Summary:
-Everyone leaves for home now that Summer School is over. The only remaining girls are Tamao, Nagisa, Shizuma, and Miyuki. Tamao was planning on going home too, but is staying because of Nagisa – Tamao’s suspicious of Shizuma and even Miyuki. Those suspicions are alleviated when Miyuki and Shizuma ask Nagisa to do some special studying with them, specifically in French. Tamao decides to go home and let Nagisa study here, but she first leaves her red ribbon tied on Nagisa’s arm as a good luck charm.
-Nagisa gets frustrated easily studying French, but Miyuki is quite stern with her. Miyuki stresses that she and Shizuma are graduating soon and that Nagisa only has three more years.
-During a break, Nagisa runs into Amane and starts chatting with her. Amane thinks that Miyuki’s earlier anger was because Miyuki is fated to marry right after she graduates. Amane comments that Nagisa is strange because she’s the only Miator student who’s not like a caged bird.
-Shizuma catches Amane leaning over Nagisa right after Nagisa took a fall. Shizuma makes it clear to Amane that Amane should choose a princess from Spica. Amane thinks of herself also as a caged bird.
-After finishing the day of intense studying, Shizuma invites Nagisa out to the festival. Or rather, they can only go as far as the gate and watch the fireworks from a distance.
-Shizuma agrees with Amane’s assessment that they’re like caged birds, watching the fireworks on the outside. Nagisa thinks that it’s happier like this than watching them alone. She admits how lonely she was during Summer School, and Shizuma says that she was lonely too. Offering to teach her why she had those feelings, Shizuma takes Nagisa’s hand and the two twirl around by the pool.
-Shizuma notices that Nagisa is wearing the good luck charm Tamao gave her, so Shizuma tries to take it off. In resisting, Nagisa accidentally tumbles backwards into the pool and Shizuma falls in with her.
-In the water, Shizuma leans in and kisses Nagisa. The red string around Nagisa’s hand unfurls and drifts away.
-The two return to Shizuma’s rooms and take separate showers. Nagisa is ready to leave afterwards, but Shizuma comes on strong again. She knows that earlier was Nagisa’s first kiss, though she admits that it was not her own first.
-In trying to resist Shizuma, Nagisa falls on the bed and Shizuma pins her down. Shizuma fondles Nagisa’s breast and then starts taking off Nagisa’s gown. However, Shizuma suddenly gets a flashback of a previous girl calling out her name. Shizuma freezes what she’s doing and cries a tear. Nagisa uses this chance to get away. Miyuki sees her leaving and realizes that Shizuma must have done something.
-The next day, Tamao returns after having only been away for one day. She notices that the good luck charm is gone from Nagisa’s wrist. Nagisa looks so sad from having lost it that Tamao hugs her.
Preview:
The soft-core lesbian porn is back! And we didn’t even need to have Kaname or Momomi for it…
Shizuma and Nagisa finally get their kiss, along with plenty of steamy moments. Shizuma just couldn’t follow through with her sexual desires though (I’ll shy away from calling her impotent lol). Of course that girl in the flashback has something to do with it. She’s probably the most important of all of Shizuma’s previous flings, perhaps the girl who made Shizuma into who she is now. And that who-she-is-now apparently includes a lot of jealousy, from Shizuma’s confrontation with Amane to Shizuma trying to take off the ribbon/good luck charm that Tamao gave Nagisa.
I had a good chuckle when Amane mentioned that Miyuki was set to get married right after graduation. It was mainly because they portray men as this dark, evil force ready to take away the girls. So much so that the girls have no choice but to turn to each other for true love lol.
And I spoke too soon about Kaname and Momomi because next week will feature their return along with the focus back on HikariXAmane.
holy yuridom
O.oo.
Take ur time to write about the anime Omni! Rest a bit first XD
yeah don’t get tired………. just watch the images…… is also good
al i’m glad to see you are back in bussiness
haha yea Yuri i was like finally some action between those two…..but sadly it was cut short….but Shizuma didnt cry, that was sweat…..atleast i think it was,,,,,,well anyways hope they eventually get together together and not a fling or somethin…….and Omni hope you’ll recover 200%
A really interesting episode indeed!
Well, at least we know a little bit more about Shizuma and her background; well just a flasjback, but if you’re reading the manga, you’ll know what I’m talking about ^_^
Nagisa x Shizuma FTW!
Welcome back Onmi
Good to have you back Onmi. Coincidentally I was out too for my own medical reasons.
Just as Omni is checked out of the hospital, Hypernova is admitted to the ER due to massive blood loss Karin style.
i think the lesbo kiss part is on you tube
What subbing group do you download from for Strawberry Panic?
I do not belive typing will tire anyone out, so I do not know why everyone keeps saying take it easy. I am aware he is still in the recovery state, but typing should not be a burden to anything but his fingers. Also, as for which fansub group I use, I use Serin.
i want Chikaru in YURI scene ..
director .. plzzz ..~~
this is totaly lesbian anime… i cant belive it..is there no male around this anime only female ??
>>It was mainly because they portray men as this dark, evil force ready to take away the girls. So much so that the girls have no choice but to turn to each other for true love lol.
o_0. A rather homophobic slant Omni? Ever thought Miyuki wanted a say in her partner, male or female? Such a arrangement like this sort will not gain her anything. As for the dark, evil force perhaps you are referring to yourself?

