Ouran High School Host Club is a shoujo manga created by Bisco Hatori, which was originally serialized in LaLa from 2002 to 2010. It has a 26-episode anime adaptation by Studio Bones, which first aired in 2006.Ouran Academy is an Elaborate University High catering to the ultra, ultra-rich. Haruhi Fujioka is a frumpy working class scholarship student, a rarity at the school. While searching for a quiet place to study, Haruhi stumbles on an unused music room which turns out to be the club room for the school's "Host Club", a group of Idle Rich boys who entertain female clients in a sort of Bleached Underpants version of actual host clubs.After accidentally breaking a Renaissance-era vase that's worth 8,000,000,000¥ — far more than a working class student could possibly repay — Haruhi is forced to join the Host Club as an assistant to work off the debt. But after Haruhi proves to be a natural Host and is promoted to full member of the Host Club it becomes clear something isn't quite as it seems...The series is an Affectionate Parody of romantic shoujo series and Reverse Harems, emphatically playing with the cliches and character types inherent in both. It hardly ever takes itself seriously, but at times emotions can run quite high, making for some touching moments amid all the silliness. The manga, however, became more serious and deeper the longer it went on, though it never lost track of the comedy. The manga was licensed as part of Viz Media's "Shojo Beat" collection, and the anime was made available in North America by Funimation in October of 2008. In Australia, ABC3 has aired the anime many times. Both the manga and anime version of this series are well worth your attention, even if you're not part of the series' normal demographic.A Live-Action Adaptation began airing in Japan in July 2011, and a live-action movie was released in 2012. 2021 saw them to the stage with a 2.5D musical adaptation. There is also a Visual Novel for the PlayStation 2, which was later ported to the Nintendo DS with voices and new scenarios. Unfortunately, none of these have left Japan. | |

| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_1989b0c | comment |
Comic-Book Time: "Lovely protagonists like us are never subject to time~! (author note: there will be no moving up in grades)" Messed with in Chapter 71 by Honey, Mori and Nekozawa all lament their impending graduation in their own way, to the shock of the Genre Savvy Haruhi, who notes that Spring has begun and ended at least four times since the beginning of the 'school year.' Kyoya even mentions he wasn't sure they were allowed to graduate. Notably, the cessation of the manga's Comic-Book Time coincides with its Cerebus Syndrome reaching full onset. In general: the series ran for eight years, but only a little more than a year passed in-universe (as shown by Haruhi eventually moving up one grade a few chapters before the finale). | |

| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_19e9b150 | comment |
Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: The opening theme is used in a few places throughout the series. The show's ending theme also makes an appearance, as the ringtone Hikaru uses to I.D. when Tamaki is calling. When Hikaru is comforting Haruhi in the church (and puts his headset on her) the song plays again. There's also a slow, waltz version of it used during the closing credits scenes in the final episode. | |

Yaoi Fangirl: Renge, and many patrons to the club, especially the twins' customers. They also turn out to be the key to making Kasanoda less intimidating, once he (in on the secret) becomes Haruhi's customer. Kyoya's sister, Fuyumi, once expressed joy at the thought of "two young men bonding together beneath the stars." | |

| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_1d2400e9 | comment |
Green-Eyed Monster: Ayanokoji, in the very first episode, harrasses Haruhi for taking Tamaki's attention away from her. Hikaru towards Arai (old school friend of Haruhi) and later towards Tamaki (when noticing Haruhi's feelings for him). Tamaki is this towards Arai at first too, but later brushes it off when he takes a liking to him. Haruhi is subtly this towards Eclair in the last episodes of the anime, and more canonly so towards Kanoya in Chapters 65-68 of the manga, the latter to which she even admits in the end to have felt jealous. | |

| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: In the manga, you can see Kyoya say "I thought I wasn't going to appear in this chapter" and others pointing out that they're well aware that they're in a manga. Haruhi also seems to talk to the audience, and the twins refer to "the readers" frequently. In the third episode of the anime, Tamaki states outright that "this anime is a clearly a romantic comedy" and that therefore "Haruhi and I must be love interests!" In Kasanoda's episode, Tamaki apologizes to Mori for not having enough focus episodes but just simple one-liners now and then. | |

Yuri Fan: Notably averted in several cases, especially with Tamaki, though he was mostly worried about his love interest becoming a lesbian. It is implied that Kyoya and the twins might have planned for Haruhi to kiss a girl, but probably subverted because it was mostly to mess with Tamaki's head. Meanwhile, the Zuka Club deliberately invokes this in their young female fanbase, and it's outright stated that Haruhi's mother was a huge fan. | |

| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Tamaki thinks that it's a romantic anime in the third episode, so he and Haruhi are the protagonists and the rest of the boys are the "homosexual side cast." Somehow, while being Genre Savvy enough to know they are the protagonists, he seems to be unable to follow that statement to its conclusion: Namely, that they are love interests. | |

Family of Choice: The Host Club is this for Tamaki, to the point he assignes everyone roles within it... with Haruhi as his daughter, Kyoya as the "mother," the twins (according to one omake and the occasional brother/sister reference) as their "eldest sons" and Mori and Honey being the couple who lives next door...we wonder if Tamaki notices the Ho Yay or not. The fans sure do. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: A minor example. In both anime and manga, Ayanokoji, the girl who bullies Haruhi early on out of jealousy, is called out on by the Host Club and runs away with crocodile tears, never to be seen again (apart from a cameo in the Alice in Wonderland episode). In the live-action, Haruhi follows Ayanokoji, explaining to her that she's not mad and she wants to make up. Ayanokoji regrets her behaviour and complies. In the finale of the anime, Eclair questions Tamaki if the Host Club doesn't cause its members to sacrifice something precious such as making Kyoya's father ashamed of him and Haruhi getting less time to study for being a lawyer, next to an earlier call out by Kyoya in how Tamaki doesn't consider the expense or extensive shipping it takes to bring some of their theme costumes or accessories from other countries to their school. In the manga, none of this is ever addressed, and Kyoya's father is shown to be aware and accepting of Kyoya being in the Host Club. Also, he never makes a comment on wanting Haruhi to become Kyoya's fiancee. | |

Ironic Echo | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_237404cc | comment |
Ironic Echo: In Episode 17, Haruhi and Kyoya continually trade lines with each other in this fashion. In the first episode, Haruhi asks the girl who's been bullying her if she's jealous, causing the latter to promptly snap and make an overblown attempt of putting Haruhi in a bad light. In the last episode, she asks Eclair Tonerre the exact same question, who merely responds "My, well said." in a calm manner. (She had also asked Haruhi earlier if she was jealous.) | |

Only Sane Man: When a crossdressing female is considered the "normal one" in your club, that's really saying something. Kyoya would count on certain occasions because he's doing the nuts and bolts stuff that makes the insanity possible. | |

| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_25bc8511 | comment |
Generation Xerox: Haruhi/Tamaki resemble Ryouji/Kotoko (Haruhi's parents) a good deal in regards to their personalities, though also with some differences; Kotoko fell in love with Ryouji rather quickly (apparently it was even Love at First Sight for her) and they subsequently married after only having met a few times. Haruhi spent almost a year in the Host Club before realizing she'd fallen for Tamaki, and even then it would take a few more months before they confessed and became a couple. Kotoko also liked cute things, and was even a secret fan of the Lobelia school. | |

