The Host Club Goes Live!
I recently discovered that our beloved band of gorgeous boys (plus one girl) is getting the live-action treatment! Yes, folks, there is now a live-action adaptation of Ouran High School Host Club! It started airing in Japan on July 22. You can find the first episode online. It's not subtitled (of course), but if you have seen the first episode of the anime or read the first chapter of the manga, then you may be able to follow what's going on despite the lack of subtitles.
(Warning to those of you who have only seen the anime: The first episode of the live-action follows the first chapter of the manga more so than the first episode of the anime.)
Can I just say that the live-action Kyouya is almost as intimidating as his manga/anime counterpart? No, not almost--he is as intimidating as his manga/anime counterpart. Kawaguchi Haruna (Haruhi) does a great job of pulling off Haruhi's shifting between casual disinterest and "damn these rich people" attitude. And Tamaki...good lord, Tamaki. ^O^
