ANIME NEWS: Ouran High School Host Club Goes Live Action!

ANN reported today that the manga/anime Ouran High School Host Club is going to get its own live action television show this coming July. Ouran has been popular with yaoi fans due to its six male host club members and ample fanservice. The host club members cover a wide range of types including the twins, who play off of their 'forbidden love' for each other, and Honey, who is the loli-shota type even though he is actually the oldest of the group. Wiki describes the series as "a parody of otaku culture, especially cross-dressing, yaoi and yuri cultures within otaku culture." Those interested in checking out the anime can see it here on Hulu or watch it on Netflix via the instant queue.

So far of the male characters, we know Yusuke Yamamoto has been cast as Host Club president, Tamaki Suoh. He's a cutie!———————-> Can't wait to see the trailer for this one.

should be interesting. i didn’t like the anime version cause it strayed to much from the manga, so i’m hoping they won’t do that with the live version

i hope its better than the anime because the anime version ended with an open mouth that speaks “That’s all. where’s the love confession”
