Ouran High School Host Club Review: Shoujo?

Since I’m extremely bored, I’ve decided to write another (or maybe half) post on Ouran High School Host Club! First, the main characters.

There! I shall introduce them by left to right order.

The guy with the specs looking all smart is Kyoya Ootori, the vice president of the host club.

The twins below him are Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, with Kaoru being the more mature one while Hikaru being the one more prone to jealousy.

Above them with the blonde hair is Tamaki Suoh, a half French half Japanese guy, president of the host club.

The one holding the bouquet of roses is Haruhi Fujioka, who is actually the only female in the club. She’s the protagonist of the whole manga.

The lil’ one beside her holding that cute bunny is Mitsukuni Haninozuka, also known affectionately as Honey. He may look really young, but he’s one of the oldest in the group.

Lastly, Takashi Morinozuka. He’s actually Honey’s bodyguard, tho’ his family is really rich as well.

SO

What is Ouran all about? The Ouran High School Host Club, as its name suggests, is a club consisting of guys catering to girls. Girls of the high school pay to chat with the handsome members of the host club. Oh yes, Ouran High is actually a school exclusively for the super rich and super famous, so the members of the host club do not actually need the money. They just wish to entertain the girls in their school for fun. The entire story starts with Haruhi stumbling upon the Host Club. She is the only non-rich, non-famous student in the entire school, gaining entrance merely through a scholarship. Unluckily (or rather luckily), she knocks over an 8 million yen vase belonging to the host club. However, at this point of time, the host club has no idea she is a girl due to her wearing of long slacks, polo shirts and vests coupled with her oversized glasses. Naturally, a girl-looking-guy would look rather cute to the Host Club. Thus, she is forced to join the club to pay off her debt. Soon later, the host club finds out that she’s a girl, and the guys, one by one, slowly but surely, start falling in love with her due to her innocence and personality. Many comical scenes happen in this Shoujo manga, many revolving around the Host Club members’ ignorance about how the poor live, unintentionally poking fun at Haruhi. (Eg. “I-IS THIS… THE LEGENDARY…. INSTANT NOODLES THE POOR EAT?)

I’ll end here for now. :)
