Synopsis

The story centers on a sophomore named Kanako who is allergic to men to the point of breaking out in hives any time she comes in contact with one.
She enrolls in the same all girls school where her own parents met, Ame no Kisaki, because she wants to find her destined yuri (lesbian) partner. She meets a captivating freshman named Mariya who fits her criteria — except her seemingly ideal mate happens to be a cross-dressing sadistic boy.

"I-I don't even understand the letter C in Catholic!" - Miyamae Kanako

If I was asked to describe Maria + Holic in one word, I believe “wordy” will suit this show perfectly. The amount of monologues in the show is tremendous! Plus the “rail gunning” of words shooting back and forth between the characters simply makes the anime difficult to follow without pauses in between (assuming you need to read the subtitles). And the occasional weird reference to various things also contributes to the complexity of the show for an average viewer. These issues may turn read more

Transvestites are funny. So are bullies. Apparently.

Maria†Holic is a black comedy series that supposedly parodies the traditions of yuri anime and manga. On a surface level, it manages to accomplish this, but when examining the anime, there is very little it has to do with the actual genre. What this anime turns out to be is a puerile and offensive lesson in sadism.

The story follows Kanako who enrols in a Catholic girls' school at the behest of her "mother in heaven". Why does she apply? Why, to find her perfect match of course! What's the catch then? Kanako is a girl who likes--nay, loves--girls. read more
