description Strawberry Marshmallow OVA Overview
Based on Barasui's manga series, Ichigo Mashimaro follows the life of Nobue Itou, her younger sister Chika, and her friends. The basic premise of the show can be summed up in "cute girls do cute things in cute ways", be it trying to quit smoking, going outside to play, celebrating a holiday, or doing school work. This OVA picks up where the series left off, continuing the adventures of your everyday life, only cuter. (Source: AniDB)
help Strawberry Marshmallow OVA FAQ
How many episodes are in the Strawberry Marshmallow OVA?
The original Ichigo Mashimaro OVA consists of three episodes released in Japan from February through April 2007. A separate two-episode follow-up titled Ichigo Mashimaro Encore arrived later.
Should I watch the Strawberry Marshmallow TV series before the OVA?
The OVA works best after the 12-episode 2005 television series because it assumes familiarity with Nobue, Chika, Miu, Matsuri, and Ana. Its stories continue the same low-stakes comedy rather than restarting the premise.
Does the OVA continue the manga's slice-of-life format?
Yes, it adapts the everyday comedy associated with Barasui's manga rather than introducing a large dramatic arc. Much of the humor still comes from Miu's disruptive behavior and the contrasting personalities of the five girls.
Is Strawberry Marshmallow OVA made by the same studio as the TV anime?
Yes, studio Daume produced both the 2005 television series and the 2007 OVA. The returning production helps the OVA preserve the show's soft visual style and deliberate comic timing.
