EXPLOSION!
Welcome to another episode of “Questioning Ones Sexuality With Maria+Holic.” I feel like I’m falling deeper and deeper into a place of no return. Making fun of Impz for being a trap because he acts like a girl is one thing, but I feel that Mariya is going to take me to a new level. Aside from that, what’s up with the supernatural elements going on here; alaria monsters? Huh?
Damn this show for making me actually look something up, anime is not supposed to be an educational experience. Apparently alaria is some sort of algae. Learn something new everyday I suppose…
She doesn’t speak much, but when she does it’s amazing. I want a maid like her.
Shameless, and wonderful. It may be a bit early to tell, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Mariya is being nice in her own way due to the fact that Kanako is one of the few people who know of his family jewels. No idea what meaning Matsurika’s comment about the rosaries looking alike will end up meaning, it’s some secret future plot obviously!
Ugh…
Ah for the love of God please help me!
Sorry but this doesn’t work for you Kanako. You have too many curves, so to speak. Tall and well endowed girls should not be wearing cat ears, it’s strictly limited to lolis.
Her inner monologues here are hit or miss. I find the occasional one humorous, especially the ones last week when Mariya joined in to mess with her, but the detective ones for this week’s episode were rather lame and unfunny.
Oh I’d definitely hit the megane-chan, daily. The most hilarious part of this scene was the Rocky-like music playing in the background. I was ready to head on over to Philly and run up some stairs.
So is this supernatural stuff like the alaria monster and the weird monster/aliens in Kanako’s bag something that’s in the original manga material or is it just SHAFT hitting the drugs again? Curious minds want to know because it feels kind of out of place.
And the harem grows…quite awesomely I might add. It looks like we’ll get some fun yuri harem action for some time to come before we have to fall back to the hetero story. Keep up that harem growth Kanako, I salute you!
Crusader’s Adoration of Kanako
Alright Kanako, I applaud her for being hot for teacher.
I am sure Kanako will find Kiri-san delicious in so many ways…
Nuts, I wanted a full body shot of hawt and wet Kanako.
So while Calawain is falling for Mariya and getting confused, no matter what he says about my Kanako I still love her even if she’s an overanalyzing Lit Major in the making. Mariya was put off to the sidelines for a bit after he bullied Kanako, so with Kanako left to her own devices it was deliciously yuri. Honestly Kanako is in a different grade altogether so any interaction between her and Mariya would be minimal on a school day. Good to see that at this stage Kanako is adroit enough to ditch Mariya to go out an BE FRIENDLY with the other girls. True to her yuri way kanako was too engrossed about being in an all girls school and failed to read up on how to pray, good thing she gets a lovely teacher. Letting Kanako on the loose was enjoyable for me, and thus did the yuri harem expand to a wonderful degree. Even if poor Kanako has earned the jealous attentions of the Ryuuken-sama fan club at least my yuri-hime is eating well, it’s almost as if for Kanako every day is sea food Friday at the chow hall. Seeing as how Kanako is of a more humble family she is by no means rich. However, the Virgin Mary has blessed Kanako with the budding affections of Sachi-san, so perhaps one day Kanako might marry Sachi-chan and live comfortably for the rest of her life without fear of Mariya’s millions. If nothing else unlike most spineless sacks of shit male and female Kanako is taking her bullying in stride. It’s just like that loveable lesbian to ignore the childish pranks and bask in beauty of the Ryuuken-sama fan club.
…
…
Did i mention how much i adore Kanako?
