The dramatization, however, has been criticized as being overly dramatic at times, but the lack of malicious characters has been described as reducing the chance for more drama.

Plot

edit

Setting and themes

edit

The setting forMaria-sama ga Miteruis Lillian Girls' Academy(Tư lập リリアン nữ học viên,Shiritsu Ririan Jogakuen),a fictionalCatholic school[5]founded in 1901 inMusashino, Tokyo,Japan; the school is depicted as an elegant, clean, pure, and very prestigious institution. Among the facilities of Lillian, aside from the classrooms, there is a church, a greenhouse, akendodojo,an auditorium, a park, and the Rose Mansion, where theYamayuri Councilmeet. The students are very respectable and in good standing. The uniform at the school is a long, blackJapanese school uniformwith a white collar.

The school uses the fictional sœur system where any second- or third-year student, thegrande sœur( "big sister" ), might pick a younger girl who will become her "sœur"(sisterinFrench). Thegrande sœurgives her thepetite sœur( "little sister" ) arosaryand promises to look after her and guide her. The basic etiquette demands thepetite sœurto call hergrande sœur"onee-sama"(older sisterinJapanese). Aside from being used in prayer, the rosary is the instrument that certifies thesœurunion and relationship between two students.[3]There is an implicit code of behavior betweensœurs,especially in the Yamayuri Council—the student council of the school: quietness, measure and respect towards each other; values deeply attached to traditional Japanese education.

Frenchis occasionally used throughout the story; for example, the series is given the French subtitleLa Vierge Marie vous regarde,which means "The Virgin Mary is watching you". In keeping with the tone of the series, formal language is used:[6]gokigen'yō(ごきげんよう)is a strictly formal and respectful greeting in Japanese, and is used both to greet and to bid farewell. By custom, this greeting is used often in the Lillian School; this has been one of the distinguishable and popular phrases of the series, and it is used to begin or to finish each volume. The Animax English-language version translates the word as "good day to you".

The Lillian Girls' Academy uses the lily symbolism as the whitelilyis the flower of the Virgin Mary.[3]The white lily is aChristiansymbol ofvirginityandpurity.This lily imagery is also used as a reference toyuri:[7]the story has some elements of romance between female characters;[3]the use of lilies reinforces this in subtext, as do the names of the student council and of the school itself.[7]The series is only explicit about a romantic relationship once in a flashback, but many of the sisters haveromantic friendships.[3]

The musical choices of theMaria-sama ga Miteruanime adaptations are generally classical music-inspired.[7][8]The Christianhymn"Maria-sama no Kokoro"(マリア dạng の こころ,The Virgin Mary's Heart)is often referred to in the series. In the context of the series, it is a children's song taught to the students at Lillian.[9]

Story and characters

edit
See also:List of Maria-sama ga Miteru characters

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Girls' Academy and is character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain.[3]When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a first-year student at Lillian, is praying in front of theVirgin Marystatue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniformneckerchief.This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch.

After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayuri Council. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become herpetite sœur.This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayuri Council where she assists them in school matters alongside Yoshino Shimazu and Shimako Tōdō—thepetite sœursof Rei Hasekura and Sei Satō, respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayuri Council, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable.

Yamayuri Council

edit

Much of the story ofMaria-sama ga Miterurevolves around the Yamayuri Council(Sơn bách hợp sẽ,Yamayurikai,lit. "Mountain LilyCouncil "),which acts as thestudent council.The Yamayuri Council meet in a building called the Rose Mansion(Tường vi の quán,Bara no Yakata).Located within the school, it consists of two stories, including a meeting room on the second story. The Yamayuri Council itself consists of three offices, named afterroses:Rosa Foetida(ロサ・フェティダ,Rosa Fetida),Rosa Gigantea(ロサ・ギガンティア,Rosa Gigantia),andRosa Chinensis(ロサ・キネンシス,Rosa Kinenshisu).[3][12]These are also referred to by their colors; the Yellow Rose(Hoàng tường vi,Kibara)isRosa Foetida,the White Rose(Bạch tường vi,Shirobara)isRosa Gigantea,and the Red Rose(Hồng tường vi,Benibara)isRosa Chinensis.

