Synopsis

Nagisa Aoi is a new transfer student into one of the three prestigious all-girls Catholic high schools on Astraea Hill: a school called St. Miator (the other two are St. Spica and St. Lelim (known in the anime as Le Rim, for some reason). While getting totally lost on her first day, she stumbles into a clearing with a tree, and also into a girl with long silver hair. Nagisa is immediately smitten with the girl, Shizuma Hanazono, otherwise known as the Etoile of the three schools (the most idolized girl). Shizuma, after picking up a figurine dropped by Nagisa, kisses her on the forehead, leading to Nagisa fainting. After waking up in the school's infirmary, Nagisa then meets her new roommate, Tamao Suzumi. Things, however, will be getting a lot more complicated for the new student than just that.

Irishchatter I am so glad to find another brillant lesbian anime series. I love the fact they made the characters different from one other just like some Yaoi anime. I love the fact Shizuma is this weird girl who just is so laid back and really in love with Nagisa. You would think in girls movies that they b*tch around to each other but she was so different, that is so much what I like about this series! I literally melted that whenever she saw Nagisa, she would always nearly kiss her but like, in front of the whole school. Who would not also admire Nagisa? She is literally adorable and just so motivated to get the schools going. Like Sena from Love Stage!!, they both are truly angels lol! I even liked the other lesbian couple (cant think of them at the top my head) in the end, they should've been recogised more as well with Nagisa and Shizuma. They also looked cute together.I give this 9/10 cause its just a wonderful anime, I'm pretty much speechless and not making sense here lol!!!!!!!!
mironaxel This is one of my favorite anime series so I thought I'd make it known in this here, review, why it is definitely worth at least checking out because who knows, maybe you'll love it too. The majority of the story revolves around Ali Nagisa, a transfer student to an all-girls' Catholic school. The Victorian-esque scenery and environments encompassed throughout Strwaberry Panic include a "secret" greenhouse, a churchyard, marbled courtyards, various school buildings, dormitories, and a mysterious library.. say the least, it is all quite intrigueing. Shortly after arriving at the school, Ali Nagisa, has caught the attention of none other than the popular and much admired, upperclassmen, Shizuma, who becomes very fond of Nagisa. Hijinks ensue and the series progresses on. An absolutely wonderful series, I wish it was more than just 26 episodes.
strangeland_tours It is a very enjoyable title, it might not offer a big deal of substance, but the love and the developing of the relationships sure provide good entertainment.It is indeed a Yuri title, I won't start with the WHOLE explanation of this term, but I'll say it's used in this side of the world for romantic and/or sexual relationships among women,so if You find yourself offended by same gender love or the like, better refrain from this anime and enjoy any other of the almost countless Japanese productions that have a lot of everything for everyone.Can't say much about the series because I don't want to spoil anything for you,but the characters I find easy to become fond of,I even liked the opening song and the art in general is soft and sweet.So,go for it if you are curious,if You would prefer something maybe a little bit more serious you may wanna watch Maria-sama ga miteru, also located in an all girls school, but way more serious.
leeroychappers This is a great series about an a girl who starts an all girl school and has to adjust to her new life style with all the tradition of the school. This is a really good love story ( girl - girl ) with many love triangle going on at the same time with people still trying to forget old love and start anew as well as people giving up on the people they love so there loved one can be truly happy all in all its a great anime i recommend this to anyone but if you don't like or are offended by Yuri ( girl - girl ) then don't bother. Its a shame there are only 26 episodes but they are all good with many lovable characters and a great storyline
