posted on by Andrew Osmond
In the story, middle-class Haruhi enrolls into the elite Ouran High School, which has a secret Host Club of rich boys that cater to girls as a paid service. Haruhi is roped into working in the club to pay off a debt, but she becomes one of the club's most popular hosts when she is mistaken for a boy. Viz Media releases the original shōjo manga by Bisco Hatori that inspired the 2006 anime version.
The academy fantasy novel series is set in Rosewood Academy, a school that trains future heroes destined to protect mankind. The school accepts only those with the most potential. Arnest Flaming, a girl who boasts the top record in the academy, is assigned to guide a mysterious but cheerful new student named Blade who rivals her own power.
Keiichiro Kawaguchi (Sket Dance, Higurashi: When They Cry – GOU, Shadowverse) directed the anime at Actas. Naoki Hayashi (Higurashi: When They Cry – GOU, Citrus, Black Fox) wrote and supervised the scripts. Kōsuke Kawamura (OniAi, ISLAND, Remake Our Life!) was the character designer and chief animation director. Akane Kumada performed the anime's ending theme song "Another Self."
"Arnheid's husband breaks his shackles and slaughters his way toward saving her. While helping Einar aid their escape, Thorfinn rethinks his vow of non-violence, resolving to find Vinland and build a peaceful land. But first, Canute invades Ketil's farm."
"Yuko thought that her life had been turned completely upside down when she learned that she and her entire family were demons, but it seems the universe has only begun to mess with her now horned head. For example, what's a succubus supposed to do when she challenges one of the local Magical Girls to a duel, but they misinterpret it to be an invitation to hang out instead? Then there's questions like what kind of restrictions should you put on ancestors who borrow your body? And let's not even get into the issues of proper etiquette when the other local Magical Girl moves into one's apartment complex or inheriting stupidly powerful magical artifacts. Basically, Yuko's life is going to be hell as it's just one bedeviling problem after another."
