Synopsis

Strawberry panties backdropped against a sunset sky—that was aspiring film director Junpei Manaka's introduction to a mysterious beauty at his middle school. Suspecting the girl is his classmate Aya Toujou, Junpei sets out to get in touch with her to refilm that skirt flip for "artistic" reasons. However, when he bumps into her the next day, he sees a girl that looks vastly different from the one in his memories.

Just when Junpei thinks he is back to the drawing board, he runs into the school's darling, Tsukasa Nishino, boldly declaring that she is wearing strawberry panties for the day. Convincing himself that Tsukasa is the girl he has been looking for all along, Junpei starts planning his confession—all for the sake of becoming her boyfriend and filming her panties!

English (translate using Deepl)

Manaka has become my favorite protagonist of the school romantic harem because unlike other examples that are mentioned when referring to "characters dedicated to the reader to be projected on them" and that I find, to say the least, difficult, given that they are boys with characteristics that define a gallant (brave, attentive to their environment, pleasant) making any attempt at identification unsuccessful. Manaka is not like that.

He is socially awkward, he does not understand his feelings or those of others, he is unable to communicate to express what he genuinely thinks, much less act on it, and his bravery is only ...

Ichigo 100% - 7/10

A guy who wants to find the girl of the strawberry panty, but actually he ends finding a lot fo girls, and he also wants to be a films director.

Story-6/10
Ichigo 100% has a weak story, but there are funny and memorable moments, other than that, the story was longer than the necessary and put some irrelevant caharacters in the end, but the final was really good, it was realistic about the main character's decisions and the girls' attitude, otherwise, the MC's dream had a good development, but was forgotten in various moments.

Art-7/10
The incial art was normal, there wasn't a huge difference between ...

Ichigo 100%... Some of you may have stumbled on this manga from Pewdiepie, Daidus, or TheAnimeMan who also called it the best purely romantic manga of all time. First of, I didn't read a lot of manga as of yet, but I've seen a shit ton of romantic anime, and boy oh boy, if this is the best out there, romantic manga reading is going to be a rocky ride.

Art
Some new fans of the otaku culture might naturally want to stay at the more modern works, because the art might not really be appealing to them, and Ichigo 100% sticks a knife right ... into their foolish brains, because the art is gorgeous. For the degenerates out there, the ecchi scenes are beautifully portrayed, however you won't find any full on nudes in here.

Story
What I liked about the story was its dedication to the romantic genre. Character's in it don't really deal with anything else, ofc except for their future, but these troubles about the future neatly tie back to the romance pentagon. The always recurring curveballs keep you on your toes until the end, so you never know, which girl is going to end up with the protagonist. However, the main character's personality traits force the story to be extremely dragged out, boring, and tiring. Cliches aren't necessarily bad, but they have to be balanced, and lead up to something either unique or enjoyable, but this manga uses cliches to cause psychological pain to the reader. If you're not professionally trained to tolerate cockblocks, this manga is NOT for you. Cockblocks might be funny and can fit the story well, but this manga uses them so much, that the author probably ran out of the fun cockblocks, and had to use the cheapest of the cheapest ones (A flickering light?! How would that ruin a mood for 2 virgins?!). After probably 30 chapters I really wanted to drop it, but I grid my teeth and finished it, and I'm so glad I did. The ending is probably the most important, and god damn, did this manga deliver a good ending. I think that no matter what your opinion is about the majority of this manga, you'll feel satisfied at the end of it.

Characters
The main character is annoying. There's no doubt about it. Haters might say he's realistic, which might be true, but that still doesn't eliminates the fact that he's annoying, indecisive, and overall a pretty plain character, except for his passion for movies and desire to help others even if it means he'll get beaten up. Junpei is probably the main reason why the story was so dragged out. Even though he evolves a little bit at the end, he still remains the least evolving character in this manga. Which is a shame, since he's the main character.
The side characters however scored some bonus points. They're funny, cute, supportive in their own ways. They all steadily grow, and learn from their experiences, change their relationships, and eventually learn what it means to be more adult.

Overall
I understand this manga's influence in the manga industry. A lot of authors probably used Ichigo 100% as an inspiration, and a lot of now popular romance tropes might have been created here. That, the beautiful art, the satisfying ending and interesting supporting characters saved this manga from a low score. I wouldn't personally recommend this manga to new readers, but if you're an experienced otaku, give it a try. After all, it's a piece of history, and at the end, you'll be happy you finished it.
