First, I'm gonna talk about maid-sama chapter 53. Initially, I only wanted to talked about Ouran chap 82 ONLY! However, I decided not to. I'll only talk about Kaichou wa Maid-sama Chapter 53 REALLY briefly. ^^
Honestly, there's not much progress in this chapter. *sigh ¬_¬* Though, the English spy, Cedric is his name, i think, IS SO CUTE!!! He only says "Nin-nin" AHHHHHHHH OMG THAT'S SO ADORABLE!!!! I kinda felt bad for him coz he was humiliated really badly. :P Ah well, wonder why he despises Misaki. o_o He's just making her infuriated and pumped up now. ¬_¬
NOW, OURAN!
Chapter 82 was released on 24th Aug in LaLa magazine. I've been refreshing Music Room 3 scanlation group's blog to check on any updates. Refresh and refresh. Till today. Good thing I actually check Ouran forum for updates. :P I was so ecstatic when I saw the thread of Chapter 82 Scanlation. I wasn't annoyed at all that it's only released now. Coz, we're reaching the climax, and I really want to savour the moment. And, perhaps, by prolonging the moment to read the chapter, I can somehow make it seems like Ouran will never end. In a way, I'm in denial. Nevertheless, I'm itching to find out how the date went. And, as expected of Hatori-sensei, she did not disappoint! Now that I think of it, I think I'm gonna do commentaries for every chapter of Ouran when I'm free, or at least, after A levels. Well, just a thought. But for now, Chapter 82 will be enough. ^_^
Ok, so in the previous chapter, Haruhi and Tamaki decided to go on a date at the amusement park. There's also the obscure hints about Haruhi's exchange programme to overseas. There's speculations that Haruhi might accept the offer.
Anyways, the chapter begins with Haruhi praying and talking to her mom's picture. She decides to go to Mei's place to get ready for the date and also she wants to avoid her father. (Ranka dislikes Tamaki a lot, imagine, now that his precious daughter is dating an idiot... yea, he would totally have lotsa things to say.) Haruhi is seen with the exchange program document. It seems that she's thinking about the offer, but unable to reach a definite decision, since meeting with Tamaki and the rest made her worrying about her decision. After she left, Ranka wakes up and becomes annoyed and quickly changes his clothes to ruin Haruhi's date -_-. However, he sees the document, highly likely that he finds out about the exchange program thing.
At the Suoh main residence, Tamaki, being deadly serious, is talking to Antoinette (aww, such an adorable dog! >.<) about the importance of his first date with Haruhi, and bla bla bla. In his exact words, "a precious ceremony that happens only once in a lifetime". A ceremony ¬_¬... So, he planned everything perfectly, and he even checked the weather. BUT...
he has no idea what to wear for their first date.
There's a panel that shows all of his clothes scattered around his room. -_- Antoinette (the adorable dog ^_^), also trying to choose his outfit for him. Tamaki then remembers what happened 2 hours ago, when he asked Kyouya for help. Kyouya told him to "go naked and get dumped on the spot." Lol. So, Tamaki's been thinking on what to wear for two hours. =.=
Since it's an emergency, and an important ceremony (the date), the Suoh's servants all decided to help him choose his outfit. It's pretty chaotic coz each servant has different opinion. Then, Tama's grandma showed up. (For an old lady, she's quite pretty. o_o) The servants then relay the situation to her and Shima-san, stating that it's an important ceremony with Haruhi. As Tamaki is about to explain about his relationship with Haruhi, Grandma cuts his words by saying "The men of the Suoh family won't be forgiven if they appear in inappropriate clothing when escorting a lady." Aww. This totally shows she accepts Haruhi. ^^ Oh, and grandma Suoh says that Tama's clothing has to be absolutely formal for such an important ceremony. Uhhh... formal attire in an amusement park... Okay... Then grandma Suoh begins ordering the servants around and dressing up Tamaki. Tama's father is also present and is about to say that he'll help Tamaki choose his clothes when grandma Suoh coldly tells him to scram. Lol. Yuzuru curls up in a corner and gets depressed. -_-;; And he also has something to tell Tamaki...
