Name: Ichigo Mashimaro Genre: Comedy Year: 2005 Rating: Enjoyable Ichigo Mashimaro follows the daily life of elementary school girls and their older sister figure Nobue. If cuteness was a genre this would fit the classification perfectly. You can tell that the series focuses on cuteness. With a smooth easy on the eye pastel colour range and the constant appearance of cutesy comedy this series would appeal to those who enjoy the more cute side of life. However on the other hand Nobue is highly addicted to cigarettes. So hence we have a story of an older sister trying to afford cigarettes while looking after her younger sister and her friends.

Ahhh, here at last. I can honestly say that I was waiting for this on the edge of my seat since the day Lovely Kitsune posted about its existence all those months ago. Ichigo Mashimaro is, in my opinion, one of the best done series, due to its simplicity and brilliance. It’s got those two [...]

Some of you may recall Os's earlier ordeal concerning his purchase of Volume 2 of Strawberry Marshmallow (Ichigo Mashimaro) at his Borders. At the time, I laughed at him and mocked him severely for not doing the smart thing and just ordering it online, like I did with volume one. Well, here's the part where [...]

There’s a fine line between cute and annoying. Depending on your tolerance for annoying crap, that line might be thinner for one person than it is for someone else. Therefore, my thin line between cute and annoying is very thin indeed. Now, I DO love cute things, let me make that [...]

I picked up volume 1 of Strawberry Marshmallow today, and being an overbearing fanboy dick, naturally I decided to compare various chapters of it to the Ichigo Marshimaro scanlations. From what I can tell, it does look like "fanservice" is still all a go, so that's one worry hopefully taken care of. However, sadly it seems that the adaptation is less than a steller performance here. While not

Manga in order of excitability: it’s more difficult when there are no previews, but there’s always some girl raving about the yaoi in a distant corner of the web, European language previews, and of course…the joy of bittorrent. This month’s winner… 1. Otogi Zoshi - Narumi Seto (13+) This was going to be my favourite regardless of seeing [...]

Though it’s quite irritating to have people standing/sitting beside me on the trains to keep peeling sideways to watch [...]
