The collage shown below, seemingly a collection of attractive young girls, conceals an unsettling (?) secret…
Can you spot it?
In the slight chance you don’t realize what exactly is going on here, but enjoy looking at the cute characters regardless, perhaps you might not wish to inquire any further…
The Maria Holic cover image is available in high resolution on the Channel.

I wouldn't be so sure that Touka (from Touka Gettan, the last of the 3rd row) is a trap...
His/her gender is one of the mysteries of the series which never got explained.
Most of the characters think s/he's male, but there are many hints that s/he could be a girl (and so a reverse trap).
THIS is why 2D > 3D
You have saved me from an untimely demise O_o
Looking through the pic, the ones I spotted (though I forgot their names):
A4 Bridget from Guilty Gear
B8 Hibiki from I My Me! Strawberry Egg
B9 Aoi from You're Under Arrest
B10 Hayate from Hayate no Gotoku
C2 Haku from Naruto
D7 Kamagatari from Rurouni Kenshin
F6 Nuriko from Fushigi Yuugi
F9 ... from Vandread
G2 Shidou Mariya from Maria Holic
Fapping, speed of light, etc.
omg!
>>row 4 #7
that's kamagatari from Rurouni Kenshin. One of my first few animes back then and also the first trap i encountered in anime! LOL
ONCE YOU FAP TO A TRAP
Got a question...would you guys consider Ranma as a trap?
Cause we all know although he can completely turn into a girl 'physically', but the person 'inside' is still a guy...so what do you guys think?
He walks a narrow ledge of trap/trany/hermaphrodite because of the curse...just to feel better about myself I'll go with trap.
In principle, I'm not a fan of genderbending or crosdressing (even the christmas ep. of Haruhi-chan kind).
But it's strictly in the details and depends on the medium. What goes into a character depicted on a still image or manga is closer to WYSIWYG than in animation. Any giveaways have disqualifying power, but if there are none, one can work with the appearance in abstraction from the concept of the character that it is the original constituent of. But - the acute differences between male and female features (and male and female visual agreeability) in flesh and blood humans get shallowed down in manga, which can work either way, depending on what you know about the situation. You can tweak and adapt it if it's worth it.
In Ranma's case - to be fair to the likes of Cthugha or OS-tans, mermaids and what have you, you don't have to be bothered by what your character is in their other jobs. If he has the ability to be a girl, then he is one. Of course, being an attractive girl may be a few grades harder than just being identifiable as one.
How about sexy-jitsu Naruto then?
First row, 8th: Peppo from Gankutsuou, "I just want to help the boy I love". Killer line.
Fourth one on the second row is Gretel from Black Lagoon, a pair of twins switch between playing Hansel and Gretel, and their gender is never stated so it could be male or female.
Quen, great collage, but people who haven't watched shugo chara or the like should be warned that there are spoilers in that picture. Like a certain number of characters we didn't know were actually male:P.
Good point...
Apologies if I hurt someone's viewing of some shows. ^^

in my mind peppo is still a girl:(
Does no one notice that they ALL are traps. Save about 3-4 of them, everyone is a trap. Sorry if it was already said, too lazy to read through every post.
Some of the comments did seem a bit slow; "hay wow theirs a lot of traps here..."
I think it's safe to say that everyone's realised this. At least I hope so...

Fujimiya Sai

Mako-chan and Bridget = love
no matter how cute or beautiful they are they're TRAPS!

plenty of traps in korea. XD
the ones i recognize are kamatari honjou[my first fave trap ever. ima girl btw] from rurouni kenshin, noriko from fushigi yuugi, that vice-captain guy from vandread and that guy from shugo chara. [i'm out of loop. i only know traps from the 90s and early 00s(?)]
I'd totally hit them all regardless of their "add-on"
Is it sad that I recognise most of these?
The 3rd is Mizuho Miyanokouji from Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru.
6th character on the first row is Kei from Moyashimon.
Wow.....there are alot of traps there. lets see how many i can find. across the top will be numbers such and down the side will be letters.
Example:
1 2 3
a
b
c
A3 - Mizuho Miyanokouji from Otome Wa Boku Ni Koishiteru
A9 - Pico from Boku no Pico (shota hentai)
B3 - Hamaji Yakumo From H2O: Footprints in the Sand
B6 - Coco from Boku no Pico
B8 - Hibiki Amawa from I My Me! Strawberry Eggs
B10 - Hayate Ayasaki from Hayate the Combat Butler
C2 - Haku from Naruto
D1 - Mako-chan from Minami-ke
D3 - Negi Springfield from Negima!: Magister Negi Magi
F5 - Shiratori Ryushi from Mahoraba ~Heartful days~
F9 - Buzam A. Calessa from Vandread
G1 - Tadase Hotori from Shugo Chara!
IN TOTAL A DOZEN TRAPS!
And if anyone can top me on that they get a cookie!
You forgot:
A6 - Kei Yuuki from Moyashimon.
B9 - Futaba Aoi from You're under Arrest.
B4 - Hänsel/Gretel from Black Lagoon
B1 - Seishiro Kotobuki from Lovely Complex
C5 - Kouno Tooru from Princess Princess
F8 - Ayumi Saitou from Shion no Ou
G2 - Mariya Shidou from Maria+Holic (the hell did you miss that one?)
At least those are the ones I see from the top of my head.
Though it's still amazing how you can't spot at least Jun Watarase from Happiness! and Bridget from Guilty Gear...
missing jun? thats a sin.
Well i've never watched that anime.......
That's the sin.
I could recognize around 10 of them, including all of the above, Negi from Negima! cross-dressing, Haku from Naruto, the teacher guy from IMM!SE, the tsundere from Princess Princess or whatever, then I think that one between Mako and Negi is from Fruits Basket, oh and somewha to the right of them is the kusarigama-wielding okama from Kenshin TV, and could the second last of the second last row be from Vandread?
Ahh yes he is, he's the guy with the snake zodiac curse, offhand don't remember his name though. Yes that's Buzuma from Vandread.
Haha I noticed Negi too
Bring in some Konoka and Setsuna and I'll be happy
they should've added paako or zurako or fundoshi saigo, the okama from gintama... lol
Hmm, maybe this will help, I still had it on my PC:
http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w160/DarkShadozer/1221073067673.jpg
Some are not included, but most of the names(+series) are in it.
Like the last 2 are missing, I see. Though I do not know the very last one, the last one is obviously from Maria+Holic, Mariya Shidou.
Typoed as well, one to last* it had to be, but that seems to be Tadase Hotori from Shugo Chara, apparently.
It is, it's in one of the last episodes I cared to watch of the show.
