Koihime Enbu - Simple Character Notes

Just search for the character/assist you want. I would like to add links but the site has been fussy and I can't figure it out.

Notes: Things labeled as invincible means, almost universally, on startup only. It is intended to be used as a reversal option. Also, despite how some of them look, all 6Bs are invincible to lows and are labeled as such. Anything in brackets [5C] means it needs to be held.

As always, if anything needs to be added/removed/corrected, please let me know and I shall amend it.

Updated: December 8, 2016-Revised a lot of text. Added and removed things where necessary. Added Assist section. Cleaned up the formatting a bit.

Maria Holic - Manga Review - Volumes: 1-6

Publisher: Tokyopop
Purchased: Rightstuf

Maria Holic is a story about a girl who dislikes boys so much she was willing to transfer to an all girls school to get away from them. Our "heroine", Kanako Miyamae, not only dislikes boys(they literally give her hives on contact), she loves girls! Upon reaching her so-called paradise, she encounters a snarky maid followed by her retainer Mariya Shidou. Mariya welcomes Kanako to the school and through skillful conversation uncovers Kanako's dirty secret. Before parting ways, Mariya manages a sneaky kiss on Kanako. Oddly, Kanako notices some hives. What in the....?

Having set up a meeting later, to tour the school with Mariya, Kanako sets out in search for her. After running across Mariya and her maid in the closet she notices that Mariya is not all she seemed to be. In fact, Mariya is not even a girl. Mariya is a guy! A cross-dressing guy! He's also mean and cruel!

Having accidentally revealed Mariya's secret, Kanako finds herself suddenly roommates with Mariya. It looks like things are going to get interesting.

A quick preface: I picked this bundle up on sale a while ago. Almost a year? I did not read it right away since I had other literary obligations(The Lord of the Rings trilogy). This group of books has also been out for a very long time, though; since 2011 in fact.
