I connected the entirety of OHSHC (anime dub) to the calendar :)

This took me too long <3

Alrighty! So what I'm gonna do first is show the calendar charts for when/if people come back to look at them and already understand what the mean, then I'm gonna specify what I mean by each day exactly by telling you the first scene of each day with time-codes under the cut (skipping the full day episodes because... duh), and then I'm gonna explain why (with sources)... It'll make sense if you read the whole post I promise.

So. On the calendar, the days will be listed as episode number and day number (E#:D#). These will be color-coded. Pink means that day definitely is that specific calendar date based on the information I have. Purple means we have some wiggle room. Green are national holidays (found on questionjapan.com and nippon.com).

Oh boy we made it to how you can fact check me!!! This is gonna be an entire brain-dump because I am dead

E1 - Aired 4/4/2006 (info found on imdb). Japanese school generally starts on Monday the second week of April (info found in an article from questionjapan.com), which was 4/3/2006, and various comments seem like it's early but not the first day, so we're setting the first day as the first airing to have a starting point!

E2 - It's still "early spring", the cherry blossoms are only buds, there's a slight sense of normalcy, the club has definitely been open for at least a week thanks to Kanako's shenanigans, and the party takes place in "one week", so the first day would have to be late in the week, likely the week of 4/10. Thanks to the fact that Haruhi's practice session with Kanako is directly the next day, the first one would have had to be Thursday, and the second would be Friday. The party could conceivably be the next Friday or Saturday, but I would really really hope it's Friday because Suzushima waits for Haruhi in his school uniform. Also Suzushima is going to England "next month" (May) which could technically be literally any day in the month...

E3 - So the cherry blossoms were blooming on the night of the party last episode, and they're still blooming for the flower-viewing reception. According to this article on japan-guide.com, after the cherry blossoms start legitimately blooming, you've got about a week. We're gonna assume the earlier the better considering the state they're in! On the day of the flower-viewing reception, physical exams are "the day after tomorrow". When they are back in the music room, Haruhi says "sorry I'm late guys" which means she wasn't with them, ergo it's a new day.

E4 - Renge arrives on the first day, crashes the club, and pronounces herself lady manager. She's transferring into class 1A "tomorrow" (which means two week days back-to-back), and then later she arrives to the club with cookies in her school uniform, so I assume that's the day she officially transferred. Renge has a crew flown in from LA to film the host club movie, which she doesn't have the idea for until she starts working on the hosts' characters. I used travelmath.com to calculate the flight time between Tokyo (as a major city in Japan) and LA, which came out to about a 12-hour flight, so we need a buffer day at least. The movie seems to be filmed on club time, so that's a week day, and then "several days later" the episode concludes, which could literally be anywhere between 4 and 9 days in colloquial terms.

E5 - I think it's pretty safe to say this takes place over three consecutive days just on how the episode is presented (one day fight and make-up). This definitely has to happen after the conclusion of the last episode thanks to Renge.

E6 - Ok ok ok ok ok so: most of the shenanigans have to take place over three days. Shiro greets the club on a costumed club day, he observes them on a non-costumed club day, and he goes back to the club... which could conceivably be on the same day as the observation, except that the club appears to have just opened and the teacher gave the kids a new piece for the day. On that third day, Hina is supposed to move to Germany at the end of the week, so the recital is probably that Friday to give Shiro more time to practice. And now... the incident. There was a date on that invitation that we as the audience get to read. I got so excited!! A concrete date I could place this one on!! Except it's September 3rd fucking September 3rd why does is say September 3rd fuck you bones what the fuck is this shit

Anyway Shiro hosts "10 days later". Interestingly, not for the first time thanks to the comment "I thought [Tamaki] would make it through without exploding this time".

E7 - School day. Post the conclusion of the last episode because Honey "felt threatened last episode" and before the next because that one hinges on the conclusion of this one, but otherwise there's absolutely nothing tying this one down.

E8 - Sometime after episode 7 they decide to go to the beach, then presumably the next weekend they spend one night in Okinawa. Since this ends up falling on the week of the twins' birthdays, I absolutely refuse to believe any of these days happen on June 9th because... come on. Do you think the twins would ever keep their mouths shut about their birthday???

E9 - This starts no later than Thursday due to the fact that the cultural expo lasts two days back-to-back (explicitly labeled). Of course, this is assuming Ouran has a five-day week, as many things on the calendar do, thanks to that same article from questionjapan.com I mentioned earlier.

E10 - It takes place over one day on a Sunday, thanks to Haruhi rejoicing that "there's no better time to hit the supermarket than a Sunday morning"

E11 - Kirimi shows up, the practice in the science room happens two days later because Haruhi says "she's made me read about fifty volumes of shojo manga over the last three days" (Kirimi's arrival, the day before, the day she says that). "Several days later" the hosts see Nekozawa hiding again.

E12 - Genuinely what the fuck why is Honey's toothache only three days long they definitely take longer than that sir??? Anyway it's explicitly in the title so three days it is! The bunny incident definitely happens the same day as the discovery of Honey's toothache (referenced as "earlier").

E13 - I don't know man the actual awake day happens for like a minute and a half. Week day??? If the entire episode was just a nebulous dream I probably wouldn't have even counted it on the timeline lol.

E14 - First of all, the newspaper club's story on the host club is supposed to be the very last story of the semester, so it's gotta be real close to the start of summer vacation. The first day is near the end of the week ("how many copies did we sell this week"), and the second day is the very next one ("tomorrow").

E15 - Explicitly stated by the twins, it starts three days into summer vacation, or 7/23/2006!! Japan's summer vacation starts on the 20th (found traveltips.usatoday.com and that same questionjapan.com article). Obviously, when Kaoru wakes up on the floor would be the very next day, or 7/24/2006.

