That's right everyone. Be excited. Be very, very excited. This July the beloved manga and anime series by Bisco Hatori that began way back in 2003 has finally become a live action drama with 23-year old Yusuke Yamato [who some of you may remember as the Nakatsu's 
aura-detecting roommate, Taiki Kayashima, in the Hana-Kimi drama] and 16-year old Haruna Kawaguchi [who played Himeji Rinka in the 2010 Yankee-kun to Megane-chan drama] as Tamaki Suoh and Haruhi Fujioka, respectively.
The now confirmed cast also includes the newlywed Yaguchi Mari's 6'4" husband, Masaya Nakamura, as Takashi Morinozuka, or Mori-sempai; and Yudai Chiba as his counterpart,
Haninozuka Mitsukuni, better known as Honey-sempai. The ever- calculating Kyouya Ootori will be played by Daitou Shunsuke [also from 
Hana-Kimi as Sano's younger brother Shin]. And for the infamous Hitachiin twins we have Shinpei Takagi and Manpei Takagi [who were both featured in Mei-chan no Shitsuji as the Akabane twins of the Hongo family]. 
Now for those of you unaware of what Ouran High School Host Club is, I highly suggest checking out the manga and anime. Seriously. It's amazing. It centers around Haruhi, a
very poor student attending a very rich school known as Ouran Gakuen. After accidentally knocking over a vase she couldn't pay for, she’s made to disguise herself as a boy and join the school’s Host Club to pay off her debt. And tell me, who can possibly resist this charming tale of a cross-dressing heroine stuck in a lush man-harem and the general silliness that comes with it?
