I was so shocked!! It's Matsurika ver. of OP!! And that OP is included in Vol.3 (a.k.a Matsurika Holic)!!


lol~ Father is sensing that Suzu is girl. Is the butler for Suzu voiced by Okamoto-san?

Well, I prefer Matsurika's version of the OP, actually. Because Inoue Marina <3
Oh these card battles. Seems like a pretty funneh game, I want to try it out.
Also, must feel good, that girl managed to win against Yonakuni-san, what a feat.
And while it isn't really strange for Father Kanae to be completely fooled, it's still fun how he started believing Kanako died.
Great seeing Shizu again though.
And

Yep, it is.
There's 岡本信彦 in the credits for 汐王寺竜胆 (No idea about the family name, but the given names Rindou, at least.)
So yeah, Okamoto voices Rindou, Shizu's butler.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

Judging by the OP, the arc with Kanako's lil sis is coming_) Been waiting for it)

Oh yeah, and seeing how Mariya would look being a boy is always great! (yeah, it's Shizu I know, but it gives a very accurate idea)))

Rindou's last name is Shinouji, the same family name from Matsurika. I suppose they're also siblings just like Mariya and Shizu. :D

Oh btw, I was quite impressed with Hirano Aya's "shounen" voice acting with Shizu. I had to double check the ED credit just to make sure if it is the same old Hirano Aya I've been hearing. :P

Matsurika's version of OP was a nice surprise, I didn't expect it. I liked the episode, too.

Maria†Holic is neat, but this episode made me want to see a spin-off series of the all-boys school, featuring Shizu etc. :D

Matsurika version OP. Love it, much better than the other version. Do want a picture of Matsurika lying down and in swimsuit in the OP
Eh, I still prefer MTG. But it was fun to see Yonakuni-san lose.
So that's where the desk and the hairstyle last episode came from.
Father is win as always. Those quotes though flash really quickly
Nice to see Shizu with a butler. Not as fun as the other pair but it's ok.
And looking forward to more Matsurika†Holic.

I definitely want to see more Matsurika Holic she needs more screen time!!
This was the first time seeing Shizu's servant and he seems to be a weirdo as well and he doesn't come near the awesomeness of Matsurika.
I liked the Vietcong booby traps part tho.

RETURN OF FATHER KANAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

anyway.... my only complaint about this ep is that Maria didn't sing the op song. I really like Maria's voice! <3
Father KanaexShizu? Is Kanae bi or something? Or does he just fall in love with anything that's beautiful? O.o
Best episode by far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

unlike many, matsurika version of OP was kinda dull, i prefer maria. Besides, this episode was also as dull as its OP but the last two were way funnier. 2/5

Aya's male voice really had me flabbergasted. I caught some of her verbal tics, but if I didn't know it was her already I wouldn't have been able to tell at all.

I loved the op. Too bad God's plans for the card game were shafted, but leave it to God to get her dog to start playing a children's high school card game. Toichirou Holic was equally amusing.

This episode was a bit better, if laden with flashbacks. I think it's the lack of Kanako :P

Favourite part was Kanae's meltdown when he realised he was attracted to Mariya's sister. XD

It’s official: I like Matsurika†Holic way more. Just the OP was epic enough for an episode. Inoue Marina ftw.

Ah, Shizu. You’re beyond adorable.
… I must have something for reverse traps, seriously.

Father Kanae, his flash-speed train of thought monologues and his mix-up at things is priceless.

It’s obvious the lack of Kanako means good for the show, as I believe this is the first episode I truly enjoyed.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Maria Holic without Kanako is much better for me. Toichirou Holic is funny, probably the best episode in the show imo.

Just like the previous comments, the Matsurika OP was golden. Shizu's butler, Rindo, was a nice surprise. And you gotta love Kanae. Tomokazu Sugita Engrish with him was hilarious XD

Episode that leaves me strangely excited, the narrative itself in a verve that I did not remember to have seen the last time.
Drawings a bit ugly as quality, but it is the TV version.
Nice new opening.

"Matsurika Holic" better said "Toichirou Holic" And he doesn't even have enough of Matsurika's Diary, now he wants the whole series. 🤣🤣
Poor Kanako loses her whole series because she leaves home a lot. 🤣🤣 (~  ̄ ▽  ̄) ~
