Over the course of the series, Haruhi adapts to her new role while discovering the true identities of her fellow students.

The anime was produced by the studio bones and directed by Takuya Igarashi. It consists of 26 episodes and aired in 2006. The adaptation covers only the first eight volumes of the original manga by Hatori Biscuitleaving much of the story unanimated (a total of ten volumes).

One user mentioned that “there was not enough original material when the anime was made“ and that probably “They did not return to the series because it would not be profitable or would not significantly promote the source material.“.

Another fan expressed that “Ouran is less popular in Japan than in the West“which is a crucial factor. “If there is a sequel, it will be a complete reboot, not a second season.“, he opined.
