A Letter to Anthy

Dear Anthy,

        I hope this letter finds you both well.  I can finally give
you a mailing address, as I have secured a new position.  Unless
something horrible happens, I expect to be here at least a year.
Longer, if I'm lucky.

        It must be my fate to wander the halls of academia, as
again I find myself working at a school.  In fact, my prior
experience at Ohtori Academy was key to landing this job.  You
see, my employer is Kyouya Ohtori.  That's not why he hired me,
but the coincidence gave me an opportunity to interview with him.

        Mr. Ohtori is a student here at Ouran Academy, in the high
school.  He's the financial manager for one of the clubs, and was
in the market for an assistant, someone who wasn't a student
here.

        This club is Ouran's Host Club, active in the high school.
Yes, I wondered what a "host club" could be.  

Of course a Japanese person would know what a host club is:

Still, an explanation for the running gag is most appreciated.  Now all 
you have to do is figure out how Renge has a rising platform built into 
the ground where-ever she goes.
