About MARIA WATCHES OVER US (Maria-sama ga Miteru) - Season 1

When Yumi Fukuzawa entered the Lillian Girls' Academy, a prestigious all-girls Catholic school in Tokyo, she never imagined she would catch the eye of beautiful and demure Sachiko Ogasawara, one of the school's most popular students. Now Sachiko has offered to be Yumi's soeur -- her "sister" and guide for all her years at the academy. The whole idea has Yumi completely flustered: After all, they hardly know each other! The entire campus is abuzz with rumors about the two of them, but Yumi is conflicted over accepting Sachiko's offer. While she admires Sachiko, being her soeur would also mean constantly being at the center of the entire school's attention! Contains the complete 13-episode first season, plus the Season 1 "specials."

i have it on preorder, and it's just in time for my birthday which works poifectly, imo

thanx for also licensing the "shorts". sometimes, it's the lil things that count.

Awesome! (And I like your avatar: Yotsuba&!, right? I need to make my way down to the avatar thread... )

yep. i have a couple three yotsuba&! avatars. the manga is sooo cute!!! it'd be sweet if the same creative staff behind AzuDaioh in Japan worked on a Yotsuba&! anime

i have hundreds of avatars so i change them on a regular basis.
