Ouran LOVE Reviews


Ouran High School Host Club's (OHSHC) Fujioka Haruhi doesn't seem to be the typical girl. She's surrounded by six gorgeous boys but hardly any signs of falling in love with any of them, or is there... (yep, we all know that there are signs) OK!!

Haruhi's totally numb, utterly clueless of all the LOVE around her. The other members are quite obvious though (some if not all of them).

Let's check the guys:
-Suoh Tamaki
-Ootari Kyouya
-Hitachiin Hikaru
-Hitachiin Kaoru
-Morinozuka Takashi
-Haninozuka Mitsukuni

I originally planned to have all members but realized that it's already late and having everyone in the host club here would make this post too long. Maybe I'll edit it sometimes or probably make a new post for the other host club members.
For now, it'll be about TamakixHaruhi

Suoh Tamaki:


The Host Club's President, son of the school's superintendent, the most popular host in the host club.
This guy's totally in love with Haruhi, but he's so slow he doesn't notice it himself. He's the person Haruhi's most likely going to end up with.

On the first episode, he was the last person to know that Haruhi's a girl. He made her run errands for the club (because of Haruhi's debt from breaking a vase they are suppose to put on auction) but promoted her to a host when he saw her pretty (at that time 'handsome') features. Tamaki's best trait, I think is his kindness. He trusted Haruhi and helped her look for her wallet that a girl intentionally dropped on the fountain and believed Haruhi when the same girl framed her, thinking that he's a guy (That made me like him more!)

The 'love' realization, he mistakes as his 'fatherly instincts' most likely began on the first episode when he blushes furiously as he observes her entertaining customers from a corner. It's a crush, obviously but he doesn't realize it 'coz he thought Haruhi's a guy back then, heck! even when he knew she's a girl he still couldn't figure out his feelings. Anyways, more third person realizations are shown on the next episodes.

In episode two for instance, He was jealous of Haruhi getting some of his customers and thus, he wanted her to stop being a host. He gave her a deal saying that she's supposed to learn to dance for their dance party, otherwise she'd be back to doing her club chores. He said those but he wanted to be Haruhi's 'lady' dance partner for her practices, which is not possible because of his height. He also tried to stop Haruhi's kiss on the cheek with her customer because Honey-senpai blurted out that it could be Haruhi's first kiss, but he slipped on a banana peel and tripped pushing Haruhi and having her kiss her customer on the lips, which was really funny.

One more scene is that from episode 3 I think the one with the title 'Invasion of the new manager' where Renge made them act out roles. Renge had two Yakuza sons act as Yakuzas which made them angry (I was too... I didn't like her at first, especially for trying to steal MY Kyouya, haha!) So, what happened was the two guys pushed Renge to the wall and Haruhi, being Haruhi saved her and prevented Renge from hitting the wall with her own body. Tamaki arrived afterwards witnessing a tear fall from Haru-chan's eyes. His expression at that moment was SPLENDID! (First time Tamaki had an angry look on his beautiful face) The expression of a guy who saw his love hurt. He seriously wanted to punch the guy.

Another of their best scenes is on episode 8 (One of my most favorite episodes) where they went to Kyouya's beach resort. They decided to have a 'find Haruhi's weakness' game where they must find the thing that scares Haruhi with her pictures as price. Along the episode, there was an incident where guys from somewhere appeared and bullied Haruhi pushing her to the sea. Tamaki immediately rushed to save her and carried her to shore. Where he scolded her for what she did (endangering herself, making him worry... A LOT) Lots happened after... Like he told her he's not talking to her until she reflects on what she did, but it turned out that he was the most affected. He was scared of Haruhi (Funny... but definitely L-O-V-E).

He was also angry (his face showed) when he saw Haruhi and Kyouya alone inside Kyouya's room with the lights off. His fury wasn't directed to Haruhi at that moment, but at Kyouya (heehee, overprotectiveness and JEALOUSY) It's good to see Tama-chan's angry feature occasionally, and only Haruhi can trigger it! Banzai!

My favorite episodes for TamaxHaru would be:

Episode 1 - where everyone is introduced, and we see Tamaki's good side, well all eps shows his good side but on the 1st ep, we see that even without knowing Haru-chan's gender, he's still willing to help her and that's a really BIG Plus! A good guy Tamaki

Episode 3 - "be careful with Physical Examinations" Tama-chan's struggle to keep Haruhi in the host club and Tamaki's inner mind theater.

Episode 8 - "The sun, the sea and the host club"HAHA I've already mentioned about this one, very nice! The hug scene almost made me scream my heart out.

Episode 10 - "The daily life of the Fujioka household" We see how Tamaki is similar to Haruhi's father. Ranka-san (Haru-chan's dad) treats Tamaki rudely, but in a funny way of course. Later on it is evident that he acts that way towards Tamaki because he feels (knows) that his daughter likes him.

Episode 23 - "Tamaki's unrealized melancholy" Kasanoda finds out Haruhi's secret and falls in love with her. Tama-chan is in shock. Super funny episode. We see just how slow Tamaki is when it comes to his own feelings. All those time, he was literally thinking that he is Haruhi's father, that's why he thinks Haruhi's so cute and that he wants to keep her for himself. Super baka!! I mean, super gorgeous, cute, lovely baka!!

Episode 25 and 26 - We finally see Haruhi show some emotions. She gets jealous (yipee!) runs for Tamaki to stop him from going to France and from leaving the Host Club (and leaving her). Beautiful scene, TamaxHaru hug from the bridge to the lake/sea nah, it's a body of water I'm not sure what type. A festival dance and GET THIS, I so love it when Tamaki and Kyouya's dad argued about who's marrying Haruhi in the future, which means, Haruhi will be well accepted in their family, I doubt about her grandmother though, but I'm sure when that time comes they'll be able to handle it.

I think that Tamaki's and Haruhi might end up together, the story shows a lot of scenes and events with the two of them in it and Haruhi's jealousy at the end is an indication that she does like Tamaki.
It's not yet finished though, I'm still hoping for a second season to come soon, hopefully...
We don't know what's going to happen next, whether or not Haruhi ends up with Tamaki, nevertheless, they look good together and just reminiscing on their moments together makes people such as myself happy.
