Who is gay in ouran highschool host club

I was really intrigued by this too, so I went to the aforementioned manga volume and this is what I found. It still absolutely makes sense for Kaoru to be gay, though. Moreso than most of the other hosts except maybe for Kyouya but that will have to be another discussion.

But where the series makes you think the two of them will start competing over Haruhi, Kaoru pretty much immediately bows out, and does everything in his power to set Hikaru and Haruhi up together. But — it also would be a very good way for a Kaoru who is discovering or hiding his homosexuality to avoid being questioned.

Has he liked girls?

Yes, Haruhi. That rationalization could be a huge comfort to someone who is going through something so earth-shattering. And having grown up his whole life seeing himself reflected in his twin, such a massive difference between them would be a giant crack in that mirror.

And from a narrative perspective, having such a significant difference between Hikaru and Kaoru would be an interesting source of drama, at least temporarily. And it would lead to very comedic situations involving their twincest act, too. Explore about me ao3 my art.
