Strawberry Panic - Difference between the novel & manga?

[Adam_Arnold]

The Light Novel tells the story the way the creator originally envisioned. The manga is an abridged adaptation of the novel series with elements of the anime inserted.

light novels were initially released in magazines a few chapters at a time. Think Shonen Jump or Shojo Jump, but with chapters of novels rather than stories. And then later released in volumes, which are usually the same size (roughly) as the manga, and interspersed with illustrations.

Strawberry Panic did begin life as a series of short stories published in a magazine, but the light novels were written for print.

Would anyone know of how one might acquire said short stories? I'm very curious now that I know from where the manga/anime rooted from...

My guess would be that since they're short stories that were later revised into full novels, you would have to track down copies of the original magazines that they ran in. Erica Friedman over at Okazu (it's a yuri blog) might be the best person to ask about this.

Erica doesn't hate Strawberry Panic. She just hardcore enough to know that it's a satire on yuri series in general. Even so, Okazu is the best place to go if you want yuri news and reviews.

If you're so sure that the SP authors wrote it as a satire/parody, why didn't you write it on the volumes you published?
On the volumes and on your website is described as a normal yuri series.
Does this mean that you were deceiving us?

Dude, seriously... what is up with you today? Chill the frak out a little.

None of us even knew Strawberry Panic was a satire/parody of Maria-sama until it was pointed out to us. It's just how this kind of thing happens. I mean, Andrew Cunningham, the Boogiepop god that he is, didn't even pick up on some of the Prince references in that series until someone else noticed it. It's just the nature of dealing with material from another country sometimes.

But, about that, the fact that SP should be a satire was officially pointed out by the authors or it's just an interpretation of that woman?