Oblivious to Love | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_2848e7d2 | comment |
Oblivious to Love: Haruhi. Oh boy, where do we start? When Kaoru told Haruhi he loved her she looked a little confused, probably assuming he meant he loved her as a friend. Haruhi's so oblivious that when Hikaru gets the guts to confess to her he asks "Will you go out with me? And I don't mean accompany me outside! I mean in the shojo sense!" Even then it took Haruhi a few moments to see he was asking her on a date. Even worse, when she suddenly began to blush and become flustered around Tamaki she thought it was due to a cold or that her heart was rejecting her, the idea that she could be in love hadn't even crossed her mind. A boy from her middle school, Arai, confessed to her right before they graduated. She was so oblivious she didn't realize she was shooting him down pretty viciously - and then didn't realize she was doing it again in the conversation about how it happened. Hikaru as well. It takes him a damn long time to figure out. Tamaki is probably the worst offender, going so far as to think his constant fawning for Haruhi could only mean that he sees her as his daughter. | |

Defrosting Ice Queen: Lady Eclair in the anime is introduced as cold-hearted but then it's revealed she was already defrosted by Tamaki's mother, who is her caretaker in addition to being her friend. She is then defrosted further by Tamaki himself. Tamaki's grandmother in the manga begins as an Evil Matriarch but is also defrosted by Tamaki with thoughtful action on a piano. This is Tamaki's main mode of defrosting. | |

If that were the case then why did God create Adam and Eve?!" | |

(The Squee of many a fangirl was heard.) Tamaki looks stunned, but then goes off saying that he's so happy because he's in love with himself, too! He takes this and runs with it. Haruhi looks mortified, but then she sits up and we find out it was All Just a Dream, much to her relief. | |

Shipper on Deck: At the end of the anime, Tamaki's father and Kyoya's father state that it would be nice if they could become friends as their sons are... but they amiably state that perhaps it isn't possible because they each want Haruhi to marry their own son in the future. This doesn't take place in the manga. Kaoru plays this part for Hikaru/Haruhi in the anime. He purposely puts them in several situations where it's just the two of them together, particularly the date episode. | |

Adapted Out: Satoshi, Mori's little brother, never appears in the anime while he appeared together with Honey's little brother Chika in the manga. The 25th episode of the anime also adapted out Hikaru and Kaoru's parents who showed up at this part in the manga. | |

Discriminate and Switch | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_342f0ffa | comment |
Discriminate and Switch: When Haruhi didn't take her dad to Take Your Parent To School Day, her dad and his co-worker assumed it was because he's a transvestite. Later, the co-worker brought her dad home piss-drunk due to how upset he was about not being told about the school event, which causes Haruhi to reveal that she didn't say a thing because she felt he was overworked and wanted him to use the opportunity to rest. | |

Hikaru and Kaoru were like this pre-Host Club. They once played with a girl's affections before giving her a "The Reason You Suck" Speech. Hikaru's still a bit of one during the Karuizawa arc, and, according to Haruhi, is naturally much more of one than Kaoru provided you get them on their own. | |

Twin Test | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_3e0ea87f | comment |
Twin Test: Plays the trope both for laughs and for drama. Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin play the "Which One is Hikaru and Which One is Kaoru?" game, both as a form of entertainment in the club and with their friends as a personal form of entertainment. Most people fail, including their parents, so it's a shock to both of them that Haruhi passes the test, every single time. According to her, Hikaru is "one level meaner," an idea that proves itself to be true as the twins start to differentiate themselves more (to the point that Kaoru switches to apologize to someone Hikaru blew up at at one point).Haruhi consistently passing makes both Hikaru and Kaoru develop romantic feelings for her. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Having had feelings for her themselves, especially Hikaru, the twins have some lines towards the end where they admit that they don't fully support Tamaki and Haruhi as a couple, but hoped "in the corner of their hearts" that they would break up. Of course, being best friends doesn't automatically mean you'll get over your feelings and not hope that your Love Interest's relationship with someone else won't work out. Hikaru and Kaoru still manage to keep their emotions in check enough however that they still help Tamaki unprompted on his date with Haruhi. | |

Love Hurts | |

Love Hurts: For Hikaru it did. It caused twin trouble and also trouble with Tamaki. Tamaki has more of a "family love hurts" angle considering the situation between his mom, dad, and grandmother. His mother, trying to explain their situation to him in a child-friendly way, tells him explicitly that Tamaki's grandmother hates her "because mama fell in love with papa," leaving him with a clear but subconscious fear that falling in love for real will ruin the relationships he already has. | |

In the bonus chapters taking place after the main story has ended, Haruhi is shown to let her hair grow long again, possibly to symbolize her becoming more feminine after having fallen in love with Tamaki and eventually dating him. However, it's not in a Hime Cut as before, but a more natural style (which every fan agreed suited her much better). | |

| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_4b9a9cef | comment |
Children Do the Housework: Because her mother Kotoko's is dead and her father Ryouji/Ranka's long work hours, Haruhi Fujioka does most of the work at home, cleaning and cooking for Ryouji and otherwise trying to take care of him, even telling him not to overwork himself for her. | |

One Head Taller | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_4bc2095b | comment |
One Head Taller: Word of God says Tamaki is 28cm/11 inches taller than Haruhi, but he is often depicted as way, way taller than Haruhi in the manga. All the host club members (save Honey, of course) are taller than Haruhi by a few heads. Visually, Hikaru and Kaoru look closest to one head taller, though they're only supposedly six inches taller. | |

| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_4d0372b | comment |
Everybody Knew Already: Averted in Chapter 83, where not a single person is surprised when they see Haruhi in a party dress... and are then dumbfounded when they learn that she really is a girl and not a crossdressing boy in love with Tamaki. Played straight with Tamaki's backstory, which their customers reveals in one of the final chapters to have been aware of, but they were fine with it because of his kind nature. | |

Thanks for the Mammary: Mori may only have picked Haruhi up by her underarms and was alerted to her femininity by her lack of weight and soft body, or it MIGHT have been Thanks for the Mammaries (look at Mori's change in expression and judge for yourself.)◊ Also implied in the school physical episode. Tamaki grabs up Haruhi in an enthusiastic hug; within seconds, she's making an angry sound and demanding that he stop touching "those places." | |

Smug Snake: Lady Eclair. Have you seen that woman smirk? It's enough to make you dislike her even after she's revealed as a sympathetic rival. You just feel a little bad about it. The Newspaper Club President, who's also a Straw Hypocrite. He takes full advantage of Tamaki's pity on the club to stir up trouble for him and the others. Princess Ayanokouji revels in the trouble she causes for Haruhi. When the latter goes to get her stuff from the fountain, the Princess is all smiles. | |

| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_4fc92b68 | comment |
Suddenly Always Knew That: Honey comes out of nowhere and single-handedly beats 20 grown men in SWAT team gear. It turns out he's from a family of martial arts experts. It's lampshaded by Tamaki. Inverted when Haruhi faces off against two thugs at the beach and is immediately tossed off a bluff into the water without getting so much as a slap in to defend herself. Tamaki sarcastically cites this trope while berating her for endangering herself so recklessly. | |

Down the Rabbit Hole: Not only does Haruhi compare the experience of being in the Host Club to being in another world, but the door to the music room heavily symbolizes this in several episodes. There is also an episode that directly parodies Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. By the end, she says that around here, it's hard to tell when she's asleep or awake. | |