Due to the high importance the three Rose families have in the development of the student activities within school, those who becomepetites sœursof any of the mentioned families receive a functional "inheritance" through thegrandes sœursteachings, to adopt a position given certain circumstances. In this way, there are patrons recognized through the generations of the members of the Rose families. Still, after graduating, thegrandes sœursof the Yamayuri Council may continue with a fair participation in the events concerning their families, as shown in the novels.[13]

A Rose(Tường vi,Bara),orRosa(ロサ),is one of three senior members of the Yamayuri Council, although it is also possible to generally speak of all the members of the Yamayuri Council as roses. A Rose makes the important decisions within this group, since she has control over the student council. Candidates for the position, which lasts through the school year, are chosen through an election. Any student can run to become a Rose, although the position is usually given to theen boutons,the Roses'petite sœurs.

Thepetite sœurof aRosais called anen bouton(アン・ブゥトン,an būton),otherwise known as a "rose bud"(Tường vi の つぼみ,bara no tsubomi).En boutonisFrenchfor "in bud" —as used in the exampleRosa Chinensis en bouton—and is unofficially considered part of the Yamayuri Council, as is thepetite sœurof theen bouton,if she has one. Theen boutonsmust be in a lower year than theirRosa,and generally theen boutonsexecute the plans discussed by the Roses, like assistants. Although theRosapositions of the Yamayuri Council are traditionally passed to theen boutonon the graduation of the current holder, they are nonetheless elected offices which anyone may run for.

Thepetite sœurof theen boutonis calleden bouton petite sœur(アン・ブゥトン・プティ・スール,an būton puti sūru)—as used in the exampleRosa Chinensis en bouton petite sœur—and is otherwise known as the "younger sister of a rose bud"(Tường vi の つぼみ の muội,bara no tsubomi no imōto).She must be in a lower year than heren boutonand performs small duties; such as attending to the Roses'en boutons, cleaning the Rose Mansion, and making tea and snacks for the Yamayuri Council. This lasts a school year; and the following year when theiren boutonis elected asRosas,thepetite sœursbecomeen boutonsautomatically.

Production

edit

After writing her debut novel seriesYume no Miya(Mộng の cung,Palace of Dreams)for three years starting in March 1994,[14]Oyuki Konno published a short story called "Maria-sama ga Miteru" in the February 1997 issue of theshōjomagazineCobaltwith illustrations by Yuma Aoi.[15]In 1993, Konno had previously won both Cobalt's Novel Award and Readers' Award forYume no Miya,[16]and by February 1997, nine volumes had been released.[17][18]

In the afterword of the firstMaria-sama ga Miterulight novel volume, Konno admitted thatMaria-sama ga Miteruwas very different from her usual genre of story-telling inYume no Miya,which she described as an "imperial story" set in a fictionalizedclassical Japan.[19]For the basis of Lillian Girls' Academy, Konno drew from her own experiences attending anall-girl high school,and some of the scenery of Lillian was also taken from this, such as aginkgopathway which stretched out from the main gate. The laid-back atmosphere of the school was also incorporated into Lillian, although Konno's school did not have asœursystem and it was not a Catholic school. Konno had been exposed to Christianity from a young age: she attended a completely Christian kindergarten which had asanctuaryandcloisterin the middle of the school. Konno notes that she put her own questions about the Virgin Mary's heart into the story via Yumi. Konno ultimately mixed together various sources and ended up with Lillian Girls' Academy.[19]

