I've been wanting to do the 100 things... meme but with me being me, I couldn't find enough things in my so-called life to fill up a list of 50, never mind a hundred {sweatdrop}.So, I resorted to my usual fallback: anime and manga. And the title that won the honor of being First to Have a 100 Things List is——Ouran High School Host Club!! That ineffably funny and probably far too charming for its own good shoujo opus by Bisco Hatori-sensei. The anime adaptation wraps up this month, so consider this my marker for the occasion.100 Things I Wub About Ouran High School Host ClubFujioka HaruhiSuou TamakiOotori Kyoya (KYAA! ^^)Hitachiin HikaruHitachiin KaoruHaninozuka MitsukuniMorinozuka TakashiSakura Kiss by Kawabe Chiekored rosesthe third music roomand the grand piano we won't see till later in the seriesIrasshaimase!the eight million yen vasethe eight million yen debtthe first of six lit light bulbsthe sixth lit light bulbthe Ouran High School male school uniform (winter version)instant coffee ("HESCAFE")Haruhi's school bagthe Bali cosplaytea service (Ginori, Worcester, Wedgwood, Foley...)the Host Club that exists to bring fortune to ladiesootoro (for Haruhi) Kyoya's glassesKyoya's research file Kyoya's celphoneteardrops from eyedropsShissou 「SPRINT」 by LAST ALLIANCETamaki's fatherly pretensionsTamaki's piano virtuosity Tamaki's sakura tattooTamaki in a corner when depressed Okasan (mom)Haruhi's love letter to Suzushima Tooru-kun "Uki Doki Memorial"the video shot by Renge's Hollywood crewRenge cosplaying Kisaragi Quon from RahXephonRenge's high-powered motorHikaru with pink hairKaoru with blue hairThe wild typeThe cool typeThe lolishota typeThe little devil typeThe Prince Charming typethe natural rookieHaruhi's middle school picturesTamaki's blown-up picture of Haruhi in middle schoolmale Haruhi shopped pictureEverything's going according to plangiant crabsTamaki saving Haruhi from drowning Tamaki getting mad at Haruhi for not asking for helpKyoya teaching Haruhi the difference between the sexes.