Dark Is Not Evil: Everything about Nekozawa is ridiculously "dark". He lives in a dark Gothic mansion, wears a black cloak, listens to ominous, creepy music, deals with the occult, is surrounded by black roses and even his maid and butler look like vampiric murderers. He's even light sensitive. In the manga, his club and it's members even join in on the fun by looking like straight out of a horror flick set in victorian England. He's actually a pretty nice guy. | |

| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_5a399cff | comment |
Malingering Romance Ploy: One episode features a variation where someone fakes sick for someone else's romance attempt. It starts off with Kaoru pretending to be sick so that he could set Hikaru up with Haruhi on a date. Hilarity Ensues with Tamaki getting jealous and the rest of the club trying to help the date go well. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: The anime is generally quite loyal to the manga, though things are blown even further out of the water, and a couple of subtle character alterations do stand out — for example, making the twins and Kyoya more sympathetic earlier on and, strangely enough, making Honey less so, as the end of the episode "Chika's Down with Honey Declaration" deliberately inverts the manga chapter's denouement. Also, bananas and strawberries. In the anime, only Hikaru falls for Haruhi; in the manga, Kaoru falls for her as well. The live action drama has some of this too. Renge is only seen in one episode, and the Halloween contest, the Refreshing Point competition at the hostel, The Zuka Club, and Kasanoda are nowhere to be seen. In the manga, when Tamaki first comes to Japan he's given a puppy as a welcome gift by his new staff, a Golden Retriever which he names Antoinette. In the anime, she's a dog he randomly buys at a pet store in Episode 17. In the anime, Haruhi is told as early as Episode 25 (which is the equivalent of Chapter 25-26 of the manga) that her debt has been paid. In the manga, the last time her debt is brought up is in Chapter 75, to which it still isn't paid, and Tamaki offers to pay the remaining sum for her. The live-action also skips some of the story to include the part where Haruhi realizes she's in love with Tamaki, which doesn't happen until Chapter 57 in the manga. The "Alice in Wonderland" episode is incredibly toned down and shortered in the anime, having been longer and even wackier in the manga. For one, the story alternates between the twins and Tamaki also serving as Alice, not just Haruhi. As the twins explain, "Haruhi isn't curious enough to be Alice, she would never have followed the rabbit." In the beach episode in the manga, Nekozawa frequently shows up, and it's even his family's hotel that the Host Club spends the night in. The anime completely omits Nekozawa from the episode. | |

Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_5be919ae | comment |
Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario: Happens more than once, but the most tear jerk-worthy incident is probably the one with Hikaru and Kaoru in the manga. They both realize their feelings for Haruhi and, because of their different attitudes regarding it, ends up temporarily separating from each other by Kaoru moving into Honey's house and Hikaru into Mori's, along with hardly speaking to each other at school. Eventually however, Kaoru tells Hikaru that he believes his feelings for Haruhi turned out to be more platonic, and he'll be cheering Hikaru on from that point. He then proceeds to tell Hikaru they should start separating more such as get different bedrooms and quit their "twincest" act at the club, mainly because he secretly feels he's "in the way" for Hikaru and only by separating from him, "Hikaru can be free". In the morning, Kaoru finds Hikaru having dyed his hair dark, explaining to Kaoru that they're still twins which is a gift, and forcing separation upon themselves isn't a solution, rather, if they continue to grow together while also embracing their differences more then "a future twice as fun as other people's awaits us! Didn't you know... that's why twins are born?" complete with a bromantic Headbutt of Love to mark the end of the scene, and their dilemma. | |

Twin Telepathy | |

During the test of courage chapter, they seem to manifest Twin Telepathy out of nowhere when they get separated and Kaoru gets locked in a classroom. Hikaru somehow manages to find Kaoru and explains that he had heard his twin's voice telling him where he was, even though Kaoru had no way of telling his twin his whereabouts and Hikaru could not have found out through someone else. | |

Crossdresser | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_5e4fa749 | comment |
Crossdresser: Played with until its stitching ruptured. It's played straight with Ranka and Haruhi, subverted with Benibara, parodied/played for laughs with the host boys (consider that they are thoroughly bishounen and would have no trouble looking like girls in the average anime) and Kasanoda, and (shockingly) played somewhat seriously when Ranka appears without having shaved or made himself up. Oh, and lampshaded when the girls of Ouran talk about how much they'd love to see Haruhi-kun in girls' clothing. Way too much fun. In the end, when Haruhi reveals she's a girl by way of showing up in a dress and wig, people just assume she's a gay boy really into crossdressing. | |

That Syncing Feeling: Haruhi gets kidnapped by the Lobelia's Zuka Club and is made to sing in their play. Despite being poor at music, she sings nearly perfectly at rehearsal, which surprises her dad and Host Club members (who are spying on her.) Then a girl accidentally unplugs the CD player and it's shown that it's all lipsync. Points for Haruhi continuing to lipsync and not even notice that the music's stopped. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_60547993 | comment |
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: In the anime Eclair lets Tamaki jump off the bridge after Haruhi. In the manga Kaoru tells Haruhi he loves her, but he has someone else more important to him that he can't hurt. He steps out of the battlefield and lets Hikaru be the one to fight for Haruhi. In Chapter 76 Hikaru says that this new obstacle in Haruhi and Tamaki's friendship gives him an advantage against Tamaki in winning her heart. Kaoru looks shocked and apalled until Hikaru says he was just kidding and says "Don't you think it would be a waste if I said I don't really wish for this to happen?" It's quite clear he doesn't want to see either of his friends miserable. In Chapter 80 When Haruhi says she's going to be an obstacle to their rescue and that she's having doubts about her abilities, Hikaru tells her that it hurts, but she's the one who knows Tamaki the best and vice versa and because of that, she must go escort him to the airport. Awwwww. | |

Race for Your Love: Or Race For Your Mother, in this case. In Chapter 80, the entire Host Club, including all their customers and the people Tamaki's helped throughout the course of the series, ensures that he arrives at the airport in time to see his mother for the first time in three years, before she leaves again. Fittingly, it leads to a romantic scenario however as Tamaki and Haruhi finally confess and become a couple at the airport after Anne Sophie leaves. | |

Epiphany Therapy | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_6861146e | comment |
Epiphany Therapy: The Host Club and Haruhi especially gives Tamaki this in Chapter 68 of the manga, making him realize that no matter what happens, if he (unbeknowst to Haruhi) decides to pursue her romantically, the Host Club will not be broken. This is certainly one of the more heavy-handed examples of this trope, considering how oblivious its recipient is. Haruhi gives this to all three Suohs towards the end of the manga: Tamaki, his father and his grandmother, by making them aware that the main source behind their family's issues is that none of them ever talks about their problems between one another. | |

Meaningful Name: Tamaki means "ring/circle," which he points out to his grandmother in Chapter 77, and that his father had intentionally named him so to become someone who would "make a circle overcoming everything". Honey and his brother have more a case of meaningful nicknames; Mitsukuni Haninozuka (sounds like, you guessed it, "Honey"), and Yazuchika Haninozuka, who turns out to be a fan of baby animals, specially chicks. | |

Beware the Silly Ones | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_6c75e0e4 | comment |
Beware the Silly Ones: Tamaki's about as hammy as they can get, but make him worried about someone he cares about? He'll make you sorely regret it, and not always in a comedy style. In the manga, he actually punches one of the guys he believes to have harassed Haruhi early on, to the point blood is shown. In the anime this was toned down to pinning him against the wall. | |

Babies Ever After | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_6d9bc945 | comment |
Babies Ever After: Not shown in either anime or manga, but the author hints in the final volume that Tamaki and Haruhi are the first out of the Host Club members to have children. Mori apparently got married and had kids too (and he'd be the first to congratulate Tamaki and Haruhi when they became parents). | |

"Shut Up" Kiss | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_6eeba1f2 | comment |
"Shut Up" Kiss: Kaoru kisses Hikaru on the cheek in the middle of recieving a scolding from him, to "share" the cheek kiss he had earlier given Haruhi. Hikaru is left somewhat stunned. After Haruhi's confessed to Tamaki, both of them have a freak out to which Haruhi ends up saying she's not sure if she loves him or not. Before she can barely finish the sentence, Tamaki pulls her in for a kiss and asks her if she disliked it, and whether she did or not should make her know.note She shyly admits that she didn't dislike it. | |

