“Oniichama is a Prince”

The Fetish Brigade come to the help of a young girl, who turns out to have intense knowledge of decadence and reverse harems.

Nekozawa Kirimi, the sister of the occultist Nekozawa, comes to the high school section of Ouran High to find her brother. She cannot accept that the darkness loving fellow offered to her is her brother, so she latches onto Tamaki.
This will not do! Renge must place Nekozawa through an intense training regiment so that the siblings will be reunited in a blaze of love and glory!

This is the most standard of all Ouran High School Host Club episodes so far, but it is not without its charm. The jokes that recur do so with reason, and so we are presented with something entertaining on that level.
I also thought that Renge’s “Spartan” training regime was quite funny, but that may have been because of a similar regime in an episode of City Hunter (translation: it’s one of those things that I like but do not expect anyone else to).

The emotional core of the episode was sound, and I felt sympathy for the situation. The conclusion was pat, but in a good way: I think that it was both a valid story and a nice compromise on characters without having anyone “break”.

We also see another rare facet of the series: Kyouya looking amused by the situation that he is confronted with. Ouran High School Host Club: bringing you more of the same with a slightly different flavour.
