Chihana no Hosuto Kurabu – the Host Club of One Thousand Flowers. Hardly a year in age, already Chihana has gained massive popularity in the Kabukicho region of Tokyo, and beyond. The name Chihana is repeated quietly throughout the city, and more and more frequently into other cities. The club has gathered hosts almost as quickly as it has gathered an audience – boys ranging in age from eighteen to their late twenties, desperate for employment or eager to please the women, venturing from a variety of different backgrounds to serve here, in what has come to be known as Tokyo’s most elegant host club.

This is the story of the Chihana hosts – an elite group of entertainers, talented and beautiful and eager to please – learning to survive in this wild world of flirting and drinking and high prices. The competition for the position of First Host is fierce, and no one can guess what might happen as each host scrambles to gain the most named customers before the year is out. Only time will tell.






This is no seedy nightclub, not some place with a dance-floor and a bar and strobe lights to cover up the unpainted cement walls. This is a high-class club, with polished wooden walls and soft, color-coordinated furniture, decorated by expensive flowers. There are many rooms in the club, all linked by an intricate series of curved wooden staircases, which descend into one main area. Here, the floor is of polished stone, with a large bar at the back and marble waterfall fountains surrounding the front door. In the central rooms, there are plenty of couches and chairs, where guests and hosts alike can congregate and enjoy time together, as well as apart.



The rooms are as different from this modern, high-class center as they can be, though they are still remarkably elegant. Modeled after traditional Japanese houses, the rooms are screened off from the hallways by sliding paper doors with wooden frames. Within, the floors are tatami matts, with tables to kneel at and cushions to kneel on. Food and drink are served in private here. There are also futons which can be rolled out for cuddling, though it is expected that hosts will not have sex with their clients except under very special circumstances (such as a very long-standing customer, or one who pays much more than their fee.)



Most of the hosts live in the apartment complex above the club – the higher level the host, the nicer the apartment the manager of Chihana presents them with. Hosts switch apartments as quickly as they switch ranks, so most of them do not own very much. The arrangement is advantageous, allowing hosts to live close to work, and allowing them to retreat to their own apartments to rest between customers, or walk shorter distances to their beds when the day is done. There are problems, however, as fierce competition for ranks breeds tension, and living constantly in close quarters with the other hosts can cause some problems. On top of that, only the top three hosts have their own, individual suites. Everyone else must share with another host, which can either breed tight friendships, or severe misfortune.





There are many rules involved in working and serving at Chihana, and there are almost as many rules for the customers. Breaking any of these rules is a serious offense – though some are more serious than others – and breaking too many will see you banned from the club, whether you are a customer or a host.



1. Never give your identity away to a customer.
2. Relationships between hosts, or with customers, outside club hours are forbidden.
3. Sex is not for every client.
4. Never be seen drunk in front of a customer.
5. Never argue in front of a customer.
6. Never cause physical harm to another host.
7. Do not steal, or attempt to steal, other hosts’ customers.
8. Any tabs not paid by the end of the year by your customer will come out of your salary.
9. Respect the rankings.
10. Do not steal from the bar or the kitchen.
11. Arrive on time and do not leave until the end of the day, unless you have permission from the Manager.



1. Treat the hosts with respect.
2. Do not force yourself on the hosts – it is up to the host to invite you to their bed.
3. You must pay your tabs by the end of the year.
4. Do not switch hosts once you have chosen, unless your host mistreats you or leaves the club.
5. You may send gifts to your host.
6. You may share your phone number with your host.
7. Dating outside of the club is permitted, but not encouraged.
8. Permanent romantic relationships with hosts are forbidden.
9. Do not bicker with other customers – any disturbance of the peace is forbidden.
10. Remember that your hosts must serve other customers, as well. You are not the only people in your hosts’ lives.




Every host has his own styles and skills which create a very unique individual appeal when attracting customers. No two hosts are ever very much alike. Sometimes they click with one another, at other times putting them together is like trying to force the two South poles in a magnet to stick. They repel one another. It does not matter either way – they must tolerate one another for the sake of their work, and in the end it is the competition over the title of First Host which will prove which one of them is better than the other. Unfortunately, that title is one which is very difficult to hold onto. In this roleplay, the rankings will change at the end of every in-game night. Depending on what has happened that night, the rankings will may change a little, or they may changed a lot. Here, we will keep track of the ratings, and of how many named clients each host has.
