The comedic series revolves around the escapades of Haruhi Fujioka, a scholarship student at the prestigious Ouran Academy, an elite private school for rich kids located in Bunkyo, Tokyo. Looking for a quiet place to study, Haruhi stumbles upon the otherwise-abandoned Third Music Room, a place where the Host Club, a group of six male students, gathers to entertain female "clients" with food and themed parties. During their initial encounter, Haruhi accidentally destroys an antique vase valued at ¥8,000,000 (around US$50,000 in 2025) and must work off the debt as the club's errand boy. Her short hair, slouching attire, and gender-ambiguous face cause her to be mistaken by the Hosts for a male student. They eventually realize her actual gender, but not before learning what a "natural" she is at hosting and promoting her to a member of the Host Club; so that she may work off her debt by procuring a certain number of clients by the time she graduates.
