Synopsis
Berry Mashimaro
The story is about five girls between the ages of 11 and 20, who observe the seemingly ordinary world through their eyes. It is a one-shot unit drama. The setting of the story is based on many places and things that do exist: the main characters live in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture (the author's birthplace), Hamamatsu Station, Lake Sasaki, a dairy farm's milk brand "Toda no Oishii Cow's Milk," the elementary school where Miu and the others go to school, and so on. However, the weather in Hamamatsu City is mild and snowfall is rare. Hamamatsu City has become a "mecca" for many Strawberry Marshmallow viewers, but it has caused a lot of trouble for the local residents, and Dengeki Daioh Magazine, which publishes the manga, has advised its readers not to disturb the residents' lives.

Editing the anime
Note: In the anime, Shin Megumi is a 20 year old college student, and his birthday is different from that of the manga. The TV anime "Strawberry Cotton Candy" is a hilarious depiction of everyday life through the story of four cute, very different elementary school students and a 20-year-old college girl who likes cigarettes and beer. The stylish, slightly old-fashioned action, combined with the constant silliness of the behavior makes the entire anime full of scenes that you can't help but laugh at. It's a cute and hilarious anime that both boys and girls will look forward to. The story depicts the cozy daily life of elementary school girls. Shin Megumi and Chika are sisters who are very close despite their age difference. Due to their childhood friend, Miu, the sisters get caught up in strange events every day. The sisters and Jasmine Sakuragi suffer in silence, even in the face of Miu's antics. One day, a blonde girl from Chika's school, Anna ......
