Episode 22 - The Desire to Apprentice to Mori-senpai
Japanese Title: Mori-senpai ni Deshiiri Shigan
Based On: Volume 8/Chapters 34-35
Airdate: August 29, 2006
Summary: Kasanoda Ritsu is a tough first year student in Class 1-D, and the successor to the third generation master of the Kasanoda-gumi, the most powerful yakuza group in Kanto. He's especially known for his intense stare, which can freeze and scare people on the spot. But what's this? He wants to be an apprentice to Mori-senpai?
Kasanoda doesn't talk much and has no friends. To his classmates, he's feared as the "human blizzard". Anyone trying to approach him will turn into ice. Kasanoda was born with a scary face and raised with a yakuza education. Because of that, no one dares to come near him, and he's been lonely all this time, wanting to have fun with everyone. However, he has no idea how to interact with others.
Kasanoda wants Mori to teach him how he can get so many people to admire him while also having a scary face and being emotionless, uncommunicative, and unsociable... Mori, during all this, is pretty much shocked since he doesn't view himself this way. Despite that, Kasanoda asks Mori to tell him his secrets.
Mori seeks Tamaki's help in aiding Kasanoda, which the blonde king gladly does. It's up to the Host Club to transform Kasanoda into a charming, approachable person!
The attempts fail, but during all this, it looks like someone is targeting Mori, planning to do him harm. Meanwhile, Kasanoda starts to see Haruhi in a different light, thinking "he's" like a girl. Later on, it turns out that a couple of yakuza students from another group were actually targeting Kasanoda, not Mori. Red paint meant for him gets on Haruhi instead, and Tamaki frets over her.
But when someone walks in on Haruhi changing clothes, Tamaki has a much bigger problem on his hands!
