If there is any other anime that deserves a revival, Ouran High School Host Club is undeniably at the top of that list. If Kimi ni Todoke might get a sequel after a decade, a series that pretty much ended after its second season, so Ouranowhich also didn’t cover the entire manga, has a strong argument for a remake.

Kimi ni Todoke is successfully attracting new audiences while preserving its original charm for longtime fans. This further proves that the strategy of rebooting older anime is is commercially effective and receives broad positive audience engagement.

There is still much more of the manga to explore
The bottom line is that Ouran High School Host Club deserves a remake
The 2006 Ouran High School Host Club The anime introduced fans to the manga’s eccentric cast of characters and whimsical plot and received widespread acclaim from the public. However, the series ended after just one season, covering just a fraction of the manga’s 18 volumes. Due to this, many critical arcs and character developments were left unfinishedmaking the reboot the perfect opportunity to explore the unadapted stories and give fans a more complete experience that stays true to Bisco Hatori’s original narrative.

These stories not only expand on the themes of Ourano but it also provides satisfying resolutions that the anime had no chance of achieving. A reboot could introduce a new generation to the perfection that is Ouran High School Host Club while also providing longtime fans with the depth and closure they’ve been waiting for.