E16 - Starts on the same day as the last episode (7/24/2006), Haruhi's date is "tomorrow" (7/25/2006), and the conclusion would be "the next day".

E17 - TAMAKI'S EXPO FLYER SAYS 8/27-8/31!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THIS IS THE KIND OF SHIT I WANTED FROM HINA'S STUPID INVATATION THANK YOU ANIMATORS FOR THIS CRUMB OF EASE. It's also the last day of summer vacation which would be the week of the 31st!! I can't guarantee which day of the week it would be though, because I would assume school starts up again on Monday, but I could be wrong? It doesn't make any fuckin sense to start school again on a Friday that year but hey man I don't make the rules.

E18 - Who even fuckin knows man. One school day, but there's literally weeks of unused space in the time slot this could fit so like close your eyes and pick a date :')

E19 - Singular day on the weekend. If I had to guess, it would be Sunday (just because Haruhi was planning to go to the supermarket), but no promises. Probably September.

E20 - I didn't include it on the calendar because it literally does not matter. The entire episode is a flashback, there's not a singular moment that takes place at the time of the rest of the anime <3

E21 - Starts the week before Halloween (10/23/2006). Final exams (2-3 days according to this Q&A that I picked and chose from) are almost happening, because clubs generally aren't in session during exam days. Haruhi and the twins skip on the club to help 1A plan, which means it's the same day. The tournament is explicitly stated to happen on Halloween night. The ending is... sometime soon after that?

E22 - Spread over two days: like Renge in the fourth episode, Kasanoda shows up while a costumed club day is in session, but sticks around after that. They're one after the other ("yesterday").

E23 - This obviously starts on the same day as the end of the last episode. Kasanoda refuses to eat dinner "again", but I can't guarantee that this is connected to Haruhi? I don't know, the language around her is all muddled, dude. It seems like it was originally intended to be on the exact same day as the start of the episode, because when Tetsuya talks about how he saw Kasanoda and Haruhi together, the sub says "today" (the scene wasn't in the manga so I couldn't check that :/ ), but the dub says "all the time". For why. Anyway, it seems like he visits as a guest the very next day but I don't have a direct quote for that one. This episode's timeframe is probably the most mindfucky out of the entire show T - T

Then in the conclusion it seems like it was supposed to be the same day but I can't guarantee it and also the roses are in full bloom in fucking November???? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Literally just put these episodes before the Halloween one literally just put them in September/early October literally all you had to do was air these episodes before Halloween and not reference the pumpkin carriage metaphor I fucking know you guys could do it you rearranged a whole bunch of other shit from the manga timeline why would you do this to me fuck you fuck you fuck youuuu

Also technically according to this article the roses could be blooming if they were in the very very very south of Japan but also that would have literally meant that the cherry blossoms would have been in full bloom in mid-March <3

E24 - Literally it's cold enough for falling leaves and kotatsu tables the very next episode FUCk you bones anyway it's one school day

E25 - The super super fun thing about this is that I could have placed the cultural festival on the weekend it's SUPPOSED to be on (gainjinpot.com and questionjapan.com) if literally just the Kasanoda episodes had come out before the Halloween episode <3 I am a ball of pure fury. Anyway, it starts the morning of and continues to sunset. We're gonna assume its Friday based on the next episode.

E26 - So this is day two of the cultural festival, or the "main fair". Since the festival is generally a one-day event held on Saturdays and this one is supposed to be the main one, we're gonna put this one on Saturday.

OH MY GOD I FUCKIN DID IT!!!!!!!

[Gakuen K] Yatogami Kuroh Route Translation

In search of seven colors limited bread

LIST OF CHAPTERS

[Translation under the cut]

Neko: Guys, it's terrible! It's a great war~!

Saya: What's wrong, Neko-chan?

Neko: Gohan, hurry! Come too, Shiro! Kurosuke…come along too!

Kuroh: In that time? That girl…

Shiro: Now, now. It sounds like an emergency, so let's go with her.

Saya: What is this crowd…

Neko: It's the Great Annual War!

Saya: Great war…

Shiro: …I see. Today is the only day of the year when they're selling seven colours limited bread (Blend of popular breads Yakisoba, Cream, Korokke, Chocolate, Strawberry jam, Sukiyaki and Curry, that sold once a year in school), right?

Saya: Seven colours limited bread?

Shiro: Yakisoba bread, Cream bread, Korokke bread, Chocolate bread, Strawberry Jam, Sukiyaki, Curry bread…

Shiro: Bread that is a blend of these seven is only sold once a year.

Saya: That doesn't sound very tasty…

Kuroh: I agree.

Shiro: Sure, everyone says that at first, but when you eat it, it tastes really good.

Saya: Have you ever eaten it, Shiro-kun?

Shiro: Uhm. But that was more than a decade ago.

Saya: I see, so long ago…

Saya: …Eh, so long ago!?

Shiro: Huh? Did I say something strange?

Saya: Uhm. A decade ago…

Shiro: …That's bad.

Saya: How old are you, Shiro-kun?

Shiro: I'm 17 years old forever~ Just kidding. Huh, those over there…

Mikoto: Fuaaa…

Totsuka: King, wake up.

Mikoto: Ahh, I get it.

Totsuka: Limited bread, let's win it.

Mikoto: …Let's get this over with.

Munakata: Fushimi-kun. This day has finally arrived.

Munakata: In the past, I didn't go there myself because the bread was covered in red bean paste (anco). This time we're going to get the freshly-backed limited bread.

Fushimi: …Why do I have to go too…?

Munakata: Whoa…I knew they'd show up.

Fushimi: You mean the Red club?

Munakata: Yeah. Fufu…This is getting more and more interesting.

Saya: The heads of the Red and Blue clubs…

Shiro: If those two are here, then Neko's right, it's going to be a war. I think both of them will use their abilities.

