Ouran High School Host Club/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

** On a related note, when Tamaki finally does tell him about Haruhi's fear of thunderstorms in episode 16 Hikaru does everything in his power to comfort Haruhi instead of teasing her. It's a massive [[Character Development]] and his first truly non-selfish act in the anime.

* Episode 14, Tamaki and Haruhi are in the pavillion in the hedge maze. Tamaki tells Haruhi the story of his childhood. In the Host Club, Tamaki would have been covered in sparkles, the background changes into a carpet of roses. Instead, he's surrounded by actual climbing roses and there's not a sparkle to be seen. There couldn't be a better way to show that Tamaki really feels something for Haruhi - whether he knows it or not. The string-heavy rearrangement of the opening theme helps, of course.

* Volume 12 of the manga, when Kyoya, who has repeatedly stated that he only does work when it profits him somehow, tears up the French countryside to the point of exhaustion, looking for Tamaki's mother.

** Later on in Chapter 78, {{spoiler|he yells at Tamaki's father for using his own son in his [[Plan]] without thinking about how Tamaki would feel about the outcome}}.

** And complete with a bromantic [[Headbutt of Love]].

* A moment exclusive to the live action drama -- in episode 5, it's revealed near the end of the episode that Kyoya also dove into the water to save Haruhi and was the most concerned for her safety.

** Not to talk about the book Tamaki was reading before he fell asleep: {{spoiler|Married Life for Husbands. D'awwww!}}

* The end of episode 18 ("Usa-chan, daisuki!"). And, for this Troper, the end of episode 20 with the perfect [[Close on Title|close on the title card]] "The Door the Twins Opened" was so heartwarming that it also became a [[Tear Jerker]].