Reception

edit

It was reported in April 2010 that 5.4 million copies of the original light novels have been published.[120]Reception to theMaria-sama ga Miteruanime series has been generally positive,[7][8]althoughAnime News Network(ANN) noted that the series leaves itself "wide open to cynical sniggering."[6]Carlos Ross from Them Anime regarded it as "one of the most beautiful and graceful anime" series,[7]adding that the animation is sometimes of questionable quality but overall "very appealing".[7]Andrew Shelton from AMR found the series to be "fairly unique" compared to othershōjoworks, explaining that although the story is "a little basic" and "overly dramatic", what is most important is the "response and actions of the character on who the story is focused."[8]Stig Høgset, also from Them Anime, commented that the third season was criticized for being too short, but he personally did not feel "like it was lacking something."[121]Jason ThompsoncreditsMaria-sama ga Miteruwith starting "the modern yuri trend."[4]Newer anime titles thatMaria-sama ga Miteruis compared to includeOtome wa Boku ni Koishiteru,[122]Strawberry Panic!,[123]Best Student Council,[6]andAria.[124]Carlos Ross, writing about the first novel in the series, felt the story was a "classicrags-to-richestale, "but that it was" also sweet, touching and witty when it needs to be. "He criticized the lack of teachers and schoolwork in the series, which led to the plot being filled with extracurricular activities, which are common to high school series. He also criticized Yumi's low self-esteem.[125]

A characteristic element of the series is the extensive use of French titles, which Carlos Ross has criticized as "distracting".[7]Mania criticized the early anime episodes as being "difficult",[126]and saying that the first episode "throws a lot of terms and names at you".[127]On the other hand, Ross compared the "atmosphere" presented by the series' artwork with those from other anime titles of similar setting, including the bright and vividRevolutionary Girl Utena.[7]Another reviewer from Them Anime also comparedMaria-sama ga MiteruwithOniisama e...,but noted that the former is much less dramatic.[128]Marc Hairston commented on the unusual character designs compared to other series, and said they are "ordinary students."[3]ANN also noted the "clear, expressive eyes and character designs that are gifted with an understated mobility," praising the casting choices, and noting that even "peripheral" characters are "fully realized."[6]Holly Ellingwood of Active Anime described the relationships between the characters as "intensely platonic" and "pseudo-gay" for the most part.[129]

ANN noted that the second anime season tends to overdramatize, especially in the last three episodes. ANN also describes the second season as "more embarrassing andshoujo-aioriented "than the first season, but that the solid characterization is still a strength of the series.[130]Holly Ellingwood of Active Anime appreciated the focus on characters other than Yumi and Sachiko for the second season, regarding Shimako's loss of Sei and befriending Noriko as being "one of the more moving" arcs ofPrintemps.[131]ANN regarded the OVA season as the best of the first three seasons, citing the improved production standards and the less melodramatic storylines.[132]ANN notes that the fourth season is "a return to dramatic form" after the relaxation of the OVA series, but it is not as melodramatic as the second season, due to the increased maturity of the cast.[133]Chris Beveridge, writing for Mania, found it odd that Yumi and Sachiko did not spend so much time together in the fourth season, and felt that the series needed an epilogue, but enjoyed seeing Yumi taking on some "adult responsibilities."[134]

Andrew Shelton has suggested thatMaria-sama ga Miteru's "reduced capacity for epic drama" is due to the lack of malicious characters;[8]he considers the series "pure shōjo", mostly due to its character-driven storyline.[8]Japanese reviewers for their part regard the story as a revival of theClass Sgenre, and specifically a modern-day equivalent ofNobuko Yoshiya'sHana Monogatari.[1]Hairston notes thatMaria-sama ga Miteruemphasizes romance and emotion over sexuality, and it has a respectful treatment of its homoerotic themes.[3]He describes the series as "one of the most interesting and touching anime series of the last two years",[3]adding that it is "about self-discovery and self-acceptance."[3]

APizza Huttie-in campaign for the fourth anime series started on January 7, 2008.[135][136]The Rose Mansion from the story was recreated in theSecond Lifevirtual worldand opened on February 8, 2008.[136]