Saya: In a place with so many students?

Shiro: Those two are like water and oil. When things heat up, it wouldn't matter what's going on around them.

Kuroh: These guys totally annoying. So what are we going to do?

Shiro: You're right…Want to challenge them?

Choice: [I want to challenge them!] ❤

Saya: (If there are so many people here, perhaps the bread Shiro-kun was talking about is really delicious)

Saya: I want to challenge them!

Shiro: Ahaha, thanks for the good reply. Well, let's do our best.

Choice: [I'd better not…]

Saya: I don't think we should. It would be awful to get caught up in a fight between the Red and the Blue club's…

Shiro: But we only get to eat it once a year, you know? Aren't you interested?

Saya: That's… *belly growling noises*

Saya: …Ah!

Shiro: Fufu-. Your belly seems to be very interested.

Shiro: We have nothing to lose. …Kuro.

Shiro: As head of the club, I order you to protect her and buy the bread.

Kuroh: It's not a firm order, but…I'll do it.

Saya: Eh, I'm going too?

Shiro: Uhm. It would be boring to be a spectator. Well, go on.

Saya: So many people…It's going to be sold out before I even get to the sales floor!

Kuroh: It's not a problem. …Hold on tight to me.

Saya: We floated in the sky…!

Kuroh: This is not floating. It's manipulating space to move.

Saya: …Like a teleport?

Kuroh: Close to that.

Kuroh: I'll guard the front of the sales floor. You take the lead. Hurry up!

Saya: U-Uhm. Excuse me, limited bread please!

Saya: …I bought it, Kuro-kun!

Kuroh: Great. Now, let's retreat quickly.

Mikoto: I won't let you.

Kuroh: Agh…!

Mikoto: Seems like that's the last one. If you don't want to get hurt, leave it.

Saya: The head of the Red club…

Munakata: Suoh Mikoto. I'm not impressed that you're threating a student.

Munakata: That bread will be confiscated by the Blue club.

Kuroh: …Damn it! We'll never give it up to either of you! It belongs to us, the Silver club. Let's go, hold on!

Fushimi: …Tsk.

Saya: (He threw a knife!?)

Kuroh: …Tsk, even though there are many ordinary students.

Saya: (What should I do? It's so scary…!)

Kuroh: Agh, your ability…We're falling, hold on!

Saya: Eh….Kyaaa!

Saya: …Ah.

Kuroh: Are you all right?

Saya: Uhm, I'm fine. Because Kuro was underneath me.

Fushimi: It would have been better if he had covered the bread, too.

Saya: Fushimi-kun…

Munakata: It's all in the sand. The Silver club can have it.

Fushimi: Captain, the other team captured some.

Munakata: Is that so. Well, let's go back to the club room.

Shiro: It's a shame about the bread. But don't worry about it. If not this year, there's always next year.

Saya: Uhm. You're right. I hope I can eat it next year.

Kuroh: …

Saya: Kuro-kun, what's wrong?

Kuroh: …When I was about to leave from that place, my ability was erased.

Saya: Uhm. Fushimi-kun is amazing, I can't believe he can do something like that.

Kuroh: No, that's not his ability. …It has nothing to do with the Red or the Blue club.

Kuroh: That's…Konohana. It's your power.

Saya: Eh…really?

Kuroh: No doubt. The power dissolved from contact with you.

Saya: My power…

Saya: (Why…because I was scared at that time?)

Saya: I don't know how that happened…Sorry.

Kuroh: Don't apologize. You are not the only one who did this. If I wasn't so untrained, I could have used your power.

Saya: That's not your fault, Kuro-kun…

Neko: You're all terrible! You left Wagahai behind!

Saya: S-Sorry, Neko-chan. …Eh.

Saya: What's with that large amount of bread!

Neko: Thanks to Wagahai's amazing ability, the bread was taken away from the Blue club!

Kuroh: It's called stealing…You really are a thieving cat.

Neko: Wha-at? If you say so, I won't give it to you!

Kuroh: …I take my words back. Good work.

Neko: Fufu-fu. Shiro, I'm glad your tactic worked out.

Shiro: Uhm. Thanks for your hard work, Neko.

Saya: What's tactic, Shiro-kun?

Shiro: A diversionary tactic…I guess that's what they call it. While you guys were drawing attention, I asked Neko to get it for me.

Shiro: I didn't think she would steal it, but…All's well that ends well!

Saya: Shiro-kun, amazing…

Kuroh: Really, an inedible one.

Saya: (Somehow I have a different ability again…What in the world is my power?)

It’s Always Been You Pt 6

(Kyoya x Male Reader)

Chapter six

-The Grade School Host Is The Naughty Type!-

A young boy wanders the Ouran academy’s many hallways, he wasn’t the usual highschool student shown by his dark green elementary uniform.

He finally heads to a door, and anxiously opens the door. He gets greeted by a rush of rose petals, he stumbled and fell backwards.

“Welcome to the Ouran Host club!”

The host club is adorned in Arabian style clothing.

“Oh it’s just a kid.” Hikaru spoked.

“Not only that, it’s just a boy.” Kaoru adds on.

“What’s wrong little boy? Did you come into my palace in search of something?” He spoke, reeking of confidence, the jewelry scattered about his body, shining.

The boy stands back up, looks at the blonde.

“Uh.. are you the king of this place?” The boy asked.

Tamaki’s eyes briefly widened.

“Well are you?” The boy repeated.

“Come closer lost one,” Tamaki said, as the boy walked towards him.

“What was it you just called me, little boy?”

“The king.” The boy responded.

Tamaki sighs dramatically.

“Ah, the king! Yes I am the king of the Ouran Host Club!” He celebrates, twirling around starry eyed.

