The manga is still unfinished, with five bound volumes published, and originally appeared in the Japanese shonen manga magazine Dengeki Daioh published by MediaWorks in 2002. The manga has since been published by Tokyopop and Kurokawa as of 2007. Early chapters of the manga, especially within the first volume, see Nobue breaking the fourth wall fairly often as she addresses the reader. Barasui's art style suits the story and characters personalities. The girls are all very cute, and the art style reflects that, while keeping nice soft, clean lines and a lovely amount of details, especially on the outside world. During each chapter there is a small character profile of sorts, showing one of the girls in a different outfit for each season, these add a nice touch to break up the chapters, also allowing a little insight into each of the girl's characters.
As a manga fan, and a fan of the slice-of-life genre, I would give ''Strawberry Marshmallow'' a rating of four out of five stars. ''Strawberry Marshmallow'' is a great manga, with well -created characters, simple but effective plots and good humour, and although it is not the best example of the genre, I would still recommend it to fans or younger readers. Older readers will enjoy [[Alex and Ada Volume 1 by Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn]].
