Ouran Academy: an institution of extravagance and prestige where learning comes second to luxury. Only those of the highest pedigrees and the wealthiest families are lucky enough to attend, and the truly elite are the members of the Ouran Host Club. But for studious Haruhi Fujoka, education is a privilege that must be earned, being on scholarship and out of place among the moneyed. Following the anime's original airing in Japan during 2006, FUNimation's began releasing the anime's English version stateside in October 2008.