“I’m an elementary fifth year, Shiro Takaoji!” The boy states, causing Tamaki to stop.

“I want the host club king to take me on as an apprentice!” He spoke, pointed at a shocked Tamaki.

The host club is now officially opened, filled with guests.

“Oh my Tamaki, you have an apprentice?” A girl questioned.

“Yes, he’s still in elementary school, but I like the fire in his eyes.” Tamaki calmly spoke.

“But are you sure it’s really okay for a young boy to become a host?” A girl worries.

“Why wouldn’t it be? Love has nothing to do with age. Take us for an instance, whenever I look at you, my heart starts pounding,” He leaned closer to the guests face.

“Suddenly, I feel no different than a love-sick little boy.”

“Oh, Tamaki..” the girl dreamily sighed.

The boy is right next to the two and glaring intently.

“Don’t you think it’s weird he’s making a kid observe him close up like that?” Haruhi question.

“It’s not the weirdest thing Tamaki has done.” Y/n shrugged.

“There is a theory that people are considered more beautiful the closer they’re viewed. Tamaki seems to live by that theory.” Kyoya spoked, writing in his notebook.

“Well, let’s leave them alone.”

A cry runs across the room.

“A carp!” One of Tamaki's guests shirks.

“Oh, don’t listen to him, he’s just a kid. You know how kids are, they can’t help but be honest.” Tamaki anxiously spoke.

“Honest!” The girl yells even more hurt at Tamaki’s idiocy.

“But that’s just his opinion! I wouldn’t say you looked like a carp, and even if you were you’d be the most beautiful carp of them all.” Tamaki spoke, digging his grave deeper.

“So I am a carp!” The girl cried.

“That’s not what I meant..” Tamaki sweats.

The girl runs off crying, calling Tamaki an idiot.

The boy rolls his eyes at the girl and sits down.

“Man what a crybaby.”

Hikaru walks over to the irritated blonde.

“So how’s it going boss? That’s an adorable little apprentice you got there.” He teased.

“Hikaru.. Do you wish you had a younger brother like Shiro.” Kaoru quietly mumbles.

Hikaru embraced his twin.

“Don’t be silly. I could search the globe and I’d never find a better brother than you, Kaoru.”

“Hikaru..”

The girls squealed, at the display.

“It’s forbidden brotherly love!”

Shiro backs up in disgust.

“They’re homos! And they’re brothers! That makes this totally insectuous!” As he backs up

“You mean incestuous” Tamaki corrects.

Honey pulls the boy to the side and jumps on his back.

“Hey Shiro-chan! Wanna have a piece of cake with me? We got all kinds!”

Shiro pushes honey off, and turns to look at him.

“Hey back off! What grade are you even in anyways? And why are you wearing a highschool uniform?” Shiro spoked.

Mori walks to Honey, towering over Shiro.

“Something wrong Mitsukuni?” He quietly spoked.

“That’s not fair! A little kid like you isn’t supposed to have a cooler older friend like him!” Shiro yells, and ends up bumping into Y/n and Haruhi, who is holding a tray of teacups.

“Are you alright? I know it’s kinda hard getting used to all the weird stuff that goes around here, it took me a while to adjust to the craziness, so don’t freak out, I’m sure you’ll get used to it.” Haruhi kindly smiled.

But the boy only stared intensely at the two.

Y/n furrows his brows and tilts his head.

“Something wrong?” Y/n looked at the boy.

“Are you a crossdresser?” He rudely asked.

“Excuse me?” Y/n, baffled at the boy's manners.

The twins and Tamaki rush in trying to conceal Haruhi’s secret.

“Okay that’s enough, I think Shiro should take care of the tea for us! Don’t you?” Tamaki nervously spoke.

Hikaru begins to pat Haruhi’s head.

“Wow Haruhi you’re looking extra manly today.”

Kaoru also begins patting Haruhi’s head.

“Now do what the boss says and let Shiro take care of that tea set, it’s part of his training. You're too macho for tea sets.”

Haruhi signs and hands the tray towards the boy.

“Now be pretty careful with it, it’s quite heavy.” As the tray gets handed to Shiro, he immediately drops it, shattering every single cup.

“It’s not my fault I dropped it. It’s yours because you’re the one to make me take it in the first place.” Shiro spoke with the utmost entitlement .

“Say what?” Haruhi mumbled.

“Haruhi, that’s another one hundred thousand yen.” Kyoya appears, writing in his notebook.

“Huh?!” Haruhi yells.

“Hey you should make the crossdresser do your stupid chores! I’m not here to carry tea sets! I'm here to learn how to make women happy!” Shiro complained.

“I am not going to let you disrespect Haruhi. Put this brat in isolation!” Tamaki commands.

“You got it boss!” The twins pull a switch, and a metal cage falls and traps the boy inside.

“What’s going on here! Why’d you put me in a cage all of a sudden?” Shiro screams.

“Yeah and where did it come from? This is supposed to be a music room, right?” Haruhi nervously sweats

“What can I say, he had it coming.” Y/n joked.

Shiro hangs onto the bars.

“This is no way to treat your loyal apprentice! Now let me outta this cage!” He fussed, shaking the bars.

Tamaki calmly sips on tea.

“Not until you’ve learned your lesson. I made You my apprentice because I thought you were serious about becoming a host, but I guess I was wrong.” Tamaki sighed, glancing at the boy.

“I am serious! Totally serious!” The boy yells

Tamaki sips on his tea, ignoring the kid's pleas.

“I want you to teach me how to make women happy!” He falls on his knees.

“I’m gonna run out of time… Please won’t you teach me? You’re a host because you like girls. You like bringing a smile to a girl's face. That’s why you do it right? Please won’t you teach me to be like you? You're a genius at it. You’re the king!” Shiro pleads.

Tamaki’s eyes widened at the compliment.

