fact that she is a commoner.

More of the story: Unfortunately for Haruhi, her high school days take a sudden turn when she stumbles upon the Host Club, an elite club filled with super rich and beautiful boys who use their specific traits and charms to entertain young ladies. Even worse, Haruhi accidentally breaks an 8-million yen vase in the club. Since she is unable to repay her debt with money, Haruhi comes across herself with no choice but to work for the Host Club, becoming a male host herself.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Maaya Sakamoto as Haruhi Fujioka and Mamoru Miyano as Tamaki Suou. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. With 26 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
