Maria+Holic – 06 – Mariya has a sister complex

The good ol’e Matsurika insults

Kanako’s special attack: Nasal Hemorrhage
Sometimes I wonder if Kanako has a nasal deficiency. She’s like, an assistant nurse in this episode who only wants to stare at girls. Hell, I would as well but I’m a guy. But maybe it’s like what Baka-Raptor said, girls are really lesbians who also like guys. I understand, though, that the Japanese method of showing “LOL OMFG THAT IS HOT; I HAS BONER” is by showing nosebleeds, but that seems a bit too excessive and really, becomes repetitive when they do it as much as it did now. It’s just not that funny. Also, Kanako thought Mariya had interest in her. If you ask me, he really was just monitoring her every movement and action so that if she does anything funny, she’ll be able to find her + plug her hole. But… don’t you think that will be kind of disgusting? Since Kanako gets hives every time a guy touches her, her WHOLE BODY will be full of hives and well… would you really HIT THAT? I sure as hell wouldn’t.
Besides the fact that she (Kanako) wanted to lecherously look at all the girls bewbs and vag, she probably really wanted to help out. I do give Kanako credit for trying to protect Mariya though. She rushed straight to Mariya when she heard his name. To her (unfortunate) surprise, Mariya had tits and so she had another nose bleed. Well, besides that she seems to be getting comfortable with Mariya. One reason I say this is because she’s feeling “power” over him. In the past, she would easily get walked over by him. Now, she thinks she has power. Pretty much it’s telling me that she is starting to like Mariya more and hence wants to protect him more. Like when she heard his name called out in the infirmary.

Matsurika’s from a prestigious family. No wonder!
Kanako’s reactions were priceless. Even though she saw the real tits, she still thought Shizu was a male. I don’t blame her. She probably thinks that those tits were fake ones anyway, as Mariya’s a “master of crossdressing”. But something else was revealed here: Matsurika wouldn’t normally help Mariya in normal circumstances. As a result, I believe that Mariya’s actually blackmailing her in a really evil way. And that they knew each other since their childhood years. Nazarielle thinks that Kanako MIGHT JUST be a childhood friend of Kanako. And I think it’s really feasible. It would pace a few things together. For instance, we can predict that Kanako thought Shizu was a girl but somehow went to a bath and saw Mariya bathing. Seeing as children are innocent, she was scarred. *shrugs* Though, I will also argue that Kanako’s friends said Kanako’s name to Shizu so she tried to cut it short, thinking that she was one of Mariya’s friends. Also, Kiri noticed Mariya heading to the infirmary when Shizu was already in it. I sense some trouble will happen soon, with Kiri that is; it seems to foreshadow that Kiri will be the one who reveals Mariya’s identity to the school.
Shizu’s interesting. What interests me more is that… why is Mariya’s name “Mariya”? I mean, that doesn’t sound like a male name. She’s really innocent and sensitive as well. As well as slow like Kanako. It takes Mariya Schniezel effort to fix problems while it doesn’t for Shizu. But I understand why Shizu doesn’t, in a way. What teenage girl would really want to go see a bunch of guy’s bodies and probably their wang hanging out as well. Disgusting. I wouldn’t even want to see that.
One thing I’m not really comfortable with is that.. a hot girl who is dressed up as a cute guy is going to an all boys school. If she is found out… doesn’t that mean she’ll be hunted down and raped? It’s really messed up to think of those messed up situations, but I do that. I, for one, really wouldn’t want that to happen. Hell, I don’t even want to picture it. What I would picture is either Shizu x Mariya OR Shizu x A GIRL. Mainly because this show focuses on yuri and not… straight-ness? Well, not yet anyways. Anyways, I wonder what Mariya would do if he saw his sister turn into a… floozy, if I may say. I really don’t like seeing a girl go corrupt and stuff, so yea. In fact, I don’t like rape genres either. It’s only good when both sides are intimate and agrees. Else I’ll feel disgusted.

I bet he stuck it in HER hole as well.
It’s really funny at how Mariya used semantics to defend himself. But it sure did make a lot of sense. It’s funny though, Shizu should have never said anything and just used what she knew against Mariya… and left after finding that bit of information or just tend to Kanako. I don’t blame her though. I would have done the same thing, probably. I actually thought, when Mariya was showing that he’s still “in the game”, that he was going to blackmail his own sister and well, rape her. I have a sick mind, yes. I’m not trying to be hypocritical — hawt twins who both look like females = yuri to me. And yuri is all right with me.
I’m not as analytical as lolikitsune or L from Death Note. Wish I was, though. Anyways, Mariya shows no mercy to anyone… or really places on a facade of showing no mercy. It makes me think if his true self is really lonely and is crying for help. You know, using arrogance and sadism to cover it compensate for his lonely self. I’m saying this mainly because this show doesn’t really focus on Mariya too much; as a result, I really doubt Mariya has any real friends… besides Kanako.

She’s receding from being a yuri? NO WAI!
Well, Kanako’s seeing some good side(s) of Mariya. She also thought in her mind that she didn’t get a nosebleed from seeing a sincere smile from Mariya either. In a way, that tells me that Mariya’s starting to open up to people… or to Kanako to be exact. Mariya might have a sister complex, though. As he never gave that “sincere” smile to anyone else. Probably because she’s the only one he could really talk to, I guess. He really does seem to care for his sister. He didn’t force her to kiss his feet and he actually agreed to go to the boys school to help her out – for nothing. That really shows how much he cares about her.
Regardless, Kanako stole a girl’s panties. She needs to be evicted from Ame no Kisaki to Mihoshi no Mori (The all boys school).
By the way, if anyone’s interested here are the OP and ED music:

You are overestimating Kanako IMHO. I don’t think that she rushed to help Mariya in the infirmary. She just wanted to see how he would have escaped the physical examination.
@Son Gohan: I don’t think so. She seemed really… caring to him if you ask me. Kind of frightened about why he was there. But what you said is indeed plausible. She is developing an ego against him in this episode, I mean. So that is definitely possible.
Aizen, I think it’s great you have your own blog, and to be honest, it’s quite good.
But I don’t like how your advertising it on Random Curiosity.
Don’t be a fag plz.
I love how the plot twist was totally out of the blue.
