Description:
Haruhi Fujioka is a scholarship student at
the prestigious Ouran Academy, a fictional high
school located in Bunkyō, Tokyo. Looking for a quiet place to study, Haruhi
stumbles upon the Third Music Room, a place where the Ouran Academy Host Club,
a group of six male students, gathers to entertain female "clients".
During their first meeting, Haruhi accidentally knocks over and breaks an
antique vase valued at ¥8,000,000 and is told to repay the cost in service
to the club. Haruhi's short hair, slouching attire and gender-ambiguous look
cause her to be mistaken by the hosts for a male student. The hosts all agree
that Haruhi would be a good host, thus making her join the host club.
Ultimately she agrees to join the Club as a host herself (dressed as a male) in
order to pay off her debt. She agrees to join since she does not mind
hosting as long as she can pay the debt off faster.
The hosts do later find out that
she is, in fact, a girl. They keep this a secret, so no one will be able to
tell. The Ouran Private Academy encompasses kindergarten to twelfth
grade (along with a university). Most students come from wealthy families, but
in special cases, merit scholarships are granted to exceptional students from a
lower income bracket. The school's unofficial motto is "Lineage
counts first, wealth a close second," meaning students with
stellar family backgrounds but low socioeconomic status may
be given top priority over those from rich families with lesser pedigrees.
