In the anime series 'Ouran High School Host Club' what's Tamaki's reasoning
behind making Haruhi a host?

If she had continued on as an errand boy, the debt would have been paid off
eventually... even if it took years.

The hosts don't charge any of their customers, and even if they did... Tamaki
tells Haruhi she only needs to get 100 customers for her debt to be erased,
and unless they were charging a fortune 100 customers wouldn't even come close
to paying off her debt.

So, what's in this deal for Tamaki? At the time of the 100 customer
arrangement he's not attracted to her, he still thinks she's a boy. So it
can't be that he just wants to keep her around.

Is it a personal challenge for Tamaki to see if he can train the "commoner"
well enough to get 100 customers?

What's his reasoning?

Tamaki's reasoning for making Haruhi a host?


The way I see it, Tamaki doesn't care about money at all. He started the host
club merely as a form of entertainment for himself. When he noticed how good
Haruhi looked (even in "male" form) he decided that adding "him" to the club
would only make things even more interesting. While I have found nothing to
actually support any of this, it's something that I believe is a very
plausible answer.

answer


Haruhi is made to join the Host club as its "dog" after breaking the vase.
They were all initially just going to use her as an "errand boy" since she was
just a commoner, and they used fear and power over her to do this. After
giving her a uniform to wear, so that she would be dressed appropriately,
Tamaki becomes so enamored with how she looks that he decides to move her up
in rank, making her an official member of the club, a host, as well as
changing the terms of her debt repayment.
