The Ouran High School Host Club TV anime is receiving its first major 20th anniversary merchandise campaign, including an Ichiban Kuji lottery starting October 24, and creator Bisco Hatori drew new art of Haruhi and Tamaki for a LaLa magazine freebie in June.
Two June 2026 announcements mark the first coordinated 20th anniversary push for the Ouran High School Host Club TV anime. On June 1, Hakusensha's LaLa magazine revealed that its August 2026 issue, releasing June 24, includes a BIG Acrylic Marker featuring Haruhi Fujioka and Tamaki Suoh, newly drawn by creator Bisco Hatori. The marker is approximately 4.5 cm square. This is the first standalone freebie featuring the pair in 15 years, and the new art is a rare return to the series by Hatori for the magazine's 50th anniversary celebration. The September and October issues of LaLa and the September issue of LaLa DX will each include a 50th Anniversary Book with contributions from past LaLa authors.
Two days later, on June 3, Bandai Spirits announced an Ichiban Kuji lottery for the TV anime's 20th anniversary, starting October 24. The A Prize is a two-shot figure of Haruhi Fujioka and Tamaki Suoh. Tickets cost 750 yen each. The lottery is the first major merchandise campaign tied to the anime's 20th anniversary. Together, the two stories establish that the franchise is receiving official anniversary recognition through both a magazine freebie and a premium lottery prize, but no new anime production or re-release has been announced.
