Plot Synopsis

Manaka Junpei encounters a beautiful girl on the roof of his school. Pictured against the backdrop of the setting sun, with her wind blowing through her hair, Junpei manages to catch a glimpse of her strawberry panties. Embarassed, the girl runs away before he even gets the chance to talk to her. His only clue is the math notebook she dropped, with the name 'Toujou Aya' written on the cover.

The next day, he finds that the 'Toujou Aya' who owns the notebook is the exact opposite of the girl he saw on the rooftop. There's no way it can be her... Can it? Junpei then has to juggle school life, tests, his girlfriend & all the other girls he finds attractive. Just who will he end up with... Who is the girl for him?

Story & Characters

The story line is pretty good to all the males I know, although my sister reads it as well. Ichigo 100 percent is about a male player; maybe such a harsh word doesn’t suit him though. The story is alluring because it’s usually the males, Quote (Males) that does all the chasing, this makes the manga interesting. Usually I’m reading some chick manga, and I can comprehend the love triangle in manga's such as Fruit basket, Ranma 1/2, but in Ichigo 100 percent, it makes me think profoundly of what an idiot the lead male, Manaka, is. Haha, it’s funny actually, so many bad points, really makes a guy think does he really have a chance with such ideal girls in reality. I got to admit though Manaka really is a sweet guy, the guy would go any heights to protect the girls he loves.. And as for the ones he doesn’t know, I mean isn't it going overboard to be giving 200000 zen to a total stranger. That’s probably the trait they all love about him... I for one would never do that. Like Sotomura, manaka's most perverted friend said, this guy is using all his luck in his youth haha. What’s probably best about this manga is it has the perspective of a guy thought and whims in it. Ahh, those strawberry panties.. Sometimes, I come to the conclusion that the author is obsessed with strawberry panties. Really surprised me when the author switched to cherry underwear at a particular moment, I felt betrayed..haha.. I just stared at the manga and stop to think. WHY?? This book is supposed to be about strawberries!!, Ichigo is after all the japanese word for strawberry. This manga definely got all the features that would attract males.., if your not flux by this manga, I don't know if anything else could. Just read the manga, you'll see heheh. The story starts at late middle school and still continuing in college, making this manga a really inspiring love bond and motive to find the perfect girl. I feel empowered reading this manga, nothing could stand in the way of my dreams! This manga advocate the important of dreams, I too have bigger than life dreams. This manga evoked an inner fire within me, I feel impaled to crush my opponents in high school and embrace my own dreams.
Now its just a matter of time.. Until then I'll wait a while for the new chapters to come out and see how it ends.

Art

The art in this manga can vary.. Sometimes its very sophisticated and others times very childish. I can live with that, makes it all the more enthralling to read. The drawings are glamorous, seductive, mesmeric, and tantalizing. Haha I wouldn’t say glamorous to the young lady that expose her panties to the world but it still is something the eyes behold with open arms. The art captivates the beauty of women and their seductive powers. The close-ups in this manga really takes your breath away.. Take a second or two to observe the beauty of it. As a fellow artist, I like the style and its attractiveness. Nothing beats the close-up of a lady in tears or the glee and grace of happiness upon a grinning cheerful face. The color of this manga is also great, especially on the covers of the manga... it matches the emotions that are involved Specifying talking about the covers, it has a light bright colors, the atmosphere always seems hazy as to express the anxiety of the plot.
For the great art, and since to me few other manga can top the sophistication, i give it a high score.

Sound

The sound in this animation is pretty good, the background music can be pretty depressing at times. The voices of the characters are so sweet and seductive at other moments. One time, my dad heard a moan from the animation and came in to check out what it was. He started to think I was watching some kind of ecchi animation so he watched with me for sometimes.. It was pretty embarrassing but in the end, he said it that the anime wasn't that inappropriate.. and that I was a growing boy -.- . I'm from the US so I don't understand japanese so I read the translation. I can't really say much about the sound since I don't know how to grade verbal acting but it sounds perfectly normal as any other original japanese animation so i give it a normal score

Presentation

The humor is really great, hahah, you got to love klutz in romantic manga's, it emphasizes how much the girls need Manaka around to survive. I’ve read the manga.. And was I possessed or what. I would always say.. Last chapter before going to sleep and the next time I know, it was 4 o clocks in the morning. It was all thanks to the plot that I was absorbed, it was hilarious.. and at other times sad and pitiful. The boldness of the girls keeps the manga lively and vivid. Ah, how many chances did Manaka had the chance to make out or have sex but chicken out? Many, you just want to know if he's going to get some, but the thought of him already getting it really would have ruined the story. The manga itself is going through the process of ageing is probably another reason the manga is so riveting, you want to stop the anxiety of what's their ahead as the characters got older as to gain some experience in life yourself.
Love mangas are abundant these days and they don't give you the rush you had the first time you ever read a love manga, the plots are usually easy to predict and you'll know the outcome way before it even comes out.. But that's okay, you'll never know, the manga might surprise you with a wierd ending that'll you hate so much. But isn't this happy ending love based? Love isn't always fair and happy ending. There are mangas' that leave you hanging and gloomy. You'll feel depressed and hangover once it ends, but isn't that what we're asking for? A lot of profound emotions and self-discovery is the key to a great manga. Ichigo 100% can be one of these mangas so be mentally prepared Hahah.
As for the game playability, I think it would be very awkward and not a good idea. Whoever heard of a Romance game based that was actually popular internationally? I'm a gamer, and for me all I want to do is own people. It gives you the sense of superiority and franking in Ichigo 100 percent, I don't think it could be a player vs. player and if it was, that’s very improper to the story line. As for an idea if it was a game, it probably it something like the Sims, constructing on emotional connection between the main characters and trying to end up with the person you want. That would be too easy though because you can shake all others’ feelings and not care. In real life though, it’s not that easy to reject someone. Period.
