The August 2026 issue of LaLa magazine will come with a special bonus: a “Host Club BIG Acrylic Marker” featuring Haruhi and Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club. The issue goes on sale June 24, 2026.
Ouran High School Host Club is a manga by Bisco Hatori that ran in LaLa from 2002 to 2010. It is a school romantic comedy set at Ouran Academy, where scholarship student Haruhi Fujioka accidentally joins the Host Club. The series inspired a 2006 TV anime, a 2011 live-action drama, and a 2012 live-action film.
To celebrate LaLa’s 50th anniversary, the magazine’s August 2026 issue includes the Host Club BIG Acrylic Marker. Bisco Hatori has drawn new illustrations of Haruhi and Tamaki. The marker is approximately 4.5 cm by 4.5 cm—a large size that is sure to stand out wherever it is attached.
Furthermore, the September and October issues of LaLa, as well as the September issue of LaLa DX, will each come with a luxurious “Anniversary Book” bonus. These books will feature congratulatory illustrations and comments from many past and present LaLa artists.
Animate stores will offer a purchase-exclusive bonus with the August issue.
