'''''Strobe Edge''''' is a shoujo manga by Io Sakisaka and ran in the magazine ''Bessatsu Margaret'' from 2007 to 2010. Credited for boosting Sakisaka's fame, it was compiled in ten volumes. Throughout its run, it was met with widespread success, spawning a voice-over comic, two drama CDs, and four light novels.

* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: Mayuka, Andou, Yuu, and Manabu each receive their own side stories in the printed volumes of the manga.
 
* [[A Day in The Limelight]]: Mayuka, Andou, Yuu, and Manabu each receive their own side stories in the printed volumes of the manga.
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Daiki is the Betty and Ren is the Veronica to Ninako's Archie. Come the middle of the series, the roles switch to Ren being the Betty and Andou being the Veronica.
** It's hard to say who is the Betty and who is the Veronica when it comes to Ninako and Mayuka. They appear to be the Betty and Veronica respectively, but only in appearance--Ninakoappearance—Ninako is our main heroine so the audience sympathizes with her more, but Mayuka is Ren's longtime girlfriend while Ninako sort of meddles into their relationship {{spoiler|and is more or less the reason why Mayuka breaks up with Ren.}}
* [[Big Man Onon Campus]]: Ren.
* [[Book Ends]]
* [[Chick Magnet]]: Ren.
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
** [[Love Dodecahedron]]: Daiki and Andou are in love with Ninako, who is in love with Ren, who is dating Mayuka but is slowly developing feelings for Ninako that he is initially in denial of.
* [[Maybe Ever After]]: It's really ambiguous as to whether {{spoiler|Andou and Mao}} get together in the end, especially since it's not mentioned in the epilogue. The same thing applies to {{spoiler|Manabu and Ritsuko}}.
* [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]: There's never an instance where Noriko is ''not'' called "Non-chan." Similarly, everyone never refers to Yuu by his full name, Yuutarou, but as simply "Yuu" or "Tera." To a lesser extent, Manabu is also known by the nickname "Ga-chan" (since "Gaku" is an alternate pronunciation to "Manabu") but his family, Ren, and Yuu still refer to him by his real name.
* [[Pair the Spares]]: Daiki, following Ninako's rejection, eventually starts dating and falls in love with Ninako's friend, Sayuri, becoming the [[Beta Couple]] in the series.
* [[Sacred First Kiss]]: Ninako runs into problems with this in the post-finale chapter, {{spoiler|as Andou had stolen her first kiss}}.
Line 42 ⟶ 41:
* [[Slice of Life]]
* [[Those Two Guys]]: It's easy to recognize Manabu and Yuu as two guys Ren is always seen with. Fortunately, their [[Character Development]] circa volume 3 makes them more prominent and distinguishable.
* [[Two Guys and Aa Girl]]: Ren, Andou, and Ninako.
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Daiki for Ninako. {{spoiler|Eventually Ren and Mayuka become this as well.}}
* [[Unwanted Harem]]: Ren rejects all of the love confessions he recieves from the girls at school because he has a girlfriend.
