Maria+Holic, Episode 10- Civics for Perverts

After some childish antics, we finally get to this week’s release. There was much rejoicing. Did you know that “defenestrate” means to throw something or someone out of a window? I didn’t until I watched this episode.

I remember as an undergrad back at UCSD, there was nothing better than the first day of the Spring Quarter (near the end of March). That day, all the fine ladies put away their “winter” (if one can call it that in SoCal) clothes and out popped all sorts of wonderful items. Ah, good times.

A common mistake…

Frankly…that’s a bit scary. Matsurika giggling like a school girl? And what the hell, she’s actually in school? Perhaps a maid uniform is some sort of alternate school uniform that I wasn’t aware of…it must be thoroughly investigated.

For the most part, perverted characters in anime are relegated to side character status, who merely provide comic relief. When they are male they get beaten up or ignored to some degree, and the female perverts are rarer and even more marginalized. It is rather refreshing and frankly, awesome, to have a female pervert as a main character. Add that to the fact that said character constantly indulges in her fantasies for maximum hilarity. I love this show.

Why don’t you try what worked for Kanako before, pretending that you have a girlfriend? Mmmmm, perhaps it would be too repetitive. But I’d enjoy it…

This show has awakened my megane-moe sense

I wouldn’t really categorize the guy as careless, more that there was lack of clarity of instruction from the higher ups. However, anytime there’s a history lesson in anime I will applaud it.

Those that lust after high school girls unite!

Crusader’s Adoration of Kanako

So it seems that the angel cosplay party went off fairly well and president Kanako is delighted that summer uniforms are now out in force. Sadly since Mariya sabotaged her studies Kanako did not pass her exams but passed chemistry and civics with flying colors. Unlike those hated over achievers like Mariya who keep throwing off the curve Kanako is my kind of student that drags the curve mercilessly. If nothing else Kanako has all of her smarts where it counts in civics as she will one day found the Yuri Republic and create a chemical cocktail to combat any male invasion of her republic. Besides failing physics is not so bad, after all if it smells it is chemistry, if it moves it is biology, and if it doesn’t work it is physics… Kanako is clearly creating an Agent Orange for men and crafting the perfect perfume to make millions. Still Kanako is making inroads as she drew a giggle from Matsurika who is cracking under Kanako’s charm. Sachi-san is already a believer and tries to help her hauptmann though Yuzuru is resisting with increasing futility over who will be leader of their harem. Nevertheless in the end despite Mariya’s attempts at sabotage Kanako passes her make up exams. Kiri-san also passed and it seems that Kiri at least has something in common with her President. Sachi is Kanako’s shield and she does try her best to help Kanako, while Yuzuru is falling increasingly towards jealousy as Kanako has achieved in mere months what she was unable to do in years.

I…

completely…

…agree.

Kiri is later accosted by some male brute who tries to bring about her downfall, but through the efforts of Kanako and her harem they successfully defend Kiri-san from the male assault with the aid of Honoka It seems that Honoka is tsundere after all and while she will never openly admit it wants to join Kanako’s harem too but is still too tsun tsun to admit or stay for very long. In the end Sachi ambushes Kiri-san’s would be admirer and takes from him a couple war trophies which she brings as a gift to President Kanako. So far it seems that President Kanako has been preparing to create her Yuri Republic by excelling in Civics and trying to create a chemical weapons stockpile for massive retaliation against any future transgression from belligerent men. Sachi is amply demonstrating her loyalty to Kanako as Kanako’s charm offensive slowly reduces the paltry resistance of Matsurika and Kiri-san. Clearly Matusirka is taking far too much of an interest in Kanako for it to be merely casual, I believe to be nothing more than a bid for attention. Yuzuru is trying to hold out but her cause is already lost as Sachi is an ardent supporter of the Kanako cause. Honoka finally returned to aid Kanako in the defense of Kiri-san’s honor and remind them of the evils of nasty Japanese men who lust after school girls.

So Kiri-san also has Yuri-side powers like Kanako…at least two there are…

I recommend Sachi as head of the YSA.

For she will be the loli-angel that guards the Yuri Republic.

I so want a gif of this scene. Kanako is indeed tall.

Kanako if you make Sachi your first waifu she can manage your portfolio almost as well as Warren Buffett.

Kanako has schemes of her own… Kanako were unchallenged this school would refer to her as their mistress…

Kanako has achieved the impossible, she made Matsurika giggle. Surely she is the Chosen One, the Mahdi!

I approve of this stimulus package!

Praise be to our comrades who lower the curve!

Kanako lying is a skill like any other you must practice it…

Kanako has not forgotten about her running mate, oh no…

Embarrassed Kiri is love. :3

They all agree…

I like this summer uniform.

I applaud Honoka for knowing that the Berlin Wall even existed.

She’d make a fine history teacher…

Kanako will protect you!

Trinket aus und schenket ein
Und laßt uns alte Kameraden sein. (Drink up and give And let us old comrades be. – I think)

How thoughtful of you to kill him, and you brought back trophies…

I like Kumatan-sensei’s summer fashion sense.
