Maria Holic is a story about Miyamae Kanako who is afraid of boys. Now this instantly brings memories of Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun, which is not that good of a thing to do. The difference here is that she enrolls at an all girls school in order to find a lesbian partner. Wow. Turns out that the “perfect” one, Shidou Mariya, is actually a cross dressing guy. What? This just screams red flags as far as I’m concerned. I could handle the cross dressing in Ouran Host Club, but this just seems weird. If there is one thing that I’ve always seemed to avoid more than long running shounen shows it’s ones about cross dressing and/or boyxboy romance. The show is being produced by two pretty well known studios; SHAFT and GENCO. Voice talent includes Kobayashi Yuu and Inoue Marina, who have both done some good work in great shows. Maria†Holic is scheduled to air on January 5th with 13 episodes.
