Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria (空ろの箱と零のマリア, The Empty Box and The Zeroth Maria) is a light novel series written by [[:Category:Mikage Eiji|Eiji Mikage]] and illustrated by Tetsuo (formerly known as 415). While Utsuro no Hako, often abbreviated as ''Hakomari,'' is Eiji's fourth publication, it is the first to feature illustrations. One of his earlier works can be found here: the [[Kamisu Reina Series]].

  +
==Story Synopsis==
  +
<!--Kazuki Hoshino is accused of using a wish-granting 'box' to create an endless recurrence of time, the ''Rejecting Classroom''. His antagonist, Aya Otonashi, is determined to end the loop and seize his 'box', no matter what.-->
  +
<!-- ''Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria'', or ''The Empty Box and the Zeroth Maria'', follows their struggle against each other and the shadowy figure pulling their strings from behind the scenes.-->
  +
''Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria,'' or ''The Empty Box and The Zeroth Maria,'' tells the story of Kazuki Hoshino, who is almost madly attached to his everyday life, and his antagonist Aya Otonashi, who suddenly transfers into his class at the end of the school year—for no less than the 13,118<sup>th</sup> time. Without hesitation, she announces her intent to “break” him. Kazuki's struggle to defend his everyday life begins, and the many secrets it is built on start to come to light.

An antisocial beauty <!--EEE: "unsociable" isn't ideal - "antisocial" is one option (pros: commonly used, captures most of the intended meaning, flows well; cons: Maria's behavior isn't precisely antisocial, several _connotations_ of "antisocial" are completely inappropriate). "poorly socialized" excludes some of the wrong connotations for "antisocial", but also has some cons (less common usage, flows worse; new problems w/certain connotations of the word). "asocial" probably is most accurate, though prob not best wrt flow either (of the items under consideration, anyway). It's a real word http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asociality but it's definitely less commonly used and more technical in nature. Also, feel free to choose some of the more liberal possibilities: "standoffish, reserved, remote"...-grrarr--><!--EEE: tl;dr: rephrase to something like "a remote/antisocial/poorly socialized beauty with a resolute personality" ..? -grrarr--> with a resolute personality. She transfers into Kazuki’s class on March 2<sup>nd</sup> — right before the end of the school year. Immediately upon her arrival, she announces her intent to “break” Kazuki.

(Note: Translation progress varies for each version.)

Volume 6 Cover

Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria (空ろの箱と零のマリア, The Empty Box and The Zeroth Maria) is a light novel series written by Eiji Mikage and illustrated by Tetsuo (formerly known as 415). While Utsuro no Hako, often abbreviated as Hakomari, is Eiji's fourth publication, it is the first to feature illustrations. One of his earlier works can be found here: the Kamisu Reina Series.

Story Synopsis

Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria, or The Empty Box and The Zeroth Maria, tells the story of Kazuki Hoshino, who is almost madly attached to his everyday life, and his antagonist Aya Otonashi, who suddenly transfers into his class at the end of the school year—for no less than the 13,118th time. Without hesitation, she announces her intent to “break” him. Kazuki's struggle to defend his everyday life begins, and the many secrets it is built on start to come to light.
