For richer or poorer? Ouran High school Host Club


YAY! My favourite anime and manga of all time. I love the plot. The idea of 6 rich guys in a host club is intriguing. Each one is unique in their own special way. Wait, there are actually 7 guys in the host club, just that one of them is a girl, stuck in the weirdo club to pay off her debt for smashing an expensive vase.


The Host Club dressed as caterers. From left to right: Takashi "Mori", Mitsukuni "Hunny", Haruhi, Kaoru and Hikaru, Tamaki, and Kyoya.
Quoted from wiki:
"The Ouran Private Academy encompasses kindergarten to twelfth grade. Most students come from wealthy families but, in rare occasions, special scholarships are granted to students from a lower income bracket. The school's unofficial motto is "Lineage counts first, wealth a close second," meaning students with stellar family backgrounds are given top priority over those from rich families but low social status."

Haruhi Fujioka
Lives in poverty with single, cross-dressing father. A scholarship student who can't even afford her uniforms, stumbled into the host club while finding a place to study. She looked like a guy with glasses so thick you can't see her eyeballs, cheap sweatshirt and unkempt hair. After breaking a vase and very heavily debted, she became the 'dog' in the host club until the discovered her to be a host. You could romantically link her to any characters in the host club and it would seem right. Though mainly, Tamaki (the president) would most likely to be the main character.
Now it all depends on your preferences. Choose your host.
PRINCE TYPE- Tamaki Suoh
Half french and half japanese. I love him all goofy, romantic, even his "growing mushrooms in the corner of the room". Blond, tall and handsome, certainly qualified to be a model. He never realised that he's in love with Haruhi and calls her his daughter and acts like an obsessive father. He would charm you with his tears and piano skills.
COOL TYPE- Kyoya Ootari
I secretly would place Kyoya and Haruhi as a couple. Money-minded, sly and cunning. Tamaki calls Kyoya "mom" and himself "daddy". He's resourceful and secretive.
LITTLE DEVILS- Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin
Twins :). Two identically good-looking boys. Hikaru was linked to Haruhi in the series and even dated once, with the rest of the host club in weird disguise tailing behind them. Their "brotherly love" acts causes the customers in the club to go crazy and some even fainted.
CUTE TYPE- Hunny
He's so cute that he annoys you with his bunny he carries everywhere and the mountain load of sweet stuff he consumes. Shortest in the host club (even shorter than Haruhi) despite being older. He's usually seen carried at the back of Mori senpai. You would be surprise to learn that he's an expert in martial arts.
WILD TYPE- Mori
Rarely speaks, girls are attracted at how protective he is towards Hunny and he never leaves Hunny's side.
NATURAL TYPE- Haruhi
She's got a strong customer base despite being a girl. ( Secret)
Ratings: 9/10. The anime is pretty short but the manga is still on-going.