Unlike comrade Calawain, when it comes to nekomimi I am a humanist I don’t judge I just wish it wasn’t SD so Kanako could show off her nekomimi bloomer costume. Kanako has spunk she kept searching even through the rain and with her yuri strength was kicking down trees. Now I have some environmental sensibilities, but I’ll forgive Kanako because it resulted her getting all hawt and wet. Kiri-san gallantly came to Kanako’s rescue, and timed it perfectly so that Kanako was really hawt and wet, Kiri-san is certainly no fool. I like how she boldly declared that she was dating Kanako, so congratulations Kanako you have your first official girlfriend, I trust that Kiri-san will be the first of many admirers. I applaud Kiri-san for being smart, smoking hawt, and brave. Ryuuken-sama also caught wind of Kanako’s maltreatment and did rush off to see hawt and wet Kanako to declare her intentions to defend the honor of my lovable raging lesbian. Even Mariya was cut off by Ryuuken-sama’s hot bloodedness. As a soldier I like Ryuuken-sama’s attitude and boundless courage. I hope Kanako can be on the prowl with minimal interference from Mariya on school days, on the weekends and holidays Calawain can have his trap service, but we should not forget what is most important here, yuri. The yuri must flow, now if you will excuse me my mind is going all over the place with Kiri-sanxKanakoxRyuuken-sama. Yuri three way GET!
This one is indeed daring.
Kimi ni Mune Kyun.
Thus did Ryuuken-sama steal into Kanako’s room on a night most dark…
…Kanako was then loved TENDERLY.

“I got it bad, got it bad, got it bad…. I’m hot for teacher…”
The last two pics feel like the raep scene from Kannazuki no Miko…
@Tall and well endowed girls should not be wearing cat ears, it’s strictly limited to lolis.
You fool! You foolish fool!
@EX-Keine
And HOW!
@Dorian Cornelius Jasper
Amen to that, comrade.
Ryuuken-sama was wonderful, her declaration. Way to go XD
And it occurred to me that whenever Ryuuken and Kanako are in a conversation, Mariya is around to interrupt it somehow.
Ryuuken-sama seems to have that chivalric aura right from the start. It will be a hard fight between Ryuuken, Kiri and Mariya…
@Tall and well endowed girls should not be wearing cat ears, it’s strictly limited to lolis.
There’s a problem: If nekomimi and buruma is limited to lolis. Then won’t maid and school swimsuit be limited to highschool? The world would be devastated with that kind of set-up. I found the scene quite funny though…
Even I’m not Yuri fan, I’m fallen in love with Ryuuken-sama… Just go and live happily with Mariya and Kiri, Kanako! Leave Ryuuken-sama to me!! whahahahahaha
You know, I really expected Kanako to go either “Furu-furu-furu MOON!” or “Neko-mimi MODO!” when she picked up the cat-ears, but alaas.
I find Crusader’s “adoration” of Kanako pretty funny, as she is basically your standard perverted, not-too-bright harem lead, trapped in a girl’s body. If she was not cute and female, no doubt he would be blasting her for failing to take constructive action to free herself from the clutches of a manipulative transvestite, not to mention her inability to confess her love and general pervertedness.
Alas, I am fairly immune to the appeal of homosexual female relations (I can never get over the feeling that they are a waste of potential, somehow), and cannot give Kanako the free pass others can.
@Haruko
Mariya is trying to sabotage Kanako. but he will find it rather difficult…
@THE ENIGMATIC MOONDOGGIEBUICUIT
Perhaps, but I am hoping for the Yuri-Alliance to defend Kanako from Mariya.
@Blist
Ryuuken-sama can love who ever she so chooses, she chose Kanako, i applaud her decision.
@Henduluin
Maybe next time…
@Ian K
The key word is “if,” but Kanako is a girl, and as such is one of those rare yuri-harem leads. I’ll take what I can get, and besides so far there hasn’t been much blatant fanservice when Mariya is not around. Kanako’s current situation prevents her from doing much, and until she has enough Allies, in a Coalition of the Yuri, discretion is the better part of valor. So long as she is cute, busty, and a raging lesbian she will get a pass.
I hope you will learn to love Kanako, it is a sad thing to discriminate against yuri harem simply because of Kanako’s sexual preferences.
Is my soul condemned to Hell for wanting a foursome with Matsurika, Kanako and Mariya?
“So is this supernatural stuff like the alaria monster and the weird monster/aliens in Kanako’s bag something that’s in the original manga material or is it just SHAFT hitting the drugs again?”
shaft hitting drugs. my reaction was: wtf?! completely unnecessary. just some way to fill up the air time. shaft probably thought it was humorous.
