Plot/ Story/
Ichigo 100% is what you can call a classic Harem, Romantic, Comedy having the typical set-up of one average guy (Manaka Junpei) surrounded by gorgeous girls. The story starts of incredibly stupid that it is funny and this being a Rom/Com makes it acceptable. From this point on we have a really long manga full of cliches and at some points in the story, it feels dragged out, but the themes (panties, movies, compass, etc.) does help give Ichigo 100% a refreshing sense. One thing to enjoy about Ichigo 100% is how well it promotes speculation, because it isn’t certain, who the main character would end up with.

Drawing Style/ Characters
The artwork starts of just above average but as the manga began to develop, so did the artwork, which brought a new meaning to "panty shots". Like in most Rom/Coms all the detail is put into the girl’s character designs, which is really good to see the individual features, they have, which match their varying personalities. The guys don’t really seem all that important, apart from the protagonist and a few others. The characters are well developed and it is interesting to look back and see how a certain character, you like, has changed over time.

Overall/ Enjoyment
Overall this manga doesn’t stand out because of its artwork or story but how enjoyable it is to read it, which is the only reason why anyone would read all 19 Volumes. The likable characters and romantic developments are also more reasons to think of this as one of the best harem manga out; however all the cliches may turn some people of. Well I personally loved this, which is why overall I gave it 5/5.