Iconic Outfit | |

Iconic Outfit: Haruhi's first appearance is a wee bit... unflattering. She goes back to her frumpy outfit in Chapter 76 of the manga to protest the banning of the host club and send a message to Tamaki, who has been forbidden to talk to her. Looking back at Chapter 1 with the same outfit it's easier to see some Art Evolution, too. | |

In a platonic sense, Tamaki considers Kyouya his best friend, with the feeling eventually having become mutual. | |

Bleached Underpants: Tamaki has a rather sanitized and family-friendly concept of what a host club is. While the gist is the same - offering girls the opportunity to spend time with attractive young men who pamper and flatter them - in Tamaki's version the guys do it out of an honest interest in making their clients happy, rather than working for the commission they earn by encouraging their clients to buy drink after expensive drink in return for their time. | |

Art Reflects Personality | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_74217bfa | comment |
Art Reflects Personality: In a Kyouya-focused episode, we see pieces of a flashback of him creating a painting within a frame that is already handing on the wall, symbolizing how his personal growth is always confined by the framework of his family's wealth and tradition. Towards the end of the episode, when it is revealed that Kyouya pulled off a scheme to essentially take over his entire family's estate (over the heads of his father and several older brothers), we also see how that painting ended up: at some point, he went over the frame and started painting on the blank white wall behind it, creating a massive artwork of which the frame was only a small part. | |

Team Kids | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_7825974f | comment |
Team Kids: Discussed. Tamaki declares himself the Team Dad while Kyoya is Team Mom, making the rest of the host club their "kids". (Often Zig-Zagged, since Tamaki often acts more childish than the rest of the group.) In particular, Tamaki insists that the reason he is so possessive of Haruhi is that she is his "daughter" and he has to protect her. Multiple characters poke holes in this narrative throughout the series, until Tamaki finally starts to recognize his feelings for Haruhi are actually romantic. Of the rest of the group, Honey (who is older than Tamaki and Kyoya but is a Token Mini-Moe) and the twins (who are mischievous and somewhat immature) play the trope mostly straight while Mori and Haruhi mostly avert it. | |

The Faceless: In the anime at least, Tamaki's mother's face is not shown in flashbacks or pictures including her. This goes for the same moments in the manga, though her face is eventually revealed later on. Likewise with Kyoya's two brothers, who are often mentioned and shown in flashbacks, but whose faces are never shown. In the manga, his brother Akito eventually gets a few brief appearances, though the third brother remains unseen. | |

He has the Face of a Thug, is the successor of a large Yakuza group (and trained to be thus), dresses like a Delinquent and easily aggravated, especially by his appearance and its effect on others. Because of this, he suffers from social isolation despite the fact that he's really a Nice Guy underneath it all. | |

Expository Hairstyle Change | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_7efd2e30 | comment |
Expository Hairstyle Change: Initially parodied by Hikaru and Kaoru when they dye their hair pink and blue after a staged fight because they were bored. Played straight later in the manga when Hikaru dyes his hair darker after he and Kaoru have a real fight. This is a big turning point for them and shows that they permanently want to be seen as separate people. They even move into separate bedrooms. Haruhi's hair is a mess on the first appearance, which adds to her masculine and poor appearance. The Host Club gives her a hairstyle which makes her look boyishly cute. Flashbacks show she used to wear her hair in a waist-length Hime Cut which made her look very feminine indeed. The original cut is later explained away as being a self-inflicted emergency cut after Haruhi got gum in her hair. In the bonus chapters taking place after the main story has ended, Haruhi is shown to let her hair grow long again, possibly to symbolize her becoming more feminine after having fallen in love with Tamaki and eventually dating him. However, it's not in a Hime Cut as before, but a more natural style (which every fan agreed suited her much better). | |

She eventually gets better in the manga due to Tamaki's compassion. | |

Dysfunction Junction | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_820ac3c5 | comment |
Dysfunction Junction: They’re pretty mild compared to some of the lengths this trope can go to, but all of the main characters and many minor characters have major personality quirks because of, or are entirely driven by, bizarre or unhappy childhoods or events in their family history (with the arguable exception of Mori). Played with in Honey and Chika's case. Initially it seems like Chika is, like the rest of the Haninozuka family, leery of Honey's taste for sweets and cute things and disrespectful of his desire to be himself, and the Host club tries to get him to see that Honey's acceptance of himself is good for him and fix the brotherly divide. It seems like it might work, until Chika explains that while he does find Honey's cute-related interests to be mildly annoying, it's more the fact that Honey eats three to eleven multi-tiered cakes by himself every night, without gaining weight, and Chika can't figure out how he's doing it, concluding that he has to be an alien who's replaced his real brother. | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni: They aren't quite colour coded, but Tamaki and Kyoya seem to embody this trope rather well (cool-headed, intellectual Chessmaster vs. exhuberant, people-focused Sheltered Aristocrat). Honey-senpai and his younger brother Yasuchika are Colour-Coded for Your Convenience with this in mind in one episode. The younger brother is far more serious than happy-go-lucky Honey. | |

| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_8ace85ef | comment |
Chiefly of romance, high school and other clichés and conventions found in the typical shoujo. The Hosts all intentionally play "types" of love interests common in shoujo series (from Tamaki's poetry-waxing princely charm to Kyoya's standoffish mysteriousness), and Haruhi often plays as the Audience Surrogate highlighting just how larger-than-life the club's zaniness gets. | |

Wham Episode: Chapter 75, where Tamaki informs the Host Club that he's quitting after a talk with his grandmother, and tells Haruhi her debt has been paid so she's free to quit as well. It continues with Tamaki for the first time ever speaking coldly to Haruhi when she confronts him about his decision, and even shouting for her to "Shut up and leave! You're being a bother!" with a pissed expression when she attempts to talk directly to his father, leaving Haruhi to tears once she's at home (next to the fact that it starts to thunder.) The author might have even thought it became too harsh, for in the volume Tamaki's expression is changed from pissed to a more upset one, and his wording is toned down somewhat. | |

The short bonus story where we're introduced to a Honey grown up to the size of the twins in only two months. The Host Club are shocked to find out he stayed as short as he was because Kyoya had been feeding him anti-growth pills, because if he'd been tall he'd just overlap as the Dumb Blonde with Tamaki. It then cuts to Haruhi telling them all it's what she dreamt last night, to which the guys, especially Tamaki and Kyoya, aren't very pleased. It ends with Kyoya asking a frightened Haruhi if they can have a serious talk about how she perceives his character. | |

Fireball Eyeballs: The female customers get flaming eyes when they're really fired up about something—usually a particularly adorable Moe moment involving the hosts. It turns into a somewhat bizarre plot-point during the episodes starring Ritsu Kasanoda, a young Yakuza Boss whose icy glare normally freezes anyone who comes near him. He winds up being Sweet on Polly Oliver, causing all the girls to get fired up about the perceived Yaoi romance, and even when he turns his icy glare on them, their fiery intensity melts it on the spot. | |

Always by his side is Mori, his quiet and intimidating cousin-slash-unofficial bodyguard, who looks out for his well-being. Played with in that Honey is an extremely capable martial artist by himself and Mori is actually Bodyguarding a Badass, Honey just chooses not to act like it, and that Mori is a genuine Nice Guy who's more defending Honey from himself, like when he forgets to brush his teeth and gets a cavity. | |

Back for the Finale: Some characters from past episodes reappeared in the final anime episode. In the last chapters of the manga as well. Even the Zuka Club makes a brief appearance in the penultimate chapter just to accidentally intrude on Haruhi and Tamaki's date. | |

