Like all the typical shoujo conventions pointed to Tamaki/Haruhi as being endgame, but up until that point, Ouran was a manga about poking fun at typical shoujo conventions, so I really thought it had a chance.
Plus I loved the idea of the twins essentially started as a Fred & George knock off, and then really developing into main characters of their own right and challenging the whole "identical twins stay identical in thoughts, feelings, etc" trope. I think it was perhaps the most original and genre defying route the mangaka could've gone.
Also, I just loved their chemistry more than Tamaki/Haruhi.

(Anonymous) 2014-07-19 01:14 am (UTC)(link)Saaame. Tamaki/Haruhi as a requited romantic couple is really dull to me, and it felt really shoehorned in the anime (only recently started the manga, so Idk if it's handled better there).
Re: Manga recs?
Mini-tangent, but I've met people who are like "oh yeah i'm a huge fan of fruits basket; i watched anime and really loved it. shame they leave it open ended like that" and I'm like "OMG READ THE MANGA; THE MANGA HAS AN ENDING; AND EXTRA CHARACTERS; AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL" and they're like "nope, not a manga person, maybe later." >:(
*breathes deeply*
Anyways, yeah. Ouran goes on for an additional 10+ volumes of content past the anime. Hikaru and Kaoru get so much more character development and depth. At one point Hikaru dyes his hair black because he's tired of people seeing him as one half of a matching set and only there for comic relief. He realizes his feelings for Haruhi, he makes them known (when I read it I was internally screaming because on the one hand "yaaaaaaay HIKARU" on the other hand "noooooo confessing first is a mark of ship death").
Tamaki's development on the other hand = "i feel protective of her. but i'm not her father. so what am i?" and all the other characters going "dude". And Haruhi being equally clueless, and all the other characters going "dude."
And meanwhile Hikaru is putting his all forward and I'm just crying because whatever I ship is always destined for doom.
