These posts are a bit old, but I wanted to clarify some misconceptions...

All this is just American terminology. For example shojo-ai is not used in Japan with this meaning; they use the term yuri for everything, from stories depicting strong emotional connection such as Maria-sama ga Miteru, to more explicit romances like Strawberry Panic.

And yes it is american terminology, but it's still valid terminology. The Us isnt Japan, and Japan isnt the US. Although both shojo-ai and shonen-ai are being used these days as demographics in japan aswell. All that said, if you want to carry on debating terminology and demographics, amke a new post. This is derailing the SP thread more and more |

Seven Seas did a competition on their site for the SP light novels and picked reviews from the entries. In short, just keep writing, but also be active on the publishers sites/forums. @Kazu - whatever, i can't be bothered to argue with you about it, since frankly i don't give a rats behind. If you want to talk about it properly, open a thread and i will. otherwise i just wont bother anymore. lets stop derailing the thread okay. Last edited by Tiamat's Disciple; 2008-03-20 at 20:37. |

On a more on-topic note... I have never watched or read anything of Strawberry Panic!; the character designs are totally unappealing to me. But since I don't have too much to watch or read at the moment, I was considering to give it shot. So, what should I start with? The anime, the manga, or the light novel?

The Manga is just made out of plain win. This actually has the shounen-ish feel to it and the jokes are hilarious and it doesn't try to take it self too serious. I say just try both since they are pretty different anyway. Hmm, but what to start to with. Go for the anime first since that's completed anyhow and reading the manga first will only make you think that the manga is better. Last edited by 2H-Dragon; 2008-03-21 at 04:40. |

The manga is complete
Volume 3 of the manga is on hiatus with no release date in japan yet. So all two vols are currently available. The LN is what started it all, both the manga and anime are adaptions of it. As for where to start, IMO the manga, the anime has to many flaws in it. |

But anyway. I think I'll read a bit of the manga first, and If I like it, I'll try the other media too. Thanks for the suggestions!!
