Story Summary
Ouran High School Host Club centers around a group of boys, and one girl disguised as a boy, and their club at the rich kids school, Ouran Academy. Haruhi, a tomboyish middle class girl who got into Ouran on an honors scholarship, stumbles into the host club's room, breaks an expensive vase by accident and the handsome boys of the club decide she must pay for the expensive vase she broke by being their servant. They soon find that she is good with the girls who come to their club and put her to work as a host (a male host). All the boys in the club grow to love Haruhi. Tamaki, the leader (king) of the club, says he feels for Haruhi as a father would a daughter. Then there are the mischeivious twins Hikaru and Karou, ultra cute Honey and his constant calm and aloof companion Mori, and finally the guy who manages the club's finances and affairs, Kyoya. Together, the club members have fun and wacky adventures and as the series progresses we find out more about each character's past and how the club has helped them to grow.

My Opinion
I never thought I would like such a silly and frivolous looking anime, but despite being so strange and pointless at times, it actually is interesting and captivating. Sometimes its a complete riot, and other times its thoughtful and touching. I really adore this anime.
