Ouran High School is a privileged educational institution where children of the richest and noblest families in Japan (children of politicians and big business tycoons) go to school. At the school, some of the best teachers in the country design the curriculum in such a way as not to overload the pampered wealthy students. Thanks to such care, they have a huge amount of free time that they spend on their hobbies.

One of the adornments of the Ouran School is the so-called "Host Club", where rich and handsome young men use their natural abilities to entertain equally rich and beautiful girls with a certain benefit for themselves.

By chance, Haruhi Fujioka, who had enrolled in this school thanks to his academic achievements, enters the abandoned music classroom in which this club is based. After accidentally knocking a luxurious 8-million yen vase off a stand, Haruhi Fujioka found himself in virtual slavery by the wealthy members of the Host Club. From now on, he must go to the store, work as a servant, carry out small errands, and do other dirty work in the club until graduation, thereby fulfilling his duties to the club.

However, later on, the "King" running the club, Tamaki Suo, and his friends decide to make Haruhi a new member of the club. Tamaki stated that he would forgive Fujioka's entire debt if he was chosen by a hundred clients. Although the idea did not generate much enthusiasm for Haruhi, he had no choice but to agree to the proposal.

Genma Saotome, Ranma's father, falls into the spring where a giant panda drowned, while Ranma falls into the spring where a girl was drowned. Ranma also suffers from a debilitating cat phobia that makes him able to become, even if only mentally, a cat himself in behavior and movements (but not in appearance).

In Nerima, Japan, Soun Tendo (Genma's longtime friend) informs his three daughters Kasumi (19), Nabiki (17), and Akane (16), that one of them is to marry Ranma (whom they have never met) to secure the future of the Tendo dojo. When a panda and a girl arrive in the Tendo house with a great crash, Soun believes Ranma is actually a woman and passes out. Ranma's secret is later discovered by Akane; Ranma, regaining the appearance of a boy thanks to a hot bath, comes out of the tub just as Akane enters.

After Genma's explanations of the curses, the two older sisters nominate Akane for the engagement. But Akane is furious about what happened and she and Ranma start arguing, until, at the boy's insults, she throws the table over his head. Ranma is now officially engaged to Akane, but the troubles for the two have only just begun.

At school, Kuno Tatewaki, madly in love with Akane, wants to defeat him in order to break the engagement. The unfortunate Kuno will also fall in love with the female version of Ranma; Kodachi Kuno, Tatewaki's sister, also falls in love with Ranma (albeit as a boy). In addition to her, several other alleged girlfriends will come forward in the story.

He has only one goal in mind – to take revenge on Ranma for dropping him into the cursed springs, which forces him to transform into a black pig. After seeing Akane, he falls madly in love with her, and as a pig, he will also become her pet, P-Chan.

Kanako has the objective of finding a girlfriend at school, motivated by the love story between her parents; her mother was a student of the said institution while her father was a teacher.

At school, she meets Mariya, a young woman who at first seems beautiful, with a kind and fresh character; someone perfect. Kanako quickly falls in love with her partner, but soon discovers her terrible secret: Mariya is actually a transvestite boy, who thanks to her androgynous face and special wardrobe, manages to infiltrate the boarding school and convince everyone that she is a woman. Mariya acts in this way motivated by a clause of the will of her grandmother, the former director of the institute, and incidentally, to form her harem.

With her secret discovered, Mariya forces Kanako to keep it hidden at all costs. As the story progresses, comic and embarrassing situations develop in which Mariya tests Kanako so that she keeps the secret of her cross-dressing. On the other hand, Kanako meets the other girls at the institute, each with her own story, and as the series progresses, the development of the relationship between Kanako and Maria will be observed.

Maria†Holic is a series with a shōjo-ai character that involves topics such as lesbianism, androphobia, and transvestism. In addition, it has many characteristics of the yuri genre, taking into account the love inclination and the character of its protagonist.

