Maria†Holic
まりあ†ほりっく
You go to a new High School in hopes of finding your "destined one".
On the very first day you meet a beautiful underclassman,
she's quite refined, polite even somewhat cute and rather intelligent.
Something seems . . . amiss.
Well the "you" in question, looking for your "destined one" is Kanako Miyamae.
Horribly awkward around men, she breaks out in hives whenever she's touched by a man.
The new High School is the Ame No Kisaki, an all-girls school.
The first girl that she is seemingly captivated by is Mariya Shido . . .
Mariya is not quite the woman that Kanako thinks she is . . . .
. . . . not at all . . . .

The fans at ANN seem to think this show rates a "good" 7.3.
Having seen the show from the start to the end, personally,
I think it's worth much more than that, a solid 9.
It's dammed funny, and it has a great deal of re-watch-ablity.
I think this show has much more appeal than similar trap/yuri themed anime.
It doesn't seem quite so naive and the characters seem sophisticated enough to be in high school.
It reminds me of some the best episodes of, for example, Ranma 1/2 or OtoBoku.
