Line 3:
[[Teen Idol]] Tachibana Julia is not thrilled when told she has to look after a newbie... at least, [[Love At First Sight|until she gets a look at said newbie, Ran Asakawa]]. She changes her mind ''really'' fast, and so starts the story about [[Yuri Genre|their love]] and [[Hilarity Ensues|whatever wacky things happen to them and their friends]].
 
Written by Hayashiya Shizuru, the author of ''[[Hayate X× Blade]]'', ''[[Strawberry Shake Sweet]]'' started off as a story in ''[[Yuri Shimai]]'' and eventually ''[[Yuri Hime]]''. As expected of the author of ''[[Hayate X× Blade]]'', the story is chock full of many absolutely hysterical moments and a bunch of quirky characters as well. Definitely a recommended read for anyone who enjoys the [[Yuri Genre]] and comedy.
 
Was originally called just ''Strawberry Shake'', but got the ''Sweet'' added for legal reasons when it changed publishers.

=== Contains examples of: ===
* [[Accidental Kiss]]: Saeki gets one from Julia while trying to stop Julia from stealing a kiss from Ran.
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Saeki. See [[Not What It Looks Like]] below.
Line 24:
* [[But Liquor Is Quicker]]: {{spoiler|Julia just wants to loosen up a bit; she's [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|totally not trying to get Ran drunk.]] Same thing with Kaoru: she only wants to share a friendly glass with Saeki...}}
* [[The Casanova]]: Ryou has supposedly bedded ''thousands'' of girls, but she is prone to exaggeration...
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Julia's structural failure to convey her feelings to Ran makes up for most of the comedy (and drama) of the series.
* [[Cast Full of Gay]]: To Saeki's chagrin.
* [[Chatty Hairdresser]]: Kaoru.
Line 54:
{{quote|'''Kaoru''': No, it's because she's a girl. I like girls!}}
* [[Important Haircut]]: {{spoiler|Julia}} has short hair in the very last episode. Mainly, this indicates that some time has passed, but {{spoiler|in that time Ran has disappeared, and also Julia has changed somewhat.}}
* [[Improbably-Fundamentally Female Cast]]: As with most [[Girls Love]] series.
* [[In Vino Veritas]]: One glass is enough to {{spoiler|transform the shy, insecure and -up to that point- mostly straight Ran [http://mangafox.me/manga/strawberry_shake/v01/c006.5/13.html into] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/strawberry_shake/v01/c006.5/14.html this]}}
* [[Intertwined Fingers]]: Julia and Ran doing it in {{spoiler|chapter 15}} symbolizes the next stage of their relationship.
Line 81:
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Ran thinks that there is one after her in one of the subplots; Saeki is convinced Julia is one and is afraid she'll take it too far.
** Also, in the final chapter we learn that {{spoiler|while Ran was supposedly living overseas with her father, she was actually still in Japan and regularly stalking Julia.}}
* [[The Stoic]]: When Ran first appears, she gives off this impression due to her rather sleepy look and lack of expression. This changes as the story goes on.
* [[Strawberry Shorthand]]
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]] / [[Blatant Lies]]:
Line 92:
* [[This and That]]: Invoked by Julia in chapter 3.
* [[Thunder Shock]]
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Played with, the short-haired boyish-looking Ran is the more gentle and feminine one, whereas Julia is an aggressive [[Kick Chick]].
* [[Tsundere]]: Rena acts this way towards Sera, the one she loves, with emphasis on the tsuntsun side.
** At one point, Julia thinks it may be better to act more cold towards Ran during work and more friendly during free time. All she succeeds in doing is confusing Ran even more.