Well, *actually* the thing in the bag ( “Not enough”, teeheehee ) is also in the manga. If you don´t believe me, ggsubs has chapter eight of the manga on their site, translated by them for whatever reason.
BTW, as the manga does not seem to be so far along, I guess Shaft will take over the plotting after about episode eight or nine? I´d expect the weirdness to get really get going by then.
Until then, I support Ryuuken-sama to end up with Kanako-san. Or that cute archer girl. Or both.
“Questioning Ones Sexuality With Maria+Holic.”
So true……
magnuskn: I am talking about the very end of the episode, when the stuff that the dog was burying exploded and became a big green monster. Tell me where that is in manga. -_- That’s what the blogger was asking about, if you actually bothered to read the blog post. And yes, I have read all the chapters that scanlation have released so far.
Dear greenalienmoster, clearly you are suffering from ADD, otherwise you´d have noticed that the sentence said “supernatural stuff like the alaria monster and the weird monster/aliens in Kanako’s bag”. This includes the weird thing in Kanakos’ bag.
Neither did your own post four places above this one indicate that the bag tentacle monster was in the manga, which is why I wanted to clear things up for Calawain.
Now STFU and DIAF, you arrogant retard.
Crusader,
Fear not, I am an equal-opportunity hater who will discriminate against all harem leads, regardless of gender, looks, or sexual orientation
.
Do you know what most of the staff, who are acurrently working on this series, have in common? They previously worked on “Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei” and “Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei”. I don’t know if that contributes, but so far, this show is my “guilty pleasure” of the week.
Cat ears belong to Tsukuyomi~ Moon Phase only and maybe Petite Princess Yucie. Although, Kanako’s yuri harem has strangely turned me on. They are all awesome because when they speak, it’s all blunt, harsh, and quite witty except their dorm manager. She’s just..meh. (I give her credit for pulling off the cat ears thought) I like her “mini-me” dog too.
Bring on the Rocky music, because there will definitely be a bitch fight later.
From what I could glean while typesetting/proofing the Maria+Holic chapters that gg has released, UME (I believe that’s the name of the tentacle monster in the bag) is from the manga. Alaria monster? No idea.
Let’s place nice folks. I do appreciate the input but we can keep it friendly ok? =)
Sorry, Calawain.
I just don´t appreciate getting called out arrogantly for something which I did right.
Anyway, to Eej, exactly right, the bag-monster is from the manga, the alaria thingy is new.
BTW, if gg has translated until the latest manga chapter, then we are looking forward to no more than two more episodes which are manga material and everything afterwards should be done by SHAFT. Some of the manga chapters are rather short affairs… we are up to chapter 5 already by this point.
@magnuskn: Chapter 9 isn’t the latest manga chapter. I’ve got volume 3 (which goes up to chapter 18, I believe) sitting around on my hard drive. There’s plenty of material to go around.
Ah, allright.
I had checked with the http://www.animenewsnetwork.com, but they only said that the manga had “four volumes”, so I wasn´t really sure what that meant in terms in chapter advancement.
So I guess the series is well covered for all thirteen episodes.
@Ian K
Well I suppose your Maria+holic fan art folder will be decidedly particular…
@soyahoney
It sounded more like The Final Countdown to me…
@Eej
Thanks for the info, and thanks for bringing us a subs and scans every week.
@Calawain
Here here!
The ending was done well =] but I still don’t understand the omakes.
Mmm, SHAFT crazyness. I think I’ll stand off to the side and admit that I was amused by Kanako’s rantings. Yeah.
@D=
Does any one understand them?
@Myssa Rei
Mein Kamrad do you also see how wonderful Kanako-hime is? The girl is crazy, crazy for other girls…
@Crusader
I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WOULD BE UP TO THE CHALLENGE.

[...] this episode was entertaining and veered me into adoring Kanako. I mean, she made a lot of innocent faces that is, generally, cute. Sure I like Mariya as well (but [...]
