A review by alparks
Strawberry Panic: The Complete Novel Collection by Sakurako Kimino

3.0

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.