“Well you may be a brat but I admire your desire to become a host, so I’ll teach you!” He exclaimed, now standing up.

“You know Shiro, you and I are so much alike.” Tamaki hugs himself.

“Your poor kid.” Haruhi muttered.

“You might want to aim higher, Shiro.” Y/n snickers.

“Then you’ll help me become the kind of man that can make any woman happy?” Shiro looked at Tamaki hopefully.

“Of course, making women happy is the purpose of being a host. If this is what you really want, Shiro, then you’ll have to figure out how to use the material you already have.” Tamaki explained.

“What does that mean?” Shiro asked.

“You see, here at the Ouran Host Club our policy is to use our individual personality traits to meet the needs of the guest.” Kyoya looks at the boy.

“For example there is Tamaki, who is the princely type. There’s the silent type. The Boy-Lolita type. The Little-Devil. The Space Cadet. And the cool type.” Kyoya lists, as everyone groups together in front of Shiro.

“It’s all about variety. And now our group is complete with the addition of Haruhi, the natural.”

“The natural?” Haruhi points to herself.

“It would seem right now we have a perfect blend of characteristics. So it’s going to be difficult to find a new type for Shiro.” Kyoya continues.

“If you go by age, he should be the boy Lolita type.” Hikaru states.

“But Honey-senpai already got that covered.” Kaoru joins

Honey bursts into tears, and hugs usa-chan.

“Is he gonna replace me?”

A motor goes off, and gears grind against each other, revealing Renge on the platform.

“Oh come on, is that all you’ve got?” Renge's voice echoes across the room.

“What’s up with this place? It’s supposed to be a music room!” Haruhi complained.

Renge sighs at the group.

“Sorry to interrupt, gentleman but what’s with the lackluster character analysis? I must say I’m quite disappointed, I thought I taught you better.”

“Alright then Miss manger, how would you work Shiro into our collection of characters? He can’t be the boy Lolita because Honey has already got that covered.” Tamaki holds up a crying honey, similar to how you would hold a cat.

“You just don’t get it do you? Now listen up! There are plenty of girls out there who have a thing for younger boys or boys with baby faces. These would be called Shota fans. Now Shota can be a fairly broad category. So it’s important to know that the genre can be broken down into many smaller sub-categories. For example, Shota fans, with an interest in Lolita boys, would favor a boy like Haninozuka-senpai, but this boy is different if I had to pick a character for him…”

Renge thinks for a moment before pointing at Shiro.

“Yes! He’s the Naughty Boy Type without a doubt!” She confirmed.

“The Naughty Type?” Shiro questions as the cage surrounding him lifts up.

Training drills begin, with Renge blowing a whistle for every drill, and Shiro's patience grows thinner by the minute, he’s now covered in fake sharpie scars and bandages.

And before his torture to go any farther, he finally had enough.

“Agh! I’ve had enough of you people! This is so stupid, none of this is gonna make her happy.” Shiro gritted his teeth and ran out the club's doors.

“Wait Shiro, we haven't taught you how to apply the techniques you’ve learned yet!” Tamaki yells.

Renge’s motor turns on as she takes back down.

“I swear, younger boys are good for nothing, I went through all of the trouble of training him and he calls it quits!” She complains before disappearing.

“I can’t believe he just ditched us just because he didn’t like the lesson. What a selfish little brat!” He complains.

“There aren’t many people who would like that sort of lesson. But never mind that, did you hear what he just said?” Haruhi states.

‘I’m gonna run out of time. Please won’t you teach me?’

“What do you think it means by that… maybe it’s a girl?” Haruhi spoke, thinking out loud.

A few hours pass and the host club is now in an elementary-Middle school building.

“How did we let them talk us into this?” Haruhi questioned. Now wearing a middle school uniform and a long brown wig.

“It’ll be okay Haru-chan, it was so easy to sneak in, and wearing this uniform makes me really look like I’m in elementary school.” Honey whispered. He was now wearing the same uniform as Chiro.

“Yeah you do.. I can understand why they wanted you to wear an elementary school uniform, I mean we are sneaking into an elementary school and you totally fit in senpai. What I don’t understand is why they made me dress up in a middle school uniform.”

“Why did we even bother with disguises, we stick out like a sore thumb.” Haruhi complained, as Tamaki peered through a door.

“Oh there’s a reason, a damn good reason.”

Honey pulls Haruhi by the hand.

“This way Haru-chan!”

“Isn’t she just the cutest!” The twins swoon.

Tamaki sighs dreamily.

“Oh look at her in that mini skirt!” Tamaki slightly blushes.

“Haruhi looks like a wittle doll.”

“So basically you just wanted to see her dress up like that?” Kyoya states.

Y/n laughs, as Tamaki sweats.

As Haruhi and Honey open a classroom, the rest of the club follows.

“So the kid's empty classroom is it?” Tamaki spoke while looking around.

“This sure takes me back.” The twins state.

“I wonder if the doodles are still on my desk.” Hikaru looks at the top of the desks.

“Doubtful, the school changes out the desks every year.” Kyoya spoke.

Haruhi is irritated by the group.

“Let’s check out the cafeteria after this.”

“I want to see the old gym.”

“Hey, if you guys are just gonna barge in here like that then why’d we wear these stupid disguises.” Haruhi half whispered.

“Don’t worry about it, no one is going to catch us.” Hikaru looks towards Haruhi.

Footsteps echoed throughout the hall, getting closer each step.

Haruhi gasps and the rest of the club crouches between the desks.

“If the teacher find us-“

“We’re gonna have a hard time explaining why we snuck in.” The twins spoke.

Haruhi puts her finger to her lips and shushes.

“Shut up you guys! Just keep your lips zipped.” She makes a zipping gesture.

The twins, and Tamaki blushed.

