+ Strawberry Lunch +
Strawberry Lunch is the circle name for Kyakya Asano and Ai Minase, who are actually two of Arina Tanemura's manga assistants. Because the two work directly under Arina Tanemura, their style is very similar to the original manga style and their characterizations should be pretty close to the dot (since they're quite familiar with these characters). But while the two work under the same circle name, their doujinshi don't always have stories by both of them at the same time. Sometimes, their doujinshi are solo works (either by Kyakya Asano alone or by Ai Minase alone). And other times, their doujinshi are by both of them. So when getting doujinshi by this circle, one should watch the artist listing in order to determine what type of doujinshi it will be. Kyakya Asano seems to love doing soft hentai stories of the Izumi and Meroko pairing while Ai Minase seems to enjoy doing Mitsuki-centric stories. (And for those who had been following the Full Moon wo Sagashite manga, you'll learn that Arina Tanemura based the character of Mitsuki on Ai Minase. So this may be the reason why Ai Minase seems to favour Mitsuki over most other characters!)
