According to Moon Phase, an anime based on MariaHolic– a gender-bending school comedy by Minari Endoh, creator of the manga-turned-anime Hatenkou Yuugi (alias Dazzle) –may see an anime adaptation soon.

Hopefully a better one than Hatenkou’s been getting. I wanted the anime to be good so I could recommend it to others, but alas, that clunky first ep had me foiled. (Second ep is better, but doesn’t explain anything more. I recommend reading the manga if you want to clarify all that jazz– seven volumes out in English to date.)

Anyway, if the rumor about Maria Holic is true, it may hit TVs in Japan in January 2009 and feature the same cast as the manga’s drama CDs.
