Episode was great. I liked how it showed that media might not always tell the truth and stuff in a comical manner. Tamaki's dad being superintendent of Ouran was kinda funny to.

Tamaki was adorable in this episode. All of the little "puppy" scenes had me squealing, and I'm not one to squeal.

It was just really good, and I love this anime.

This episode was hilarious. XD "STARLIGHT KICK!!!" (Tamaki has variety of different kicks he uses...)
I love how for the news report on their club, Tamaki has everyone play "commoner's games" for accessibility, when the newspaper's for a school full of rich people. And of course he envisions the cover of the paper having a picture of him and Haruhi together.

Tamaki barking like a dog was hilarious, That newspaper editor guy of the club was so annoying trying to ruin the Host club.
Thank Goodness he failed due to Kyouya's genius with that tape recorder. xD
4/5.

I feel sorry for Tamaki but things turned out good in the end. Haruhi is blind you'd think she would know all this being clever and all (the end), Koyoa is so schemish

Poor newspaper club. It's a fact that media don't just broadcast truth ones.
And Tamaki's father is the superintendent of the academy.
I think Haruhi got stabbed with the information. :)

great episode ^^

i actually thought the news paper club would try to expose Haruhi for being a girl.

Haruhi in twin tails is gorgeous!! can't believed they didn't suspect her to be a girl!!!

those puppy eyes!!! even Haruhi copied Tamaki-senpai XD

and lol Kyouya is pretty much already showing that his the true leader of this group yet they didn't even cast suspicion on him!

yay Tamaki and Haruhi all alone in the woods! seems Tamaki didn't have a lot of friends back then, so that's why he's enjoying the time with everyone in the fullest!

and wow so basically Tamaki owns all of Ouran School!!! heck he doesn't even need to go to class at all XD

lol Haruhi's expression "eh" all the way!!

want some more episode!!

Haruhi reaction at the end was priceless xD
I wonder how Tamaki being the director son will become relevant to the plot.

Tamaki doesn't have an hidden face... He's just an idiot! :P

Awwwn, we saw Haruhi blushing :3

Tamaki and company playing ''proletarian game'' xD

That club was pretty nasty, but Kyouka owned them good.

Since the beginning of the episode I thought the newspaper club was evil and needed to die. Tamaki is so foolish lol, but everything turned out well thanks to Kyoya.

This episode was great.

The newspaper club president, who was envious, wanted to put Tamaki down by finding his flaws and such, but failed in the end. That club couldn't do anything against the host club's power.

They all really love Tamaki-kun. His puppy eyes are adorable. So his parents managed the Ouran school. So that means, Haruhi was enrolled with the aid of Tamaki's family.

That's a pretty long pause at the end there.

How come he had the bump/bruise on his forehead, when the ball that came through the window hit him in the back of the head? xP

Anyways, funny episode. I loved puppy-senpai xD I can just imagine Vic Mignogna in a studio making barking noises. xP

So Tamaki is the chairmans son...Interesting =3

Funny episode,but the remarks of the newspaper guy towards Tamaki were very ironic considering that he himself is using his powers to manipulate those around him.

But,he might be proven right if Haruhi starts doubting Tamaki and starts asking herself if she actually got in through her hard work or the pity from the rich kid towards the "commoner". A potentially interesting plot point if they actually plan on following through on it. Can't wait to see how this develops!

I just love that she is meant to be an honor student but doesn't even know who owns the school. That seems like someone you would learn the name of at some point.

i know i just said that last episode is one of my favs but THISSS ONE. definitely above that

mainly because of wan!tamaki like come on COMEE ONNNN dont tell me you didnt smile at that.
we also got to see more of tamaki's lore, and how the members' relationship with him are. despite him being a complete too-kind and caring idiot, they love him very much. also got info on little tamaki kinda, his mom was sick a lot so he stayed by her side most of the time and that resulted in him to not have many friends
haruhi not even knowing who the principal is😭😭 girl fr just wanted to enter this school to graduate

OH ALSOOO this was kaji yuki's seiyuu debut role right? the blonde guy in the newspaper club. so many great seiyuu's in this show damn

That was actually very charming that despite Tamaki getting Haruhi and himself lost, he actually spent time talking about his past to her. Explaining to her why he never played games until he was introduced to them via Haruhi was very sweet. And also his barking was hilarious. I love how the guy who was running the newspaper club wanted to "expose" Tamaki because the Host Club was more popular than the club he's running made him bitter towards him cuz he couldn't handle the fact that his newspapers weren't selling and that it was nothing but gossip trash and was essentially just throwing a hissy fit because of it. It's a good thing the rest of the Host Club caught on to what they were doing, man hiding the CD within the medical kit and using to spy on them was a stroke of genius from Kyoya's part. Such a magnificent beast that one. Great episode once again.