School Festival | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_9a1de231 | comment |
School Festival: With Ouran being an Elaborate University High for rich students, their cultural festival is very elaborate and uses a lot of expensive set-ups. In the manga it's explained that most of the students are heirs to various companies, so the cultural festival is meant for them to demonstrate their skills in management and budgeting through how well they set up and organize the activities. The anime's final two episodes involves the school's sports festival. Of course, being Ouran, the festival is over the top. The typical 'bread eating race' is turned into a bread dining event, the bean bags are made by a famous designer, and the cavalry race is scrapped since they think that it would require actual horses. The manga has another cultural festival where the goal is to cook curry. Each stop requires a test after which the participants can choose an ingredient from a selection of items. The tasks range from the Hikaru-Kaoru-Guessing Game over the Black Magic Club's quiz on Curses and their origins to Kyouya's sadistic crossword puzzle. | |

| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_9cbf01d6 | comment |
Stay in the Kitchen: Invoked by Kyoya on Haruhi in the infamous "Merit Scene" and Justified: after she proved she was too weak to defend herself despite rushing into a situation without calling for help, Kyoya makes it clear to Haruhi that thinking that her sex doesn't matter is a dangerously naive stance to hold, since she's clearly not strong enough to defend herself against the bigger and stronger men she's surrounded by. Plus, by being half naked and on top of her, he implicitly means that it wouldn't be that difficult to rape her as well, but Kyoya had no intention of doing such a thing to Haruhi, and she knows it. In the end, the point is made. | |

Single-Minded Twins | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_9ccedbed | comment |
Single-Minded Twins: The twins, who zigzag this trope depending on the situation. It's usually subverted whenever the camera focuses on them and played straight for comedic segments and during other character's focuses. They use this as a joke in-universe. They spend so much time together that they know the routine, but when they aren't acting, their real personalities show through. Also a source of tension for them. People assume that they're this, even going as far as to be happy with the idea of dating one twin when they'd initially confessed their love to the other, and they've been perpetually lonely since no one seems to care that, despite their looks and close relationship, they're not exactly the same person. Tamaki and Haruhi are the first to really start changing this. The "Which One's Hikaru" game initially started as a genuine question to see if potential friends could actually tell them apart or not — or if they even cared enough to try. Played straight with their maids, in the anime. Of their six total lines in the anime, five are delivered in perfect unison and they're always attached at the hip. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The anime does this with deliberate heavy-handedness in the first episode, framing several shots to fit the vase Haruhi is going to break into them, complete with an arrow blatantly pointing it out, long before it actually happens. At one point in the manga, Kaoru mentions how he and Hikaru always likes the same things and because of it, he wonders what they would do if they someday liked something there only existed one example of. Not long after, he realizes that both he and Hikaru are in love with Haruhi. Eventually though, Kaoru figures his feelings for Haruhi aren't as strong as Hikaru's, and he pulls back. In Episode 10, when Haruhi's speaking fondly of her mother, Tamaki briefly gets a sad expression on his face and turns all awkward. One might have just assumed he felt sad for her sake, until it turns out he's forbidden from seeing his own mother ever again. Haruhi speaking of her mother in such a manner probably triggered him to be reminded of it. When Tamaki's grandmother is first introduced in the manga, there's a very subtle hint towards her hidden kind self: when Yuzuru (Tamaki's father) points out to her that it's the first time she's referred to Tamaki as his son, and she gets a subtle flustered reaction because of it. | |

| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_9e1548b4 | comment |
Old Retainer: Mori to Honey - the group even envisioned them in appropriate period-costumes when explaining the Morinozuka/Haninozuka family relationship. Subverted in that, despite Mori looking a lot older than Honey, they're the same age. Tetsuya comes close to filling this role for Kasanoda; though he's only been with him for a few years, he certainly plays the part. Shima to Tamaki - in the manga, [she not only helps Tamaki realize what he wants to do with his life, she helps the Host Club get to Tamaki to take him to his mother at the airport. In the anime, she's the one who convinces Kyoya that the Host Club should stop Tamaki from quitting school and and going off to France with Eclair since she thinks Tamaki's mother wouldn't want him to do that. | |

With Ouran being an Elaborate University High for rich students, their cultural festival is very elaborate and uses a lot of expensive set-ups. In the manga it's explained that most of the students are heirs to various companies, so the cultural festival is meant for them to demonstrate their skills in management and budgeting through how well they set up and organize the activities. | |

Fish out of Water: Haruhi, every time she's confronted with one of the more outrageous aspects of the club's ultra-rich lifestyle. Conversely, the boys often show fish out of water tendencies when they step out of their world to visit Haruhi in hers. Even uber-cool Kyoya is ultimately perplexed by some of the commoner things at the trade exhibition. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_b06bbf4b | comment |
Be Careful What You Wish For: Both in and out of universe: everyone thought/expected that whenever Tamaki'd get around to realize his true feelings for Haruhi, he'd get a grip on himself and become more mature towards her, which he does... at first. A flashback shows him hilariously freaking out recalling how many times he called himself her father, thinking how much of an idiot he had been because of it. Afterwards he appears to have grown out of his said idiocy, only it turns out to have been a Heroic BSoD instead. After coming out of that however, he turns into a bigger idiot than he was before (again, surprising people both in and out of universe), as a result of celebrating his "new self" who "knows the meaning of love", bragging about how Haruhi most likely returns his feelings, or even if she doesn't, it's just a "love test made for him by God", which he rubs in all of the guys' faces, especially Hikaru's. Then again (and thankfully), it only lasts for two chapters before he calms down. | |

| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_b0bce7aa | comment |
Selective Obliviousness: Tamaki thinks of Haruhi as his daughter, believing his love for her to be platonic when it's actually romantic. In the manga, this is eventually explained to stem from a deep family complex rooted in his childhood, where his parents' romance caused his family to be broken. Because of this, he believes (albeit unconsciously) that if any romantic relations were to occur within his Host Club whom he proclaimed his own family, the same would happen to them. | |

Twins Are Special | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_b2c3202b | comment |
Twins Are Special: Hikaru and Kaoru's character arcs revolve around allowing others inside the world they've created around each other. Flashbacks show the twins as being reclusive and exclusive, believing that no one besides each other can fully understand them. It's not until Tamaki and Haruhi come around that they begin to try to let others see the real them and not the brotherly act they put on to push people away. During the test of courage chapter, they seem to manifest Twin Telepathy out of nowhere when they get separated and Kaoru gets locked in a classroom. Hikaru somehow manages to find Kaoru and explains that he had heard his twin's voice telling him where he was, even though Kaoru had no way of telling his twin his whereabouts and Hikaru could not have found out through someone else. | |

Bare Midriffs Are Feminine | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_b2ed4736 | comment |
Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: There are a couple of instances where the guys in the Host Club have Imagine Spots where Haruhi is in a frilly bikini, which is far more blatantly feminine than how she normally dresses and something she wouldn't be caught dead wearing to begin with. "Jungle Pool SOS" is set in a tropical environment, but Haruhi is wearing shorts and a hooded shirt. In sharp contrast, when Renge shows up, rather than the long flowing dress she normally wears, she's wearing a bikini. She also has strange markings on her belly; when Hikaru and Kaoru ask about them, she comments that she's cosplaying as Quon Kisaragi. In "Haruhi in Wonderland", part of the Alice in Wonderland homage includes the Nekozawa siblings picking and eating mushrooms growing under Kyouya, who is the caterpillar. The mushroom Kirimi eats causes her to age up from elementary school-age into a teenager; her shirt doesn't grow with her, so it goes from completely covering her to fully exposing her midriff. | |

