Ouran High School Host Club is a story that takes place primarily at Ouran High School, an exclusive institution for students from incredibly wealthy and affluent families. One exception is scholarship student Haruhi Fujioka, a young student from a lower-middle class family. Because of the superlative cost of the school uniform, Haruhi resorts to wearing long slacks, polo shirts and a vest that resembles the male student's uniform with large glasses and tousled short hair. Therefore, upon entering school, Haruhi was assumed to be, by most, a male student.
