Anime Eureka

 

     Ouran High School Host Club (桜蘭高校ホスト部（クラブ） Ōran Kōkō Hosuto Kurabu?) is a manga series by Bisco Hatori, serialized in Hakusensha’s LaLa magazine since August 5, 2003. The series follows Haruhi Fujioka, a scholarship student at Ouran High School, and the other members of the titular host club. The screwball romantic comedy focuses on the relationships within and without the Club and satirizes the clichés and stereotypes that endure in series aimed at girls. The manga has been adapted into a series of audio dramas, an animated television series directed by Takuya Igarashi and produced by Bones, and a visual novel by Idea Factory.

Scheme:

    Haruhi Fujioka is a scholarship student at Ouran High School, a fictional school located in Bunkyō, Tokyo. Because of the superlative cost of the school uniform, Haruhi resorts to wearing long slacks, polo shirts and vests. Combined with her large glasses and tousled short hair, Haruhi’s look causes her to be confused for a boy.

    Looking for a quiet place to study, Haruhi stumbles upon the Third Music Room, the working place of the Ouran Host Club, a group of six extremely attractive male students (Takashi Morinozuka, called "Mori"; Mitsukuni Haninozuka, called "Honey"; twins Kaoru and Hikaru Hitachiin; Tamaki Suou, and Kyoya Ootori) who spend their time charming and entertaining the school’s girls for profit. During their first meeting, Haruhi accidentally knocks over and breaks a vase valued at ¥8,000,000, estimated to be US$80,000.

    In order to pay off the large debt, Haruhi is employed as the club’s "dog" and is constantly ordered to do menial tasks like serving food or cleaning up. The club president, Tamaki Suou, without knowing she is really a girl, promotes Haruhi to "host" as soon as he discovers her potential. Even after the truth comes out in the Club, Haruhi continues the charade and is allowed to pay off the rest of her debt working as a host; in order to accomplish this, Haruhi conceals her true identity/gender from the customers and the school.

COMMENT:

    I have watched this anime 2 years ago; I couldn’t believe the world revolves so fast nowadays. This anime has quite a unique story wherein a girl who looks like a boy joins a club of handsome and wealthy boys who soon discovers her unintentional secret and turned her into their so called “dog” or their servant. I wasn’t expecting this anime would actually give me hard time breathing. Every episode that I watch won’t fail me to laugh so hard. It’s extremely hilarious. It is also the first anime where I can’t find someone from the characters to hate simply because I love all the characters there. Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin are my favorites and I’d love to see Haruhi dating either the two of them but I highly pick Hikaru the best. Though he’s quite immature, I love how he gets jealous, it makes him even cuter. The different personalities or characterizations of the casts are very well distributed.

    I would’ve never imagine that wealthy and good-looking men like them would also be extremely funny and I would wish to hangout someone like them in the near future. HOHO!