Sentai: In one episode, Renge is seen hosting a live Sentai show, apparently created by her, which features characters ("Hosuto Burakku"/"Host Black") based on the host club members. The Physical Exam episode references Kamen Rider and Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger right after each other. Volume 5 depicts each host member this way, complete with pose. Referenced in the Beach Episode of the anime. While trying to figure out Haruhi's fear, Mori approaches her with a harpoon. Her response? "Mori, uh, you're my sempai, not a sentai." The words "A pun...?" also appear on screen (it being a Woolseyism of the Mori/mori pun in Japanese). | |

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_b77808f2 | comment |
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: An extra in the final volume, though Bisco stated they were more like ideas and not set in stone. Mori's little brother decides to form a new Host Club with Chika in "our brothers and Tamaki's legacy," but thanks to Chika only complying to join if animals are included, it becomes a zoo club instead. Honey and Reiko get married after an awkward hand language proposal by Reiko. Hikaru and Kaoru get the little sister they always wanted, and they enter a business of fashion and design together. Mei and Kasanoda are strongly hinted to have become a couple. Mei also becomes a fashion designer while Kasanoda runs a flower shop. Mori got married as well, and the author states she thought he'd be a popular and splendid family head. Kyoya's fate on whether he was recognized to be a more suitable successor to his father than his brothers is left unresolved, because the author thought it was "always a future matter." She also thought he'd end up marrying a girl who'd bring merit to his family, although she also hopes that love would eventually sprout in their relationship''. Oh, and he got a cat that Hotta (his assistant) found. Tamaki and Haruhi get married after Tamaki asks her father for approval, and Mei mentions in one of the panels that Haruhi became pregnant (a few years down the line). The author also states that she thinks they were the first out of all the members to have children. | |

Maybe Ever After: The anime doesn't doesn't definitively state whether Haruhi will end up with Tamaki or Hikaru, though it does give some pretty strong hints. With Kyoya's father saying he likes her for Kyoya too...another relatively strong contender? | |

Color Failure | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_ba0a370c | comment |
Color Failure: Usually Tamaki, but most of the characters have had one of these moments. Haruhi has also done this multiple times from the beginning: when she broke the vase and found out how much it was worth as well as when she finds out the Host Club followed her to the inn where she was working. Happens a fair amount to the twins and sometimes Hani and Mori when Kyoya points out something about Haruhi's situation. Haruhi can fall victim to it thanks to Kyoya as well herself. Tamaki, of course, is highly susceptible to these same colour failures. Kyoya himself is subjected once or twice when everyone is (such as when Yabu is said to be headed to the special boy's clinic or when Kirimi points out a "reverse harem"), once even having a crack appear in his glasses. | |

Accidental Kiss: Set up deliberately by Kyoya in the first volume of the manga, as well as the second episode of the anime. With the help of a banana peel, he sets up Haruhi to kiss Kanako on the lips instead of the cheek as planned—revenge on Tamaki for calling him the "homosexual supporting cast." In Chapter 72 between Haruhi and Tamaki. They play it cool after it happens at first, and it isn't until out of each other's sight that they simultaneously freak out. | |

Happily Married: Haruhi's parents, Ranka and Kotoko (when she was alive). Ranka is no longer attracted to women because he was that in love with her. Although not married, Tamaki's parents appear to have this sort of dynamic despite the situation. Hikaru and Kaoru's parents are also happy together and we're told they eventually have another child, giving the twins the little sister they wanted. The author states at the end of the final volume that Honey and Reiko, Tamaki and Haruhi, and Mori and his wife are all happily married in the future. | |

Irony | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: Tamaki spends some time of the show early on fantasising about a girly Haruhi and trying to transform her into such, and failing, simply for comedic purpose for the reader/viewer. However, as the story progresses and Haruhi finds herself in love with him (while he remains completely clueless to this), she gradually turns more into a woman, all of her own (and long after Tamaki stopped caring if she did). Benibara from the Zuka club points this out in Chapter 82, shortly after Haruhi and Tamaki have become a couple, that she now "completely looks like a girl". So in the end, Tamaki did succeed in making Haruhi more feminine, it just happened when he wasn't trying to. Also, when Haruhi first realizes her feelings for Tamaki, she briefly gets depressed when thinking how she looks like a boy, and subsequently thinks how Tamaki only sees her as his daughter. Look what you did, Tamaki. This is played straight when a transfer student named Kanoya arrives at their school, who is introduced when Tamaki saves her from getting kicked by a horse, causing her to crush on him and continuously sticking with him the following days. The rest of the Host Club notice she bears some distinct physical resemblance to Haruhi, and to add to it, she's completely onboard with Tamaki's "romantic fantasies" they present to her, making them realise it's the "real-life version" of the imaginary Haruhi in Tamaki's mind. Tamaki, however, states he doesn't think they're similar at all, and shows no interest in her whatsoever. In an early chapter, an author note states "I can't see Haruhi and Tamaki getting together." The second-to-last page of the entire series is of Haruhi and Tamaki on their wedding day, with an author note stating "Of course, I think the two will get married." Also, when Tamaki keeps referring to himself and Haruhi getting married after they've become a couple, Haruhi frantically reminds him that they're too young and marriage is far away in the future. However, jugding by the bonus page that actually shows them getting married they don't appear to have aged much, and if the online translation of the "Ghost Special" where they're all college students is to be trusted, Tamaki is referred to as Haruhi's husband there, meaning they waited no longer than two years. Awww. The first Host Club member to get married is Honey! To a member of the Dark Magic Club! Didn't see that one coming, did you? | |

It Runs in the Family | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_c63e5338 | comment |
It Runs in the Family: Haruhi and her dad's penchant for cross-dressing and Tamaki and his dad's ability to sweet-talk anyone. Tamaki apparently inherited the interests in kotatsus from his mother. Hikaru and Kaoru's mother also enjoys playing games just as they do (she happens to enjoy the "Which one is Hikaru?" game). They also inherited their mother's (and badass grandma's) affinity for fashion design. Tamaki and his grandmother both appreciate music and historical samurai dramas, this is what brings his grandmother out of her depression and helps her to appreciate her grandson. Tamaki's father also dabbles in the Corner of Woe, although his versions tend to be at least a little more watered down As Haruhi lampshades towards the end of the series, Tamaki, his father and his grandmother are all similar in how none of them confronts their problems by openly talking about them, but hides behind masks and attempts to cover over it in ultimately self-hurting ways. Haruhi's mother also fell for an energetic, emotional guy with idiot tendensies, and realized it after he kissed her goodbye on the porch of her home... Honey's little brother may not have any interest in cakes and plush animals as he says, but present him with baby animals, and his self-control will drop just as quickly. | |

