Maria Holic. Volume 1
Endo, Minari
Adult Fiction ENDO
From Library Journal:
Kanako Miyamae has a fear of men and will break out in hives at the slightest physical contact with one. Hoping to find true love, she transfers to an all-girls school, only to draw the attention of the beautiful, manipulative Mariya Shidou (really, a boy in disguise). Kanako's attempts at befriending her classmates and her harassment by Mariya are played for laughs. Maria Holic is light and funny, atypical to other shojo manga where cross-dressing high schoolers (such as in Ouran High School Host Club) learn about human nature by experiencing the world as the other sex. Verdict Intended for boys 16 years and older, this comedy delivers wacky schoolgirl hijinks with light doses of profanity and fan service. Endou's (Dazzle) skillfully drawn harem of cute girls and the alluring yet sinister Mariya make this an amusing read. Will appeal to Rosario + Vampire fans.-June Shimonishi, Torrance P.L., CA (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
