Ouran Host Drama Announced

The July issue of LaLa Magazine that goes on sale in Japan next Tuesday will formally announce the development of a live-action television series based on Bisco Hatori’s shoujo manga series Ouran High School Host Club. The series will premiere on the TBS network in July. Haruna Kawaguchi (Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, Moshidora) will star as Haruhi Fujioka. Yusuke Yamamoto (Kamen Rider Kabuto, Hana Zakari no Kimi-tachi e) will co-star as host club president Tamaki Suo. The bestselling 2003-2010 manga series about a middle-class girl who pretends to be a boy working in her elite high school’s all-male host club was adapted into an anime television series in 2006.
