Maria Holic

Brief Summary: Girl enrolls in mission school looking for love...amongst the all female intake. She meets with rude crossdressing Maria and realises soon enough that she is a he.

All this while I was wondering why the female (erm, male) protag looked so familiar and after googling a bit have found out the mangaka, Minari Endo is the same as that for Dazzle/Hatenko Yugi. And just like Dazzle, it has also been made into an anime, although hopefully it won't turn out like the former, leaving the storyline hanging halfway with no further seasons (what were they thinking with that one?).

I don't know if this is actually supposed to be a shojo ai/yuri manga, as it's usually labelled "romance". However, so far the overtones have been quite strong. I'm not into that genre so I'm only sticking around to see what the mangaka's doing with the two protags and curious about the reason why the male protag has to cross dress.

However, having gone through some more of it, I'm not sure it's for me. The storyline is getting stranger and stranger and there are elements I just don't get. I will put it aside. I was hoping for something better than Dazzle, which I think I'll abandon too.