Haruhi discretely looks out the door.

“It’s alright, he’s gone but if you guys we came here to get the scoop on Shiro.” She reminded the group, now standing.

“So what do you think we should do now?”

Kyoya stared at a framed photo hung on the wall.

“Well here is something interesting.”

All the hosts look over to kyoya.

Y/n walked towards him.

“What did you find?”

Kyoya points towards the photo, in it was Shiro and a girl playing piano.

“Oh hey that’s Shiro.” Y/n looked.

“So he’s in the classical music club.” Kyoya states with a knowing smile.

“He looks like he’s enjoying himself. Never thought I could see him this happy.” Y/n softly smiled.

The club's hosts make their way to the music room.

“There he is! There’s Shiro-chan!” Honey spoked excitedly.

Shiro was sitting in a window sill, looking out the window.

A young girl walks up to Shiro holding a music sheet.

“Excuse me… Takaoji? I’m sorry, but have you been practicing tye new piece Teacher gave us?” She stammered, hugging the sheet to her chest.

“The new piece? Not really.” Shiro answered, looking at the girl.

“If you want I can show it to you. Do you want to come play it with me?” She hopefully asked.

“No thanks, you go ahead. After all there’s only one grand piano. You should use it Kamishiro.”

Hina smiled.

“Thank you, I will then!” She closes her eyes.

“And if you want to join me, just let me know.” She giggles slightly, and sits down at the piano, and begins playing.

Shiro closes his eyes and listens to Hina’s playing.

A little girl walks out the music room.

“Pardon me mademoiselle.” Tamaki politely spoke. And the girl turns to look at him, as he offers a white rose.

“I’ve never seen a rose more lovely than you my dear.. here.” Tamaki hands the rose to the girl.

“I was wondering if you could tell me anything about the lady playing piano there?”

“That’s Hina Kamishiro, but you better now fall in love with her.” The girl states.

“Why?” Tamaki asked.

“Didn’t you know? Hina has to move soon. Her dad just got a new job in Germany. They will move there by the end of the week.”

Shiro rushed out of the room noticing the club.

“What'd you think you’re doing?! I want you idiots to leave!” He yelled.

Tamaki looks at him before picking him up and throwing him over his shoulder. And walks away with the host following.

Shiro screams and hits Tamaki, trying to leave his grasp.

“It’s time to go gentlemen!” He announced.

“First we put him in a cage and now we are kidnapping him. I think we hit a new low.” Y/n causally spoke, following the club.

Shiro gets placed back in the host club, as Tamaki scolds the boy, he pulls back a curtain revealing a piano.

“Wait a minute… since when did we have a piano?” Haruhi muttered.

“It’s a music room, why wouldn’t there be a piano?” Y/n smirked.

The rest of the club chimes in agreement.

The host room is quickly decorated, with a piano in the middle of the room, and when Hina arrived, she’s greeted by the hosts dressed in all white suits, and Tamaki pulls an empty chair for the piano

“If you please, princess.” Tamaki spoke.

Shiro, and Hina play the piano, finally finding his own way to her heart.

“It’s really incredible how Tamaki puts his entire heart into helping people.” Y/n calmly whispered only for Kyoya to hear, watching the two play piano.

Kyoya looks at Y/n who is mesmerized by piano.

He smiled

“It truly is.”

Don't quote me on this but japanese speakers on Twitter are freaking out over a question that Kubo answered on Bleach's official fan club (Klub outside). Hitsugaya is actually older than Hinamori. I don't speak Japanese so not too sure about it.

I'll preface this post by saying, like anon, do not quote me on any of this. I saw something big seemed to be happening in the Twitter fandom and just used Google translate to find out.

With that said, I saw the Japanese fandom freaking out about it yesterday. I didn't bring it up here because I also don't read or speak Japanese, so Google translate gave me some....interesting translations. However, the general gist is that it seems someone asked on Klub Outside a question regarding Hitsugaya's age and Kubo has said Hitsugaya is older than Hinamori. Needless to say, my reaction was basically this:

All this time it's been implied again and again that, while not specific about the number of years, Hitsugaya was the younger one of the two, and I'm not just talking about his height and appearance. Some have interpreted the way Hinamori treated him when they were younger is that of someone who's younger than her, and then of course there's the whole 'Shiro-chan' thing, so yeah, I was pretty bamboozled when I saw this.

If it turns out this is truly the case and canon, then seriously Kubo just drops these facts and let's the fandom freak out about them XD I don't know if he's just trolling, if he doesn't know just how much hitsuhina fans would freak out, or if he knows exactly what he's doing and expected this.

As for me, if this turns out to be true, it'll take a bit of rewiring because 1) I've shipped them for over 10 years and you tend to build up a pretty solid perception of the characters and ship over a time period like that (that being, in humans years, I headcanoned that Hitsugaya was 13-15 years and Hinamori was 16-17 years old),2) it's a pretty big fact to just causally give to the fans. Up until now (and for the foreseeable future until someone can translate the answer).

Honestly though, unless he's significantly older than her (I'm talking, like, if he's hundreds of years older, like he should actually be an adult by this point but for whatever reason he's stuck in the body of a teenager), it doesn't affect my perception of Hitsugaya and Hinamori all that much. While there were certainly fics I wrote where I had their ages in mind (ie Hitsugaya being the younger and Hinamori the older one), for the most part it has been a big factor for me while I was writing fanfic for them. It'd just mean I'd have to go with a timeline, based on my theories and headcanons about how each of them came to be in Soul Society, that looks more like this:

Hitsugaya was born in the Soul Society. Granny, whether related to him or not, took him in and raised him.

Some years or so later, Momo arrives in the Rukongai, having died in the World of the Living as a child.

