Reviews

"Excellent"

Anime News Network

"There is a lot of fun to be had in Strawberry Panic. An intense drama, a stellar comedy, a classic tale of love and loss, a story of the politics and pressures at a girls' school, and a timeless romance. A comic, a cartoon, a novel. Strawberry Panic is all this and more."

Erica Friedman, afterellen.com

"Get ready for 26 episodes of cute characters, amazing animation, witty charm and heartbreaking melodrama. You better find some tissues; they'll come in handy, believe me!"