Fear Is Normal: In "The Sun, the Sea, and the Host Club", the guys have been trying to find out what Haruhi is truly scared of. At the end, Haruhi hides in the closet, not wanting to admit to Tamaki that she has a Fear of Thunder. Tamaki instantly understands because she was raised not to depend on others, so he tells her not to be ashamed of it and that she is not alone. She gladly accepts the invitation to cling to him. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: To RahXephon, of all things. Renge cosplays as Quon Kisaragi in episode 7, who is known for saying "Lala"... which is the magazine Ouran is published in. Could possibly be a shoutout to Haruhi's seiyuu, too, as one of Maaya Sakamoto's earlier seiyuu roles was in RahXephon. The fact that Studio BONES animated both series is also a factor. Fullmetal Alchemist, in form of a ball looking like SD Ed's head. Renge has a "Moe Note". In the Beach Episode the twins call Haruhi the Princess of the Valley of the Wind as she is the only one not being afraid of a millipede. In Episode 8, when trying to see if Haruhi is afraid of the dark, Honey has both of them locked inside the Ootori's private police's truck. This results in Honey screaming " Kurai yo semai yo kowai yo" ("It's dark, it's cramped, I'm scared!"), Shutaro Mendo's trademark phrase when in dark, claustrophobic situations in Urusei Yatsura. The Dating Sim Renge's obsessed with is called Ukidoki Memorial, in an obvious reference to Tokimeki Memorial. Something-Or-Other Robo? In Episode 4, the film crew that Renge hires is explained by Kyoya to have been the same who filmed "the vampire movie 'Millenium Snow' last year". Millennium Snow is Hatori Bisco's previous work that she left unfinished before starting Ouran. The twins' cheshire cat outfit in the Alice In Wonderland episode looks similar to the cheshire cat in Disney's 1951 version. Tamaki briefly does a "moonwalk" in Episode 18. Everything about the Zuka Club is a shoutout to, parody of, or homage to the Takarazuka Revue and its fandom. Episode 20: Kyouya is shown reading No Longer Human when Tamaki comes in to ask him for help in getting the Hitachiin twins to join the Host Club. The Hiitachin twins behave like the twins from The Shining. | |

Host Club: The Ouran High School Host Club itself is a PG-rated school club version of real host clubs, with its members providing conversations, flattery and entertainment for the school's female students. As Tamaki says, their real goal is to make girls happy, and they go out of their way several times to help resolve personal conflicts they notice their customers dealing with (romantic more often than not). | |

Charm Point: Mori is an odd case since his Charm Point is another character. When the club tries to instruct a delinquent that a Charm Point can work wonders for one's image, they bluntly point out that without Honey around people would see Mori as just a huge scary thug who barely talks, much to the latter's distress. Because Honey is there, Mori is instead seen as a Gentle Giant. | |

Nose Bleed: In the manga Tamaki gets one of these when he sees Haruhi in a dress during their visit to the beach. Haruhi points it out. Tamaki, being the Idiot Hero, thinks he just bumped his nose and Honey's "first aid" only makes it worse. | |

Playboy Bunny: There is an aversion bonus chapter of the manga and Episode 12 of the anime by being stuffed (almost stuffed in the anime) into an Easter Bunny outfit by the rest of the hosts in desperation for fear that Honey would discover Usa-chan to have been stained upon waking up (which he does, actually, but Mori covers for the hosts). | |

Cerebus Syndrome: The manga starts to delve into dramatic territory around the fifth or sixth volume, but tries not to sacrifice the funny. Around volume eleven or twelve, things get even more serious, though the jokes aren't completely gone. This was probably (more or less) of the intended variety. | |

ToiletHumor | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_d442f9d1 | comment |
Toilet Humor: In the manga (also included in the live-action series) the first time the Host Club visits Haruhi's home, Honey goes to borrow the toilet, but ends up running back into Mori's arms in tears at how small it is. In Chapter 55 of the manga, Kyoya is irritated by another set of worries Tamaki gives him involving a class trip to France. As a small revenge he proceeds to tell their customers and later Haruhi over the phone that Tamaki has diarrhea. Another one in Chapter 62 when Hikaru manages to rile Tamaki up enough to make him shout loudly in front of everyone (including Haruhi) that he never "joy pees" (wetting oneself out of excitement,) "except maybe a few times in the past." | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Parodied in the episode introducing Renge, who thinks that the club members need more angst. She tries to recast Hikaru and Kaoru as basketball players torn between brotherly love and the love of the game, Honey as an Enfante Terrible with Mori as his right-hand man, and Tamaki as a lonesome, stoic Sheltered Aristocrat. A similar case happens later again with Shiro. Renge is intent to play on his rude and blunt personality for the "bad boy" appeal, but it's Tamaki's advice to be himself that helps Shiro with his classmate. | |

Everyone Can See It: Subtly in the anime, but much more obvious in the manga. After Haruhi realizes her feelings for Tamaki it's unbelievably obvious to everyone EXCEPT him. Honey and Mori seemed to be the first to notice Hikaru's and Kaoru's budding feelings for Haruhi, as well, and they even mention that Kyoya might be hiding some of his own. Kyoya may have seen it, too. All of the host club could tell long before he did that Tamaki had fallen in love with Haruhi practically at first sight. | |

Ship Tease | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: Apart from Tamaki, Hikaru and Kaoru in the manga, Haruhi also shares a few moments in the anime with Mori and Kyoya that certainly sparked the interest in some fans. In fact, Honey is probably the only Host Club member with whom Haruhi hasn't shared any borderline intimate/romantic moments in either anime or manga. Hikaru and Kaoru could count as the definition. Their fans may be as numerous as Tamaki/Haruhi's or Hikaru/Haruhi's, even though both anime and (especially) manga makes it clear that their "twincest" is all an act, and while their relationship is still very intimate, it never goes beyond platonic. Tamaki and Kyoya have their fans too, probably stemming from how their relationship resembles a typical uke/seme one (or how about when Tamaki gave Kyoya a shoulder massage in the manga..?). The fact that Tamaki sees them as the "mommy and daddy" of the Host Club contributes to this. And funnily enough, Tamaki gets about as much upset when Kyoya is mad at him as he does when Haruhi is. Some of this between Mori and Honey too, although very little, as the author might have thought it would be squick to many (since they're cousins, and Honey looks like a five year old). Towards the end of the manga there's even some between Kaoru and Kyoya, one memorable moment being Kaoru blushing when Kyoya takes his shirt off. Granted he apparently was blushing at the "coolness" of what Kyoya was saying, but the timing of the blush is quite convenient. Kaoru even stays over at Kyoya's house when he's fighting with Hikaru. Between Kyoya and Nanako Shouji in the post-ending bonus chapter taking place in Spain, who exploits traces of Belligerent Sexual Tension between them with Nanako in the end being implied to have developed feelings for him. Whether Kyoya reciprocated them however, is left unclear. | |

Dating What Daddy Hates: As if Ranka didn't have trouble enough with Tamaki moving in on Haruhi before, he's anything else but pleased discovering that the two are a couple in Chapter 82. He's even less pleased with Tamaki going to America with her. Don't worry, it's totally Played for Laughs. Kinda lampshaded in the manga where the author even points out that Ranka is almost creepily similar to Tamaki, they even kind of look similar when looking at how Ranka looked back when he met Haruhis mother. | |

From the Mouths of Babes: "Debauchery! There's debauchery here! Yay!" From a tiny three year old girl. Who looks ridiculously Moe and took ...three seconds?... to realize exactly what the Host Club is. It's justified too: one of her maids reads her Shoujo manga as bedtime stories. When Shirou first meets Haruhi, he asks "Are you a crossdresser?" when he realizes that Haruhi acts more like a girl than a guy. | |

Animal Motifs | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_e2ccee25 | comment |
Animal Motifs: Tamaki shares a lot of the attributes of a dog (he also is a dog lover). At one point, he's animated with a wagging tail while talking to Haruhi. Haruhi is often made fun of by the other members for her apparent resemblance to a "tanuki" (raccoon dog). The twins again are sometimes portrayed as being as sneaky and "devilish" as cats (which just adds to the humor to their relationship to Tamaki). Is it even necessary to say what animal Honey is associated with? | |

Indy Ploy: What most of Tamaki's "cunning" plans start off as or eventually turn into, thanks to his rather impulsive nature. Want to know a funny thing, though? They work. EVEN AGAINST KYOYA. | |