At the amusement park, Haruhi arrives first, looking really cute~ She's fussing and worrying about her clothing when the peeping group (Hani, Mori, the twins and Kyouya) finally make their appearance! The peeping group's plan: to watch the two's date, with them getting embarrassed so they (the peeping group) can mock them afterwards. Instead of passively watching, they are insulting Tamaki and hopes that he'll get dumped. Kyouya tells the group that Tama's most probably fussing over his clothes (he doesn't remember of what he said to Tamaki that morning). They're having a contest to see who insults Tamaki more. The twins hope that Tama will show up in a weird outfit so he'll get dumped on the spot. Hani senpai said that even Tamaki is not THAT stupid. And then Tamaki arrives with the most formal attire...
a Hakama.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! HE LOOKS SO STUPID! WEARING A HAKAMA FOR A DATE IN THE AMUSEMENT PARK!!! LOL!
The peeping group are beyond shock at the fact that he IS that stupid. Haruhi was also very o_ollll. At the main residence, grandma Suoh is shocked that what Tamaki meant by ceremony is actually a date. The peeping group then drags Tamaki to the nearby toilet and throws away his hakama, then throws Tamaki out, who is in casual clothes now, courtesy of the peeping group. Haruhi thought she was hallucinating, and says that she was about to go home when she sees him in that outfit. Lol. But Tamaki's stupidity didn't stop there. He leads Haruhi through a special gate that is adorned with a banner "Congratulations on first date <3" with two rows of staff on each side of the pathway welcoming them. They are showering them with flowers and telling them congratulations~ Haruhi and the peeping group are mortified. Goodness, Tamaki looks so much like an idiot. Haruhi, shocked and embarrassed beyond words, wants to go home already -_______________-lll
Sensing danger, the peeping group are trying to disperse the staff and crowd. In the end they are all drained out. Kyouya, who was always at the sideline, asks them what they are trying to do. Peeping group admits that they hope Tamaki and Haruhi will break up (=.=), however... if they leave Tamaki alone, he'll seriously get dumped in a single day. They are so contradicting. -_- But, such nice friends~
Tamaki then tells Haruhi that she looks incredibly cute (AWWWW!!!) and they proceed with their date, WHILE HOLDING HANDS!!! OMG SO CUTE~ AHHHH!!! *spazzing non-stop*
So far, the date went well. The peeping group are chilling out and feeling bored. Hani senpai comments that though Haruhi was cute since the beginning, now she looks like she becomes a real girl. Then, Kyouya says "Honey senpai, actually this is what..." Ahhh, what did Kyouya wanted to say! >.< Guess we'll found out in next chapter. Tamaki asks Haruhi to feed him, and the twins were like "the fuck!" Haruhi is embarrassed and tries to avoid having to feed Tamaki, but Tama is resolute~ As they both banter around, the twins are getting annoyed and have dark looks on their face. Finally, Haruhi gives up and is about to feed him when...
a sandal is thrown at Tamaki's face.
The suspects: the Hitachiin twins, using the excuse that Haruhi was about to snap. Kyouya and Hani tells them off. Then, Haruhi suggests they go visit the Haunted House. Tamaki is scared, not coz of the Haunted House, but because he is reminded of that morning's event, saying that Kyouya's is absolutely frightening when he wakes up and concludes that he's the devil or the incarnation of a demon. Just then, three huge murderous piggies appear behind Tamaki, and in the next panel, we see Tamaki all beat up, and the piggies are revealed to be Kyouya's three bodyguards.
The couple then go to see the beluga (what is it? o.o) in the aquarium area. The beluga looks like a dolphin ans is absolutely ADORABLE!!! OH MY GAHHHHHHH~ <3 As the couple talk for a bit, a random kid fell down and starts to wail REALLY loud. Tamaki tries to calm the boy and does some magic trick, conjuring up flowers out of nowhere. The lil boy is amazed and so does the crowd. As a finale, Tamaki conjures a wand, which turns to a shower of flowers~ Wahhhh~ it's pretty cool! If only a guy do magic tricks for me LOL! Tamaki actually practiced the magic tricks for Haruhi, and the peeping group are amazed that he really did practice magic tricks. Tamaki tells Haruhi that he loves amusement parks and aquarium, coz that's when everyone is having fun. And because the people are having fun and very excited, he also feels excited and wants them to have more fun. By getting involved in the Suoh's business, he feels like this even more. Tamaki then thanks Haruhi, coz she's the one who pushed him to that direction i.e. making him realised his purpose and what he wants to do with his life. Haruhi is about to tell Tamaki something (I presume it's about the exchange program), when suddenly...
THE ZUKA CLUB APPEAR!!!
