Synopsis
Kanako Miyamae transfers to Ame no Kisaki Catholic school hoping to find true love, following the example of her parents who met there. However, because Kanako breaks out in hives around men, she enrolls in this all-girls institution specifically to pursue a same-sex partner. When she encounters the stunning Mariya Shidou, Kanako thinks she has found her ideal match—but there is a catch. Mariya is actually a cross-dressing boy. He threatens to reveal Kanako's impure motives unless she keeps his true gender hidden, and to make matters worse, he takes the place of her original roommate so he can keep a constant watch over her. Maria†Holic follows Kanako as she searches for love in all the wrong places, trying to find the girl of her dreams—if she can manage to survive sharing a room with Mariya.
