Ouran High School Host Club (桜蘭高校ホスト部)

This place has four library rooms.

You'd think one of them would be quiet.

How're things in Heaven, Mom?

I can't believe it's been ten years already.

I'm beginning to think that rich kids only come to school

to have a good time.

An abandoned music room.

I guess this is the only place I'll be able to study

in peace and quiet.

Welcome!

When I opened the door, I found the Host Club.

"Starting Today, You Are a Host!"

Only those with excellent social standing

and those from filthy rich families are lucky enough

to spend their time here at the elite private school,

Ouran Academy.

The Ouran Host Club is where the school's

handsomest boys, with too much time on their hands,

entertain young ladies who also have way too much time

on their hands.

Just think of it as Ouran Academy's

elegant playground for the super-rich and beautiful.

This is a Host Club?

Oh wow, it's a boy!

Hikaru, Kaoru, I believe this young man is in

the same class as you, isn't he?

Yeah, but he's shy.

He doesn't act very sociably so we don't know much about him.

Well, that wasn't very polite.

Welcome to the Ouran Host Club, Mr. Honor Student.

What? You must be Haruhi Fujioka!

You're the exceptional honor student we've heard about!

How did you know my name?

Why, you're infamous. It's not everyday that

a commoner gains entrance into our academy.

You must have an audacious nerve

to work hard enough to fight your way into this school

as an honor student, Mr. Fujioka.

Well uh, thank you, I guess.

You're welcome!

You're a hero to other poor people, Fujioka!

You've shown the world that even a poor person

can excel at an elite private academy.

It must be hard for you to constantly be looked down upon

by others.

I think you're taking this "poor" thing too far.

Spurned! Neglected! But that doesn't matter now!

Long live the poor!

We welcome you, poor man, to our world of beauty!

I'm outta here.

Hey! Come back here, Haru-chan!

You must be like a superhero or something!

That's so cool!

I'm not a hero. I'm an honor student.

And who're you calling "Haru-chan"?

I never would've imagined the famous scholar

would be so openly gay.

Openly what?

So tell me what kind of guys you're into?

Do you like the strong, silent type?

The boy Lolita? How about the mischievous type?

Or the cool type?

I, uh. It's not like that!

I was just looking for a quiet place to study!

Or maybe.

You're into a guy like me? What do you say?

We were going to feature that Renaissance vase

in an upcoming school auction!

Oh, now you've done it, Commoner.

The bidding on that vase was supposed to start

at 8 million yen!

What? 8 million yen? How many thousand yen is that?

How many thousands are in a million?

Uh, I'm gonna have to pay you back.

With what money?

You can't even afford a school uniform.

What's with that grubby outfit you've got on, anyway?

Well, what do you think we should do Tamaki?

There's a famous saying you may have heard Fujioka.

"When in Rome, you should do as the Romans do."

Since you have no money, you can pay with your body.

That means starting today, you're the Host Club's dog!

I don't know if I can handle this, Mom.

I've been captured by a bunch of boys that're

calling themselves a host club!

Poke, poke.

Um, Tamaki, what's your favorite song?

What song? The one that reminds me of you,

of course.

I baked you a cake today. Would you like to taste it?

Only if you'll feed it to me, darling.

Oh wow. You're so dreamy!

May I have a word with you, Tamaki?

I've recently heard the host club is keeping

a little kitten without a pedigree.

I don't know if I'd call him that.

Speak of the devil!

Thanks for doing the shopping, little piglet.

Did you get everything on our list?

What? Piglet?

Hey, wait a minute, what is this?

Just what it looks like. It's coffee.

I've never seen this brand before.

Is this the kind that's already ground?

What do you mean? It's instant coffee.

It's instant?

Whoa. I've heard of this before.

It's commoner's coffee. You just add hot water.

I didn't know there was such a thing!

So it's true then. Poor people don't even

have enough free time to grind their own coffee beans.

Commoners are pretty smart.

100 grams for 300 yen.

That's a lot less than we normally pay.

I'll go back and get something else.

Excuse me for not buying you guys expensive coffee.

No, I'll keep it!

I'm going to give it a try.

I will drink this coffee!

Alright Haruhi!

Get over here and make some of this commoner's coffee!

I hate all these damn rich people.

Oh, Tamaki, now you're taking the joke too far.

Your palate won't be able to stomach that crap,

you don't have to drink it just because he bought it.

I'm sorry. I was talking to myself.

Haruhi!

I'm comin'.

Here.

Let the tasting begin!

I'm a little scared to drink this stuff.

I'm afraid if I drink this my father will yell at me.

What if I let you drink it from my mouth?

Well, then I would drink it.

This is ridiculous.

So he had this nightmare that made him bolt up right

out of bed.

Hikaru! Don't tell them that story!

I asked you not to tell anyone that.

Why are you so mean to me?

I'm sorry, Kaoru.

I didn't mean to upset you but you were so adorable

when it happened I had to tell them. I'm sorry.

I forgive you.

I've never seen brotherly love quite like that!

What're they so excited about? I just don't get it.

Sorry, we're running late.

Hello Honey! Hey Mori!

We've been waiting here for you guys. Hi!

I'm sorry. I was waiting for Takashi

to finish his kendo meeting and I fell asleep.

And I'm still not completely awake.

So cute!

Is that boy really a 3rd year student?

Honey-senpai may seem young and childish

but he's a prodigy.

And then Mori-senpai's allure

is his strong and silent disposition.

Haru-chan!

Hey Haru-chan, do you want to go have

some cake with me?

Thanks but I don't really like cake.

Then how would you like to hold my bunny Usa-chan?

I'm not into bunnies.

Are you saying you don't like Usa-chan?

I guess he is kinda cute, huh?

Take good care of him, okay?

You'll notice that our club utilizes each man's

unique characteristics to cater to the desires

of our guests.

Just so you know, Tamaki is number one

around here. He's the king.

His request rate is 70%.

What's this world coming to?

And in order for you to pay off your 8 million yen debt

with us, you will act as the Ouran Host Club's dog

until you graduate. I'm sorry. I meant our errand boy.

You can try to run away if you want to, Haruhi,

but just so you know, my family employs

a private police force of 100 officers.

By the way, do you have a passport?

You're going to have to work hard to pay off

that debt, my little nerd.

Please, don't do that again.

You need a makeover or no girl's going to look

twice at you.

Yeah, well, I'm not trying to get girls to look at me.

Are you kidding me?

That's the most important thing.

You have to learn to be a gentleman

and please the ladies, like me.

I just don't think it's all that important.

Why should I care about appearances and labels anyway?

I mean, all that really matters is what's on

the inside, right? I don't understand why

you even have a host club like this.

It's a cruel reality, isn't it?

It's not often that God creates a perfect person like moi;

beautiful both inside and out.

Say what?
