☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume continues the romantic comedy series by Mizuki Kawashita, collecting the next chapters of the story as high school student Junpei Manaka navigates his feelings for multiple girls while pursuing his dream of becoming a filmmaker. Volume 12 advances the love polygon and the characters' personal growth as they approach graduation and the end of their school days.
In "Don't Let Me Go," Satsuki’s attempt to quietly follow Junpei as he walks Kozue home takes a hilariously awkward turn when her disguise backfires—Kozue mistakes her for a stalker, leading to an unexpectedly close encounter in the bushes. Written by Mizuki Kawashita and Yuko Sawada, with art by Kawashita and inks by Kuniyuki Abe, Yasuko Umi, and Nana Sato, this 2010 installment of Strawberry 100% captures the series’ signature mix of sweet tension and comedic missteps. The cover, penciled and inked by Mizuki Kawashita, perfectly captures the moment’s flustered charm.
In "Totally Different World," Junpei finds himself in a sticky situation when he must buy a gift for Tsukasa at a women's lingerie shop—so he disguises himself as a woman to avoid suspicion. The story unfolds with playful tension as Junpei navigates the shop, trying to stay incognito while staying true to himself.
In a crowded train car, Junpei steps in to shield Kozue from a groper, sparking an unexpected shift in her world. From that moment, she finds herself drawn to him in ways she can’t express—her growing obsession tangled with a deep-seated fear of men that keeps her silent.
In "Smile For Me," Junpei finds himself drawn into the quiet world of a cram school where a few classmates begin to feel less like strangers. Kozue, usually reserved, takes a tentative step forward by speaking to him—just once, but it’s enough to make the moment linger.
In "Romantic Intersections," Junpei makes a quiet effort to connect with the reserved Kozue, drawing her into conversation and shared moments—much to Aya’s quiet unease, as she watches him focus on someone else. When Satsuki unexpectedly spots the two together after school, the quiet tension between them begins to ripple through the group, leaving the next step uncertain.
In "Nocturnal Pursuit," Satsuki tries to quietly follow Junpei as he walks Kozue home, hidden beneath a ballcap and raincoat—only to accidentally trigger a panic when Kozue thinks she’s being stalked. What starts as a clumsy attempt at stealth quickly spirals into an awkward, cramped hiding game in the bushes, with Junpei and Kozue caught in a tense, intimate moment neither expected.
In "Under The Moonlight," Junpei finds himself caught in a quiet but charged moment under the soft glow of the moon, where lingering glances and unspoken feelings begin to blur the lines between friendship and something more. As a sudden intervention from a police officer clears the air, the ease Kozue has found in Junpei’s presence stirs unease in both Satsuki and Aya, who watch with growing tension.
In "Strawberry 6-7%", Satsuki stumbles into a bizarre kitchen experiment when she samples a strange food concoction, only to find her own figure dramatically shrinking while everyone else—unexpectedly including the boys—grows dramatically larger. The sudden shift in proportions throws the usual dynamics into chaos, all in a lighthearted, absurd twist that’s pure, playful humor.
