Line 18:
** Kasanoda getting accepted by his classmates as a nice guy.
** Just the fact that {{spoiler|all of the Host Club decides to studying abroad to be with Haruhi and Tamaki}}.
* [[Die for Our Ship]]: Eclair, in the anime.
** In the manga, [[Kissing Cousins|HunnyxMori]] fans wish Reiko a horrible demise, or just pretend she doesn't exist.
*** {{spoiler|[[Ship Sinking]]: Honey/Reiko is official in the [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]].}}
Line 24:
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Come on, who ''doesn't'' love Nekozawa?
* [[Fan Nickname]]: "Haruhi Potter".
* [[Fan-Preferred Couple]]: In spite of the [[Official Couple]], there are still many Hikaru/Haruhi shippers.
** There are almost as many people who ship Kyoya/Haruhi as there are HikaHaru shippers- if not more.
** Or Kyouya/Tamaki shippers.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: That episode where a boy thought Haruhi was a cross-dresser. Then we meet her father.
** The creator early on in the series said she couldn't see Haruhi getting together with Tamaki. ''Guess how it ends''.
** [[Maaya Sakamoto]] (Haruhi) and [[Kenichi Suzumura]] (Hikaru in the anime and Kaoru in the drama CD) recently (as of August 2011) got married. This way, the Hitachiin twins/Haruhi [[
* [[Ho Yay]]: Hikaru and Kaoru, Mori and Honey. Kyouya and Tamaki are not without subtext as well (being "mommy" and "daddy," and so on...)
** There's also a more subtle one with Kyoya. When Tamaki calls the rest of the host club (other than Haruhi) the homosexual supporting cast, Kyoya is annoyed. However, he's only annoyed by the 'supporting' line, he doesn't seem to care that he was called a homosexual.
Line 40:
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Kyouya, Tamaki, the Twins, and the Zuka Club all have their moments.
* [[Memetic Outfit]]: Haruhi's first appearance is a wee bit...unflattering.
** Aaand, it has returned~! Haruhi goes back to her frumpy outfit in chapter 76 of the manga {{spoiler|to protest the banning of the host club and send a message to Tamaki, who has been forbidden to talk to her}}. Looking back at chapter 1 with the same outfit it's easier to see some [[Art Evolution]], too.
* [[
** That being said, Haruhi paired up with the Twins is a fairly popular [[
* [[Periphery Demographic]]: There are a surprising amount of male fans. The fact that it [[Affectionate Parody|pokes fun at]] a genre that males might find a little ridiculous is a key factor. And although the guys don't swoon over most of the Host Club members, Haruhi is [[Moe|so cute!]] Plus it's [[Rule of Funny|just plain funny]].
** The end of chapter 82. {{spoiler|"Yes, I will go...I'm going to America."}}
* [[Moral Dissonance]]: {{spoiler|Kyoya pretends to sexually harass Haruhi after the thugs at the beach incident}} to make her realize {{spoiler|how vulnerable she is to boys}} and convince her it's good to apply some common sense every now and then. Of course, it's generally good advice, but it's rather nasty to {{spoiler|threaten sexual assault}} just to make a point.
** {{spoiler|It's likely Kyoya was still angry at her for frightening them. And she didn't seem to be getting the point otherwise. Also, Kyoya seems to like, and even play up the rest of the characters' view that he's secretly [[Token Evil Teammate|evil]] so while it was still really creepy, and kind of a [[What the Hell, Hero?]]? moment, it's not exactly out of character.}}
*** The whole thing is just ridiculously victim-blaming, whatever excuses you throw at it. Likely a result of [[Values Dissonance]] as well.
