Strawberry Marshmellow anime synopsis / summary:

    Ichigo Mashimaro is about the daily activities of a group of elementary school girls, Chika, Miu, Matsuri and Anna. They are often looked after by Nobue Ito, a college student who is Chika’s older sister but acts as a sister figure to all the girls.  Nobue is usually quite lazy and only takes up part-time jobs in order to have money to buy cigarettes.  She has a fetish for cute things and her hobby is to make the girls dress up and say cute things.  Chika is probably the most normal of the girls, at times acting more mature than her older sister.  Miu is a spontaneous child who is Chika’s closest childhood friend.  She is very random and comedic, but often ends up on Nobue’s bad side.  Maturi is the shy and quiet type, she is also very naïve but this makes her even more cute in Nobue’s eyes.  Anna is of British descent, but has been raised in Japan almost her whole life and so is completely Japanese other than her appearance.  She tried to put up a façade of being the ‘foreigner’ at school, but her secret is soon discovered by Matsuri, Chika and Miu.  The girls become close friends, especially Nobue who adores Anna.

    Like many slice of life genre anime, Ichigo Mashimaro has no plotline and instead follows the adventures and antics of the girls.  The characters all have memorable personalities and the comedy is superb.  Ichigo Mashimaro is relaxing to watch, it’ll deliver some good laughs and has good animation quality.  I highly recommend it.
