Merry Christmas! - Anime/Manga

It's time to celebrate Christmas HFG-style!  This first installment of Christmas pics has an anime/manga theme. There's a good variety to be found, including pics from shows I haven't even featured here yet.

First up, Kuroshitsuji's Ciel and Sebastian want to wish you a Merry Christmas:

Next, the Ouran High School Host Club descends from the sky bearing gifts:

Kagome tries to cuddle with Inuyasha in this pic:

Two of the couples from Junjou Romantica celebrate Christmas in these manga scans:

The Get Backers join in the Christmas fun as well:

The first Code Geass pic is a group pic while the second one has Lelouch wanting to show you a Merry Christmas:

 

 

The Christmas pics from Kyou Kara Maou are really cute.  Here are two of them:

 

 

 
I like Lockon's green Santa suit in this Gundam 00 pic:

The main characters of Gundam Seed/Gundam Seed Destiny seem to combine Christmas and New Year's in this pic:

The characters of Full Metal Alchemist go Christmas shopping in this pic:

 
I don't know if this La Corda pic is really Christmas-themed or not...but it does have snowflakes:

And finally, could you imagine if Santa looked like one of these guys from Prince of Tennis?:

Look for the second Christmas post later today!

Ouran High School Host Club

Ouran High School Host Club looks like one of those "reverse harem" anime shows I've featured on HFG before but it's different. It's actually a sly satire of those types of shows and of shoujo anime.

It revolves around a girl named Haruhi who is a student (on scholarship) at an exclusive private school. She stumbles upon the host club and ends up in their debt. To pay it back, she cross dresses as a guy and joins the club (she's the one with the short brown hair).

Every male character in this show represents the stereotypical guys of these harem shows. There's the charming beautiful one, the cold and calculating one with glasses, the one who looks like a little boy, the stoic and silent one, and the borderline incestuous twins.

This show will be coming to DVD sometime this year (hopefully) and I can't recommend it highly enough. It's a great show that's funny even if you have little experience with this type of anime. And the guys are actually quite attractive.
