While FUNimation released their SD remaster of the series back in March of 2010, the Japanese release is now on the way for those that don’t want to partake of the US release. This new edition will be spread across five discs and according to the ad in NewType, it says it will be an HD remaster in the same vein as the FUNimation release but likely won’t be using the same materials that FUNimation did for theirs. The specs for the new set are incomplete at this point but it will contain all twenty-six episodes for 26,260 yen.
Plot summary: Ouran High School. An institution of extravagance and prestige where learning is secondary to luxury. Bookish Haruhi can’t afford to slack, being on a scholarship and out of place among the moneyed. No matter – the Host Club is now open! A group of handsome boys dedicated to selling their charms to their bored female classmates, Haruhi is suddenly in debt to the club after breaking an expensive vase in their lair. The only way to pay for the damage? Haruhi will work as a Host! The only problem? Haruhi is a she!
Between the wildly inflated ego of the expert escorts and the potential calamities of constant cross dressing, Haruhi’s freshman year looks like it will be one to remember.
