Balancing Darkness and Lightness (Ouran HSHC Eps 10-12)

Shoujo Sundae

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana discuss episodes ten through twelve of Ouran HighSchool Host Club. In episode ten, Giana begins to understand the potential chemistry between Haruhi and Mori. Chika discusses why she’s chosen to use they/them pronouns for Haruhi’s father. Episode eleven is one of Giana’s favorites! Chika gets a big kick out of Renge’s involvement in Nekozawa’s training to withstand the light. Giana discovers a new Sprinkle on Top about the episode towards the end of Floats Your Boat. Chika unpacks the potential deeper meaning behind Tamaki adamantly declaring himself as Kirimi’s new big brother. In episode 12, the girls are Banana Split about Mori’s mental gymnastics to feel guilty for Honey’s cavity. Chika discusses some interesting poll results from our “who’s your favorite host” polls on Twitter and Spotify.