Toshiro, still a young child because of how slow Soul's age in the Soul Society, meets her not long after she arrives in the Junrinan. This would techincally make him older than her even though, in human years, she was older than him when she died and came to the Soul Society.

However, until I see the answer get translated by a credible source (ie. someone who has translated answers before and hasn't receive many corrections on their translations), I'm still going to see Hitsugaya as the younger one between him and Hinamori. Again, it doesn't really affect how I see them or their relationship all that much if it turns out it was the other way around.

#hitsuhina #such a weird fact to drop #if it's true #asks #also disabling reblogging on this one #in case it turns out this is misinformation #and I don't want to spread anything that's not accurate to Kubo's answers on Klub Outside

Anime-Manga Comparisons, episode 13.

Oh boy, the Wonderland episode! Honestly, it’d be easier to write about the similarities between these two episodes rather than the differences, since these two episodes are so incredibly different. But both are actually pretty great in their own special ways, I just find it interesting and confusing why the anime decided to completely change the story.

For starters, in the manga it’s made clear from the beginning that the whole thing is just the hosts playing around. It starts off with the hosts breaking the fourth wall to explain that the theme was requested to them, and that the author wagered it’d be a safe choice since there are so many characters. Tamaki and the twins are excited to see Haruhi in a frilly dress, and she bemoans how the outfit is cumbersome, so the twins take over the role of Alice instead, because Haru just isn’t curious enough to ever follow a rabbit down a hole.

On the other hand, the anime starts with middle school Haru and light brown haired Ranka going to the academy to enrol her, with plenty of establishing shots of the school, inside and out. The painting behind her shows a similar little girl chasing a pink bunny, and before the zoom in we even see Kotoko under the tree on the left. I never noticed that before. It even looks like her appearance from the later Lobelia episode in her pink outfit. Ranka worries about her enjoying herself at Ouran, which is the overarching theme of this episode.

The manga and anime continue to be extremely different, as anime Haru chases Usa-chan as a living (living?) plush until he escapes via high powered motor, but the manga has the twins chasing White Rabbit Mistukuni (Mitsu-buni?) until he goes through a too small door and Nekozawa steps in as a mysterious merchant (who they point out was not a character) to give them a shrinking potion and offer them a Bereznoff puppet, Alice A (Hikaru) and Alice B (Kaoru) offer up Alice C (Tamaki) to drink it instead and then throw him to the wolves (The Roberia flowers) and abandon him.

Going back to the anime (Yeah, this is going to get very confusing, I foresee.) We see more callbacks to the earlier episodes, as Haruhi slips on a banana peel and falls into the hole left by the high powered motor and falls… into the same room to get her butt stuck in the vase. She then has to slither like a snail towards monkey Shiro (presumably the cause of all the bananas) to get help, and instead he eats a banana that causes him to shrink and runs off through a tiny door. Haruhi eats an entire bunch of five bananas, peels and all, and shrinks down, freeing herself from the vase, but not from the host club.

She then walks down a long, dark hallway, where we see the kanji for female in lightbulbs appear again, and then a final banana peel whisks her off to a long fall into a pool. I have Vietnam style flashbacks to the beach episode, and I think the overhead shot of her is meant to be a reference to her in the fountain looking for her wallet. The lack of music and focus on the water effects and the voices is actually pretty soothing. Haruhi and Kyoya both have very nice voices. Also Kyoya has very pretty lips.

I wonder if his warning about how Haruhi will be eaten in the pool isn’t strictly about the crocodiles, but rather about how so much grief can swallow you up. Maybe. Should I be analysing the silly homosexual supporting cast so much?

The roses would have been a nicer fit for the Lobelia girls (I’m using Lobelia as their anime names and Roberia as their manga names, aren’t I smart?) but I can’t deny it’s hilarious that they’re controlling robotic crocodiles rather than just being animals like the rest of the cast. Also hello to Kyoya in what is no doubt his silliest role of all time, and I’m including the live action drama in that.

It’s almost tragic that he looks like that, but honestly it’s still great, and it fits him. The manga just omits the caterpillar character altogether, which is weirder. In the original book the caterpillar is rude and and presented as mysterious and ambiguous, and in the movie he’s even more unhelpful and mean. In the anime Kyoya is presented as mysterious still, but Haruhi is aware of what he does, even if she can’t recall why. There’s ambiguity, but no sense of animosity between them. Also, Nekozawa becomes a baby and Kirimi becomes… ambiguously older. And bigger, in… certain areas. Kyoya forgoes the safety of a baby to flirt with a girl. Disaster bisexual at work. We'll return to him (or her) later.

Back to the manga and Tamaki-Alice. (Talice? Amaki?) he meets the Roberia roses, who are stunning and beautiful and I think I’d rather just stay here with them, but we must press on, unfortunately. Tamaki tells them he’s a man, and they call him a pervert for dressing up like that, which is rude! He looks great! And then they warn him about the black queen. Also they reveal Ranka is the red queen ahead of time, so there’s no big shock there. Even though the roses just attacked him, Tamaki is willing to save them from the black queen, until they show it’s Kyoya and Tamaki tries to chicken out because his gut tells him not to revolt. Finally everyone has had enough and they finally swap in Haruhi to play Alice’s role, and she looks so cute in that dress! So cute that the roses (Rose-beria? There’s so many puns to make here!) tell her to stay with them instead, but Haruhi goes off anyway. She’s not that interested in actually fighting the queen, but she’s true of heart and feels obliged to keep her promise, so she goes anyway. She meets up with some of the host club guests and Dr. Yabu from the physical exam episode to get information on how cruel the queen is, and finally to the well informed duchess, Renge! This is a similarity between the two, because she plays the exact same role in both and even dresses the same! The difference is that she’s going to court in the anime to be executed later, but Kyoya straight up sentences her to death in the manga with no court. Harsh, but fair. Hikaru also reappears here as her butler, and finally we see the biggest host of all: Mori! And he’s a very tiny baby named Moriko. Two guards come to take the duchess away, and her final cry for help to Haruhi is to gather a rescue team of gorgeous men to save her.