The series, like others of its kind, has taken on many elements related to Catholicism. The Ame no Kisaki and Mihoshi no Mori academies are an example, as both are schools for nuns where Christian habits are taught to students, such as obeying the ten commandments, praying before eating, learning to live with others, etc.

But it is not mandatory to be a Christian in order to enter the school, in fact, the president of the student club Shiki Ayari explains to Kanako that many girls in the school do not even profess Christianity. Kanako herself, in a deliberate act, confesses to being agnostic, to which the president replies that she too, in a certain way, is. The vice president even opined that the way the Church operates and faith itself are very different things.

Simoun's story begins on the planet Daikūriku, orbiting a binary star, whose technology would be similar to that of our industrial revolution (nineteenth century); however, some more advanced technologies are lost, as is the story of the creation of this world.

Three countries, the Holy Land of Simulacrum, the Argentum Archipelago, and the High Lands of Plumbum, are at war for various reasons (political, climatic, economic, and religious), some of which are vital for the health of some of them.

What is more, on this planet, all human beings are born female, but each country addresses the problem of reproduction in its own way by changing the gender of certain citizens, or by a religious ritual at the Source during the transition to adulthood (at 17) to definitively decide on making love (this is the case of the Holy Land), or by medical means from birth (this is the case of the Archipelago).

At the beginning of history, the Holy Land has the advantage over all other nations thanks to an unknown technology (even though they don't know its true nature), but which it nevertheless possesses. It is the Simoun, an airship powered by a helical engine that is able to fly with unparalleled ease, and also well above the clouds, unlike the machines of other countries which risk being struck by lightning at any time.

But the Simoun is also a deadly weapon, capable of eliminating an entire enemy fleet by drawing patterns in the sky called Emerald Ri Mājon, whose destructive capacity is impressive. However, flying on a Simoun is not for everyone. Only girls who have not yet decided on their final gender have the honor: they are the priestesses of the Simulacrum called "Simoun Sibyllae".

Their role, before the start of hostilities, was confined to drawing Emerald Ri Mājon in order to pray and honor Tempus Spatium, or to search for the former Emerald Ri Mājon lost within a group of twelve Simoun Sibyllae composing a "Chor", the "Chor Tempest" being the most famous. But the conflict between the three countries has made priestesses warriors forced to fight on the battlefield for the salvation of the Holy Land.

The two girls can catch up with their role models and now meet Mohiro and his partner Hyōe more often, even by chance in their free time. In addition, Hyōe has an aversion to Saki and lets her feel it again and again. In addition, "Magical Twin" meets the idol duo of Michiru Ogawa and Ruka Kiryu, who have been successful for a long time. The success of the two Magical "Girls" puts them in trouble, but Michiru is also secretly in love with Ore.

Eventually, they too go from being a fairy to being magical girls – with the same transformation as the other two – but because Michiru lacks the experience of real love, she quickly runs out of magic. After constant attacks by demons, which repeatedly turn against Mohiro, the Saki and Sakuyo search for the cause. They suspect Hyoe, who is always around and disapproving of them. But when they finally confront him, it turns out that Hyōe himself is the prince of the fairies.

He's near Mahiro to protect him, even if he doesn't always succeed. Konami then turns out Yamo to be the real culprit. He has now successfully kidnapped Mohiro, threatens humanity with his army of demons, and challenges the Magical Girls to fight. They assume us to follow him into his hiding place, which ultimately only Saki can penetrate.

There the manager reveals to her that he had himself sent to earth because he is actually a fan of Magical Girls. But he only met Magical Girls who had grown old and disappointed him so that he became a manager. With Sakis and Sakuyo's transformation, his dream finally came true. And in order to give them eternal fame, he staged more and more attacks up to this one, in order to be defeated by her in front of the public.

Saki refuses because she doesn't want to become a heroine through staging. Finally, Konami Yamo is captured by the fairies, and Saki and Sakuyo live their lives again as a simple and unsuccessful idol duo who only sporadically slip into the role of a magical girl.
