Ouran High. The first thing that matters is your social status. Students are either a.) heirs/heiresses of conglomerates or zaibatsu or the old rich, b.) sons of the new rich, c.) children of some company owner, or d.) sons of the mafia or yakuzas. Of course, once or twice a scholarship may be offered to an exceptional student. We take notice of one such student, neither class A, B, C, nor D, but a plain commoner admitted into Ouran High. One Fujioka Haruhi.
Fujioka Haruhi explores the school in jeans and a sweater because the school uniform is too expensive, opens a mysterious door, and stumbles upon an 8,000,000-yen vase. Six heads turn. Haninozuka Mitsukuni, once captain of the school's karate club, eldest son of the Haninozuka Corporation, provider of the elite guards services all over Japan.
Takashi, cousin of Haninozuka, of the Morinozuka Family, sworn personal bodyguards of the Haninozuka Family.
The identical Hitachiin twins, Hikaru and Kaoru, sons of a famous fashion line specializing in clothing design.
Kyoya, of the Ohtori family, primarily involved in hospital management and the medical industry, and supplies the school's medical staff and security.
Tamaki, the only son and heir to the Suoh Group of Companies, whose influence stretches all over Japan. Tamaki is the president of the host club.
....
Host club? The type that entertains girls? Drinking tea and stuff? Two things that matter in Ouran High: social status and good looks. 
The host club, that is. To pay for the vase, Haruhi has to work as a host in the club, thus making her an instant member. Haruhi's natural air attracts many customers and is well accepted by the club. Tamaki finds an ID card belonging to Haruhi, and is shocked to find out Haruhi is a girl.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Review:
What's interesting to note here is that this story is somewhat a parody of shojou anime in itself. You can find the supposedly extremely stereotyped characters in a shojou story: The shota or cute little boy type "Hunny" Haninuzuka; the unpredictable, "wild" type Mori; the "boys-love" played by the Hitachiin twins; the smart and calculating but cool type Kyoya; and of course the babe-magnet adonis which is Tamaki. Well, parody in the sense that, these aren't their real personalities. Outside the host club they are just plain funny. Hunny is a karate champ for one, who wakes up in a bad mood. Mori is a very kind and affectionate guy. The twins aren't really incestuous, and are a very mischievous pair. Kyoya is a cunning person who only thinks of profit. And Tamaki is an overly sensitive idiot. That's why I like this anime because it laughs at itself. And for the shallow reasons, because the characters are really likeable, and the mushy stuff don't make you warm and fuzzy but the butterflies-in-your-stomach kind of thing.
Of course its obvious. Haruhi being the only girl in the club, there are bound to be developments. Graphics-wise, it's good. Soundtrack is also good. Of course since I have read part of the manga I must say that it's sad that it had to end in 26 episodes, and I doubt that there is more to the manga than what they put in the anime. But divorcing the anime from the manga though, I'd give it a:
