Abstract: We observe that an anti-symplectic manifold locally always admits a parity structure. The parity structure can be viewed as a complex-like structure on the manifold. This induces an odd metric and its Levi-Civita connection, and thereby a new notion of an odd Kaehler geometry. Oversimplified, just to capture the idea, the bosonic variables are ``holomorphic, while the fermionic variables are ``anti-holomorphic. We find that an odd Kaehler manifold in this new ``complex sense has a nilpotent odd Laplacian iff it is Ricci-form-flat. The local cohomology of the odd Laplacian is derived. An odd Calabi-Yau manifold has locally a canonical volume form. We suggest that an odd Calabi-Yau manifold is the natural geometric notion to appear in covariant BV-quantization. Finally, we give a vielbein formulation of anti-symplectic manifolds.
