  • Maria-sama Ga Miteru ("Maria Watches Over Us" [i.e. the Virgin Mary] or "Marimite") is set in a Catholic all-girls' High School. The school has a "soeur system", in which an older student adopts a younger student by giving the younger student her rosary, frequently having elements of a Romantic Two-Girl Friendship. The student body is led by an self-perpetuating oligarchy (it's supposedly democratic in theory, but due to 100% incumbency as shown by the failed Rosa Kanina candidacy...) called the Yamayurikai of three groups of soeurs. The oldest students are three leaders elected in a rubber stamp election by the student body at large. Their petites soeurs, in their second year are upgraded to Boutons (rosebuds), and so on. This leads to lots of Gratuitous French such as "Rosa Chinensis en Bouton Petite Soeur". Yumi Fukuzawa is a first-year student who idolizes Sachiko Ogasawara, the Rosa Chinensis en Bouton. One autumn day, Sachiko stops Yumi as the two pray to the statue of the Virgin Mary, to correct Yumi for having an improperly tied scarf. Later that day, Sachiko abruptly asks Yumi to be her petite soeur, despite having only just met her. The rest of the Yamayurikai objects... and Yumi, feeling unworthy, turns Sachiko down. Sachiko vows to win Yumi as her soeur by hook or crook... Maria-sama Ga Miteru started out as a popular series of Light Novels by Oyuki Konno, illustrated by Reine Hibiki. It got adapted into a Twelve-Episode Anime, with a second "Spring" season and third season released as an OVA. After a prolonged wait a fourth season aired in Japan. The show has been licensed in its entirety for North American distribution by Nozomi Entertainment/Right Stuf... with subs only. There is a dub version, but it's only available on Animax Asia.