Supporting Harem | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_e4013a89 | comment |
Supporting Harem: Every boy who knows she's a girl (not quite, but close) falls for Haruhi, but it's obvious she's going to end up with Tamaki, the host club president. It's not over done though, and only one or two actively seek to win her over, and even for them it's more of a journey of character than anything. It's Lampshaded by Tamaki in one episode in which he famously (and unwisely) pegs himself and Haruhi as the romantic leads and the rest as the homosexual supporting cast. | |

Expy | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Honey shares a strong similarity to Momiji from Fruits Basket. This may be an intentional parody since the anime even gives Honey his seiyuu. Tamaki bears a striking resemblance to the comically chivalrous Nokoru from School Detectives. The twins share some resemblance with Fred and George but this could just be a strange coincidence. It's almost become a Memetic Mutation comparing them to the Siamese Cats, Si and Am. A lot of the character designs for the leads are also lifted from Bisco Hatori's previous work Millenium Snow. Kyoya's father might as well be Gendo in an Alternate Universe. His character looks basically identical to Gendo and comes complete with Jerkass front, Gendo Pose and even Gendo's seiyuu. | |

Accidental Truth | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_e784bb8c | comment |
Accidental Truth: The personas Renge invents for the boys in Episode 4 of the anime are all spot-on except for Haruhi and Mori (who is only nominally a main character), just not for the reasons she dreams up. Doubles as Foreshadowing. Examples: The twins did and still do live in their own world, not because they're obsessed with each other, but because everybody around them treats them as interchangeable or a single unit. Honey is much more dangerous than he looks, but he's childish almost through and through. That selfishness and impulsiveness actually makes him more dangerous. Tamaki is very lonely, but it's family he's longing for, not friends. Rather than moping about it, he tries to make everybody else as happy as possible to compensate. Even Renge's conclusion about Kyoya was shown to be right after a fashion. He's quite sweet and considerate in his own way, he's just a bit dismissive and manipulative about it. | |

All Just a Dream | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_ea85d6ea | comment |
All Just a Dream: The anime episode "Haruhi in Wonderland". After the Queen is revealed to be Haruhi's mother, she awakens to see she's dozed off during a club meeting. The short bonus story where we're introduced to a Honey grown up to the size of the twins in only two months. The Host Club are shocked to find out he stayed as short as he was because Kyoya had been feeding him anti-growth pills, because if he'd been tall he'd just overlap as the Dumb Blonde with Tamaki. It then cuts to Haruhi telling them all it's what she dreamt last night, to which the guys, especially Tamaki and Kyoya, aren't very pleased. It ends with Kyoya asking a frightened Haruhi if they can have a serious talk about how she perceives his character. | |

Rousseau Was Right | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_eb2195d9 | comment |
Rousseau Was Right: In the end, just like another very popular shoujo manga, all strife between the Host Club and other, "antagonistic" characters is not so much due to any one character being greedy, evil or unreasonable, but rather to tragic misunderstanding of each others feelings that is eventually overcome. Even Tamaki's grandmother is eventually played as sympathetic. | |

Big Damn Heroes: In the anime, Kyoya manages to buy his father's own company before a rival competitor can, after a series of convoluted machinations. Needless to say, the old man is impressed. Almost the entire cast of recurring side characters in Chapter 80. The Host Club members, too, but that's a given. | |

Jerkass: Hikaru and Kaoru were like this pre-Host Club. They once played with a girl's affections before giving her a "The Reason You Suck" Speech. Hikaru's still a bit of one during the Karuizawa arc, and, according to Haruhi, is naturally much more of one than Kaoru provided you get them on their own. Kyoya has his moments too such as adding to Haruhi's debt or that infamous scene during the beach episode. | |

Not a Morning Person | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_ebf8fc6 | comment |
Not a Morning Person: Kyoya, to the point that the rest of the host club is scared of him in the mornings. Not that they aren't always scared of him. A side story in the manga shows that on a school day, waking Kyoya requires three alarm clocks and at least half an hour...and it was commented that he was running early that day. The rumor goes that Honey's family was once in a military complex, and a soldier carelessly woke Honey up, and he BLEW THE PLACE UP, leaving only a bunny-shaped mushroom cloud, killing two entire Green Beret battalions. Tamaki is the one telling this story, so take it with a grain of salt, but when they wake up Honey from a nap in the club room he is in a decidedly terrible mood. | |

Incredibly Lame Pun: In-universe example during the Beach Episode. Mori attempts to frighten Haruhi using a harpoon (the Japanese word for harpoon being mori). It's hilariously lampshaded. Another in-universe example in Chapter 64 of the manga, where Tamaki is going through a trauma regarding his feelings, resulting in him first going to a zoo to look at tigers, and then arranging for the next Host Club activity to be at a riding school with horses. Thinking through this, the twins realize that putting together the words for the two animals (tora=tiger and uma=horse) you get "torauma" (sounding like "trauma"). | |

Creepy Twins: Hikaru and Kaoru are often eerily reminiscent of (siamese cat pair) Si and Am from Lady and the Tramp. They're also reminiscent of the twins from The Shining... just watch their childhood/coming-of-age episode! It's less so in the manga, but a large part of that is because you can't see or hear them moving and speaking in unison and it has to be implied over text instead. | |

Cute Bruiser: Honey knows kung fu, and as mentioned earlier will kick your ass if you mess with him, Mori, or Haruhi. The Minister of Defense of Japan has even begged him not to show his full strength in public out of fear that the UN will think Japan is harboring a bioengineered weapon of mass destruction. | |

Tamaki has to deal with some heavy and long standing family issues before he can have a happy family and relationship with Haruhi. Kyoya has to fight an attempt on his father's company while dealing with his "third son" situation. | |

Priceless Ming Vase | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_f688816f | comment |
Priceless Ming Vase: The destruction of a genuine priceless Ming vase kick-starts the plot. It's very heavily lampshaded by a flashing arrow that points at the vase any time it's seen. | |

Attempted Rape: Kyoya's way of getting through to Haruhi following her encounter with the thugs is to pretend that he's about to force himself on her. | |

Darkest Hour: Chapters 73 to 80, in which Tamaki is manipulated by his grandmother into quitting the Host Club and cutting all ties with them for the sake of the Suoh business. | |

Romantic False Lead | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_faa71569 | comment |
Romantic False Lead: The new transfer student Kanoya that Tamaki saves from getting kicked by a horse have the host club calling the real life version of his imaginary "Feminine Haruhi" and a momentary love triangle appears. Only at surface-level, however, as Tamaki shows no interest in Kanoya. In the anime, this role was given to Lady Eclair, who has an arranged marriage with Tamaki. | |

The Power of Friendship: A big theme in the series, that can be called "club family". Through friendship the hosts help each other and those outside the club. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: During Kasanoda's flashback in "Mori-Sempai Has An Apprentice!", one of the words that Kasanoda's father is teaching his son to speak to sound more "gangster-like" is "Ma". Confused and furious, Kasanoda gives up in rage, questioning when in the world he would ever need a word like "Ma". Cue the end of the episode, Kasanoda stumbles upon Haruhi (who, for the longest time, he thought was a guy), who's changing in the music room. It turns out she isn't a guy. (See First-Episode Twist below.) Guess what's the only word that he can say to this discovery? | |

Elevator School: Despite the series' title, Ouran Academy isn't just a high school; it's actually a huge institution that contains grades from kindergarten to high school. The kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and high school divisions all have their own uniforms to distinguish them. | |

| Ouran High School Host Club (Manga) / int_ffb1df90 | comment |
Perpetual Poverty: The rest of the absurdly rich Host Club members think Haruhi lives like this, complete with an Imagine Spot of a run-down shack, filthy clothes, and cracked dishes, when she actually has a fairly typical working class lifestyle. While money is indeed tight in the Fujioka household, they're hardly starving or destitute. | |
