My first yuri/GL. I accidentally picked this up instead of the manga omnibus, but still enjoyed it. A couple mistranslations towards the end.

Strawberry Panic offers a lighthearted escape into a world of teenage romance at a prestigious all-girls' school. The story focuses on the strong bonds and affections between the girls, exploring their intense but innocent passions. Set in a sheltered haven free from outside influence, the narrative celebrates feminine connection and pure emotions. Despite its fantastical nature, the characters' genuine affection and heartfelt desires are surprisingly endearing.

Really good book! One of the biggest books I’ve ever read, was definitely a genre of book I’d never read before very chick-lit but turns out I really liked it! recommend! 5/5

I really enjoyed this. However, after waiting so long for the release of the last book in the series I found myself disappointed with its lack of emotionally gripping drama. It became overly complicated with far too many subplots pulling away from the main story. If the series were a few books longer those subplots would have been fine, but in this circumstance they just made the last book a muddle. All in all, while I did like the series, and was happy to have finally read the end, I must say I greatly preferred the anime with its greater attention to drama and character.

These books had many issues: a large enough cast to be confusing at times, too much telling rather than showing, and more than a smattering of both purple prose and melodrama. And yet I thoroughly enjoyed them because they are also adorable, sweet, and addictive. They were largely what is to be expected of a set of light hearted romantic light novels, and that's exactly what I needed to get through "the holidays" this year.

Having seen the anime, I was surprised by how different the novels were to the series. Looking forward to reading the manga.
