Bandai’s Ichiban Kuji lottery for the 20th anniversary of Ouran High School Host Club is now running in Japan. Attempts cost 750 yen. In-store sales began October 24 and online sales started October 28. It runs through late January 2027 or until supplies last. The A and Last One prizes are figures of Tamaki handing Haruhi a rose. The B prize is a ceramic replica of the vase she breaks in the first episode, the accident that puts her in debt and forces her to join the host club. Everything else is standard anniversary merch: small figures, towels, stands, and charms. The original anime ran 26 episodes in 2006. Most prizes mark the anniversary. The vase is the only one that recreates the exact moment the series starts.
