ouran high school host club

Ouran High School Club is a story involving a wide range of characters,which take place primarily at Ouran High School where they all attend.The school is an exclusive institution reserved only for students from wealthy and affluent families.One exception,however, is scholarship student Haruhi Fujioka, a young girl from a lower-middle class family who tends to have a low threshold for gender identity.Because of this ( and the superfluous cost of the school uniform), Haruhi resorts to wearing long slacks ,polo shirts and a vest that resembles the male student's uniform.Therefore,upon entering school,she was at first taken as male student.One day, she begins to search through the vast campus for a quite place to study since all the libraries are filled with gossiping students.Her serach takes her to the technically unused Third Music Room where she stumnles upon the Host Club- a group of six attractive male students who spend their time charming and intertaining the school's girl for profit.During their first meeting,Haruhi is shocked at their behavior which causes her to accidentally knock over a very expensive vase valued at ¥8,000,000 ($80,000 US in the English manga). This causes Haruhi to contract a massive debt with the Host Club. In order to pay off the large sum, she is employed as the club's "dog" and is constantly ordered to do menial tasks for the members, such as serving food or cleaning up.

Eventually,Haruhi is promoted to be one of the hosts of the club as a way to pay of her huge debt.The other club members soon discover that Haruhi is a female, but since she is already accepted by the club's customers and even became one of the main attractions of the club,Haruhi is allowed(forced) to stay until she has accumulated a total of 1000 customers, when her debt would be considered paid in full.

The characters:
In the series,there are 7 main characters that are all members of the Ouran Host Club.The president of the club is Tamaki Suoh, who usually acts quite idioctic but also pulls to keep his Host Club "family"together at all times.He views himself as the dad and Haruhi as his daughter.The vice-president,otherwise known as the "mom"is Kyouya Ohtori,who takes care of the financial gain and any additional business opportunities related to the club.He is always calm and collected,silently running the club from the shadows.
Next,there are the Hitachiin brothers-Hikaru and Kaoru- twins that are always finding ways to have fun in the club whenever they get bored,which is quite often.They use their"brotherly love"act to pull in female customers.The fifth member is a short student by the name of Mitsukuni"Hunny"(or "Honey"in some fansubs) Haninozuka who apperas to be the youngest of the members but is actually one of the oldest of the group.He has an excessively cute which his customers go crazy over.He is also a master of martial arts,despite his small appearance and love for anything cute.His cousin,Takashi"Mori"Morinozuka, is the sixth member of the club who's most defining quality is that he speaks very little,and always hang around with Hunny.
The final member of the club,unlike all the others,is in fact a female students named Haruhi Fujioka who stumbled into the club one day by accident.She was initially mistaken for male and seems to have no qualms with crossdressing in order to pay off her debt to the club.
The remaining characters include the other schoolmates such as Renge Houshakuji,the self-proclaimed manageress of the Host Club,and Umehito Nekozawa,president of the nearby Dark magic Club who loves to creep out fellow school mambers.Additionally,there are Haruhi's parents,though her mother Kotoko Fujioka died when Haruhi was a child and only appears in flashback scenes.Her father,RyÒji"Ranka"Fujioka,works at an okama bar dressed as a woman.There is also an anime-only character,Èclair Tonnere,who was supposed to be Tamaki's Fiancèe via an arranged marriage.