The twins and Hani senpai are shocked beyond words. The Zuka club all cuddle around Haruhi, stating that she looks especially cute and they are about to drag her away. Tamaki tries to get Haruhi away but he failed and that's when the peeping group aka the Host Club make their grand appearance!!! What Kyouya says was pretty interesting, "Those who get in the way of love's path will be kicked by horses." Is he saying the Ouran host club are horses? o.O Anyways, Kyouya pushes Tamaki and Haruhi away and says that to leave the rest to them. The couple then escapes. The Zuka club pres (I think her name is Benio Or something that starts with B) confronts the Host club and asks whether Haruhi already quits the club. The twins denies this and the Zuka club pres becomes heated, and retorts how long are they gonna keep her real gender a secret? And that the Host club can't go on like this coz sooner or later, everyone will find out Haruhi's secret, coz Haruhi looks utterly and totally like a girl. The twins got annoyed, but Kyouya stops them and agrees with the Zuka club. Not only coz of Haruhi's new development with Tamaki, but that it is impossible for the Host club to keep hiding Haruhi's secret forever. Kyouya then says that there's something he had noticed some time ago...
This chapter contains some discussion on how Haruhi totally looks like a girl now, as well as discussion about her secret. It seems to me that this is some kind of foreshadowing. As the series comes to an end in the next chapter, I suppose Haruhi's secret might be revealed in the last chapter. I wonder what did Kyouya noticed. =/
Tamaki and Haruhi are running towards the exit. Apparently, Tamaki wants to bring Haruhi to another place too, but due to certain circumstances (the Zuka club), they will have to go there much earlier. Then someone calls out Haruhi, "YOUNG MAIDEN!!!~" The couple stop at their track and turned...
The Zuka club, with the pres right up front, are dashing towards them, and the Host club are behind them!
Tamaki then asks Haruhi to run towards the Central Square's Fountain for a diversion. As they both arrived at 1 o'clock...dozens of white doves appeared fluttering around~ It was a beautiful sight! Turns out this is another of Tamaki's magic tricks. It's sooooo beautiful, doves flying around~ SIGH~ TAMAKI IS SO SWEET TO HARUHI~ Like I've said, if only a guy do this for me~
The doves proved to be a perfect distraction for the Zuka club. The couple are able to escape, and the doves are flapping around the Zuka club. Mori whistles, and all the doves flew towards him. LOL! Mori, the dove tamer! Animals really love Mori, eh...
The place that Tamaki wanted to bring Haruhi to was actually Haruhi's mom grave. He wants to pay his respect to Haruhi's mom. Haruhi's dad, Ranka, is also at Kotoko's grave. It seems that he doesn't really want to be apart from Haruhi yet, and thinks that whether it would have been better if he didn't let Haruhi to enroll in Ouran Academy. Ranka overhears Tamaki and Haruhi approaching and proceeds to hide somewhere. Tamaki kneels in front of Kotoko's grave, and declares that he loves Haruhi. Tamaki then lists out Haruhi's virtue and traits, saying that he loves every side of her. And that he wants to be by her side and keep on supporting Haruhi. Tamaki then asks Kotoko to look after Haruhi even if she has to go somewhere far away in order to pursue her dreams. Turns out, Tamaki knew what Haruhi was about to tell him. Apparently his dad told him only that morning. The document is about an exchange program with a high school in America, and it's for one year.
Haruhi admits that she was unsure at first, since there's a lot of things she wants to learn in Ouran... and that if earlier, she would have accepted it right away, "But now..."
Tamaki just smiles and said "But in the end, you decided, right?" Haruhi said yes. Spending the day with Tamaki made her resolution even stronger, and that she wants to become better, in order to be able to stand at Tamaki's side.
Haruhi's decision: she will go to America.
And the chapter ends... Arghhhhhh!!! ONE MORE CHAPTER!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!! T.T It's been so long, I've been in this journey for a long time, and now it will comes to an end. I really hate this feeling. It's not my first time feeling like this. First prominent time was Harry Potter series and Fruits Basket. God, I feel like crying right now. I love Ouran. It's one of the best manga I've ever read. I love every part of it. Eventually, everything will come to an end. Life, school, childhood, tv series, book series, and even manga series. Sigh... T_T I hope that, the last chapter will not be too rushed... I'm actually hoping Hatori-sensei to do a spin-off series about the rest of the characters in Ouran.
I'm still hopeful *_*
