Plot[edit]
Following the events of the TV series, Haruhi Fujioka, a brilliant student from a middle-class family, continues to attend the prestigious Ouran Academy and to work in its Host Club, a unique club composed of six handsome boys: the princely Tamaki Suoh, cool Kyoya Ootori, playful twins Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, cutesy Mitsukuni 'Honey' Haninozuka, and stoic Takashi 'Mori' Morinozuka, who entertain their clientele with after-school tea service and flirting. She agrees to do so in order to pay for the accidental breakage of an expensive Renaissance vase. Having spent a year in the club dressed as a boy and acting as the natural Host, Haruhi is accustomed to its ways but becomes flustered when she learns from a romance magazine given to her by the creepy occultist Umehito Nekozawa that she has supposedly fallen in love with Tamaki. This does not sit well with Hikaru, who has feelings for Haruhi.
In the meantime, the Host Club is about to attend the annual Ouran Festival, whose winning reward is the right to use the luxurious Central Salon for their festival activities. The club has to compete against, among others, the Black Magic Club (led by Nekozawa) and the American Football Club, led by Kyoya's rival, Takeshi Kuze. At the same time, the school also welcomes Princess Michelle Monaru of Singapore as an honorary student. The spoiled Michelle wants everyone to cherish her and later appears to make moves on Tamaki, which makes Haruhi jealous. However, it is revealed that Michelle only approaches Tamaki in order for her disgraced family to lock in a deal with the Suoh family, which she does to appease her brother, Lawrence, with whom she is estranged due to the duties he assumed after their parents' deaths.
A prized book belonging to Michelle falls in the rain and Haruhi attempts to retrieve it. Tamaki, in an attempt to protect her, is injured. Upon learning about this, as well as the Monarus' true motives, Shizue Suoh, Tamaki's grandmother and the family matriarch, refuses to deal with the Monaru family.
Realizing that Michelle's problem is loneliness, Haruhi decides to participate in the Host Club's attempt to make her smile again by winning the Festival. They invite Lawrence to Japan, then present him to her as her family treasure, the Festival's end goal. Michelle's book, which Haruhi retrieved earlier, turns out to be a cookbook containing the Monaru family's favorite recipes and that Michelle has been waiting for her brother to come home in order that they might enjoy a proper dinner together once more. The siblings reconcile and the Host Club is declared the winner of the Festival and the Central Salon. There, Hikaru expresses his sentiment that, although he loves Haruhi, he is content to see her happy with Tamaki. Later, when the Host Club takes a walk by a river, Haruhi unsuccessfully tries to express her feelings but in the process, trips and accidentally kisses Tamaki, much to their embarrassment.
Through the closing credits, a scene is displayed in which Haruhi finally manages to enjoy otoro, after being denied long ago.

The live action drama Ouran High School Host Club (Ouran Koukou Host Club) is an adaptation of the popular anime series Ouran Koukou Host Club. The story revolves around a middle-class girl Haruhi Fujioka who receives a scholarship to enter Ouran Academy, a prestigious high school populated exclusively by students from prosperous families. One day, she stumbles upon a bunch of handsome boys who offer host services to rich women and while trying run away, she knocks over an extremely expensive vase. The leader of the host club mistakes Haruhi for a cute boy and asks her to join the club in order to pay the debt. As the story goes on, the characters become closer and share a lot of memorable moments. However, Haruhi has to be careful to keep her gender a secret from other wealthy students…
The Cast
The main character Haruhi Fujioka is portrayed by 20-year-old actress and model Kawaguchi Haruna who previously appeared in movies such as Hatsukoi Chronicle and Tantei no Tantei. Haruna commented that she had never cross-dressed before, but that by the end of the series, she had gotten the hang of it.
The clumsy and paranoid Tamaki Suou is played by Yusuke Yamamoto (Hanazakari no Kimi-tachi e) who groans, twitches and sounds just like the anime version’s seiyuu, Miyano Mamoru. Though Tamaki is a hard character to portray, this 27-year-old actor expresses all of his sudden mood changes remarkably well. It is clear that Yusuke thoroughly studied his character and even borrowed some ideas from the seiyuu’s interpretation.
The mischievous and devious Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachin are portrayed by twin actors Manpei and Shinpei Takagi, best known for their appearances in Juken Sentai Gekiranger. The secretive and highly intelligent Kyouya Ootori is played by Shunsuke Daito (Crows Zero), while other host club members include Yudai Chiba (Tensou Sentai Goseiger) as Haninozuka Misukuni and Nakamura Masaya (Gakumon no Susume) as Morinozuka Takashi.
Anime vs Drama
In many cases, drama adaptations fall short compared to their manga or anime counterparts. However, Ouran High School Host Club does not lose its charm when transferred to the realm of real life. The drama adaptation retains the anime’s main core, but adds its own spice to the familiar story. Though the diehard fans will easily notice that the plot diverts away from the original version, it is still an absolute joy to watch, especially for those who enjoy heart-warming shows in general.
