1 girl + 6 boys = total chaos (Ouran High School Host Club Intro)

Being with a rich guy or gal doesn’t literally mean being connected to him or her all throughout. Most of our teenagers now marry not because of what he or she feels toward the person but because of wealth and popularity. But what’s weightier, what matters the most, the inside or the outside?

There is this anime which tells us the true meaning of love. It is entitled ‘Ouran High School Host Club’. Such a lengthy title? Yes, but this is a very admirable anime. Let’s forget about the conflict between animes and Filipino movies which I mentioned in my article ‘@nime-club.com’, just bare with me as I recall what I have seen.

The story begins with an eager-to-investigate Fujioka Haruhi entering Ouran High School music room. She was astonished and at the same time wondered with what she saw—a group of boys with their charm, beauty and gentleness. This group is called the ‘Ouran High School Host Club’. As to what their group name sounds, they are hosts; they receives and entertain guests especially girls and bring joy to them. By the way, Ouran High School is a prestigious school exclusively for the wealthy people except for Haruhi. Fujioka Haruhi’s a special student, meaning she passed the examination for scholar and take note, this scholarship is solely for her. What an opportunity! Anyways, Ouran Host Club is defined as, (1) prestigious family and (2) wealth. Then, this disaster came to her life: she had just accidentally broken a vase worth 80,000,000 yen. This, in condition, they appointed her as their dog (aw! aw!). Here the story of this poor maiden with the host club begins.

Haruhi had been in pretty much troubled because she owed them 80 million yen and encountered the wealthiest students in Ouran High School : Tamaki Souh (prince type), Kyuoya Ootori (cool type), Morinozuka Takashi (wild type), Mitsukuni Huninuzuka (loli-shota type) and the Hitachiin brothers, Hikaru and Kaoru (little devil type). The host club except for Kyuoya did not at first notice Haruhi as a girl but as boy because of her ragged outfit and boyish looks. But when they got her eyeglasses, *ting*!!! Tamaki’s hundreds of bulbs turned on, one by one. What’s the meaning of that?!? Something’s fishy!

In the first season, Tamaki wasn’t sure of his feelings toward Haruhi. But Hikaru is so sure! Hikaru is falling in love with Haruhi. He and Haruhi once had a date. But wait a minute, Haruhi seems to be unaffected. Is she numb? Or does only mean Haruhi’s love is not Hikaru? If yes, for whom? Tamaki is just an idiot, a very dull person. He calls Haruhi his daughter but at the same time gets insecure when he sees Haruhi with other boys and then, he’s not sure with his feelings? What a very confusing story!

You know, for us who have seen the anime have this conclusion: ‘Tamaki is falling in love with Haruhi and vice versa’. But this is only ours. This anime is simply amazing. If you have the chance, then please watch it because you will not be disappointed. I guarantee it's unbelievable!