Ayanokoji appears here in the anime as a cook for Renge, but I’m not sure she ever reappears in the manga past her first appearance, I’d have to conduct a thorough investigation to be certain. She chucks a bunch of dishware at Renge, who is holding baby Nekozawa. Between her and Kyoya not giving a shit about babies, they should probably get together. Then again the baby turns into the curse doll, so maybe it’s fine he was in danger after all. I find it cute that Haruhi is still gentle with the doll and puts it down on a sofa before she leaves. She walks down another very long hallway while the twins bother her, but she’s quick to suss them out. They sound exactly alike in Japanese, but I don’t know if they do in the English dub. We also see Kanako dressed as a bird, floating in a teacup while staring wistfully into the sky and hoping Toru will come back soon. This seemingly adds nothing, but I like it anyway.

Back in the manga, Haruhi-Alice (Harice?) takes baby Moriko with her (who she says is ‘kinda cute’) on her quest to rescue the duchess, and then she meets the Cheshire Twins. They’re wearing almost the same outfits in each, except the anime gives them sleeves on their shirts, a bandana, and oversized cat paws. They tell Haruhi that they used to be a single person, until the queen split them in two after a prank. They also call the queen a grownup, which either means she’s actually an adult, or it’s a riff on Kyoya for being too mature for his age. Either works, really. Haruhi admits she’s starting to sympathise more with the queen. The twins try to get a reward for inviting themselves along on the adventure, but Mad Hatter Tamaki scolds them. Since Mistukuni is already playing the white rabbit, the march hare role instead goes to Shiro, but he’s called the May Rabbit instead… and he’s white. The twins call the hatter bogus and explain that he’s a fugitive who was jailed for performing some odd stage magic during a croquet game sponsored by the queen, but he broke out of jail. Tamaki offers to protect Haruhi and defeat the queen if she promises to marry him, which Kaoru points out is worse than them asking for money. Then the twins want to marry her.

Shiro then calls Moriko an ugly baby and causes him to cry. Shiro announces he’s going home while the others try to stop the crying, and Haruhi gives him a cookie from her pocket that causes him to grow into a man. A very naked man. The twins quickly clothe him, and he gives Haruhi a hug, and they all settle on whoever defeats the queen will secure Haru-Alice. She points out that there’s no more parallel and that it’s the old pattern remerging.

The anime scene is a little closer to the original, as Mad Hatter Tamaki and March Hare Honey announce there’s no room at the very long dining room table, or at any of the others. Haruhi, being who she is, simply accepts that and goes to leave until they demand she come back. They talk about her appearance, and Haruhi says it doesn’t matter whether she’s a girl or not, and then makes a callback to the last episode about his cavity, where Dormouse Mori wakes up to remind him to brush his teeth and then goes right back to sleep.

Mad Hatter Tamaki asks her a riddle about tuna, which isn’t really a riddle, and then yells at her when she gets it wrong, and the mannequin from the first beach episode returns, wearing the swimsuit Honey preferred, to offer wine. Hruhi points out it’s illegal for them to drink because they’re minors, and Tamaki and Honey say even though she’s not a very good Alice, she is pretty cute. The clocks strike three, and the hatter asks another riddle, how are he and her father similar?

He then asks her what else she’d do at Ouran, besides studying, and she’s confused by what else there is. And then we find out that the duchess is going to be executed.

Haruhi stands in as her lawyer, and a lot more presence is put onto the queen here. I wonder if this argument of a parent leaving their child for work was part of her own feelings, but she didn’t realise it. The king accuses her of breaking the vase, and Tamaki steps in to defend her, while also roasting the shit out of her for being boring. She then calls him by his name and the lights go up to reveal all the guests watching, and the other hosts appear and Ranka unmasks himself. He’s really happy to see her make ‘fine friends’. Until later on when he stands on Tamaki I guess, haha.

Of course, then we get the reveal that the queen is Kotoko, and for some reason it always makes me tear up. The clock chiming distantly as the dream fades out is sad.

And then we see the hosts dressed as their manga counterparts, which just makes me wish the black queen would step on me. I’d say enough about that, but now that the anime episode is over, it’s back to the manga, where black queen Kyoya is calling the team rats.

The team are immediately brought to the queen, to the dismay of Hikaru, who thought there’d be more action, and Kaoru bets it’s because they’re running out of pages. White rabbit Honey reappears with his double personality and dark mode, calling them vermin and telling them that if the queen had let him, he’d have finished them in an instant. The queen also justifies her executions and explains that everyone who’s caused trouble was also costing a lot of money, including the red queen. Haruhi feels the need to apologise for Ranka’s actions. Haruhi tells the queen that executions still aren’t right, and asks if she ever went to kindergarten (what kind of kindergarten teaches kids not to execute?) and the queen says no, she didn’t. The mad hatter then summons a giant griffon and it fights the black queen, and while that happens Haruhi finds a tiny Bereznoff eating a cookie in her pocket, and sends him to fight too. He grows large from the cookie, and presumably kills the queen? It’s not very clear. The last line explains that the queen and castle disappeared, and white rabbit Honey seems confused on where he goes, too. Nekozawa returns to become the White King, the Cheshire Twins, Mad Hatter, and White Rabbit argue over who’s going to marry Alice, only to turn around and find Alice is now Mori, and Haruhi wakes up from her dream to her mother Kyoya taking her home for dinner. The others are trapped in the dreamworld and Duchess Renge is still behind bars. Maybe the White King will save her, eh? Haha.

Episode 13… is a happy ending!