It’s genre is shoujo-ai so , yeah, it’s pretty much a lesbian anime. Enjoyable shoujo-ai.
I watched the episode already. It’s just acute how Shizuma kissed Nagisa and the things after that..
Poor Nagisa, she was forced into it, 😛
Now I’m curious about Shizuma’s past and how her and Nagisa’s relation will develop, at the moment I think it got a setback.
lol must watch this epsiode!!!
A really hot ep! But shizuma is really a bad girl 😉
I love yuri specially in my bedroom + me EHEHEHEH!!
Jejeje Well, I think our main stories are NagisaxShizumaxTomari & YayaxAmanexHikaru… so… let’s keep watching until the ned… if Strawberry Panic! promised a lot as yuri; it’s time to prove it ^^

It’s not the typing, it’s setting up at a desk that’s tiring. I know that may sound like it’s not to you, but even for minor surgery it can be exhausting trying to do much of anything but lay in bed while you recover. 🙂
I’m still catching up on the show, started watching it this week but definitely like it. Glad to see Nagisa and Shizuma got their kiss but I feel sorry for Tamao. Tamao reminds me a lot of Tomoyo from Card Captor Sakura, albeit older and more intense. 😀
AHHH!!! *MASSIVE NOSEBLEED* I LOVE IT.
hmm…i wonder would this hit the u.s…
im only thinking if that black-haired girl might be the THEN etoile. Right now im more interested in finding out who that girl is and what nagisa and shizuma would do now
>>As for the dark, evil force perhaps you are referring to yourself?
Actually if you watch it while Amane’s telling Nagisa about Miyuki being engaged it shows Miyuki with her back to a dark shadowy male. No features, just a solid black fill in the shape of a man. Also the backrgound is dark and foreboding too. So it does look a lot like they’re portrating men as a dark, evil force (whether this is intentional or not I don’t know, it’s kinda funny though.)

Yup, that’s pretty much exactly what I was referring to 🙂
@ Sei
In the manga around chapter 8, you’ll find a black-haired girl. She is
Show Spoiler ▼
Also, (HUGE spoiler concerning said girl and possibly why she’s affecting Shizuma’s subconscious)
Show Spoiler ▼
Based on the manga, that’s pretty much who I’m assuming that girl is.
Epi. 12 is the BEST EPISODE YET! 3 cheers for Yuri fondeling!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!! here to more yuri in the near future!
-.- hopefully no yuri scenes with chikaru…i dont want to see one…lol…^^;
Damn Etoli is HOT!!! BIG BOOOOOBBBBBSSSSS
I want Shizuma to rape me. I won’t resist. Well, maybe just a bit, to spice things up.
Alas, she’s a lesbo. And I’m sure she isn’t bisexual.
And the guy who posted the spoiler about the dark hair girl, you’re most likely right. That explains why Shizuma was so depressed back in the beginning Episode 1.
Also, if Shizuma tells Nagisa: “I’m going to teach you French”, then actually said “You gonna get raped” in French after pinning Nagisa down on the bed, then this episode would have been sublime.
Oh wait, this is not hentai.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS EPISODE!!FINALY THEY KISS XD
Shizuma you shouldent have stoped xD.
wow you writed alot and got most of the story in it tö^-^
