いちご100% (Ichigo 100%)
Manaka Junpei (真中淳平) is one ordinary boy with no girlfriends, but he is passionate about filmmaking, and wants to become a filmmaker in the future. One day he walks to the roof of his school and encounters a beautiful girl falling on to him and flashing her strawberry panties. The embarrassed girl runs away before Junpei can find out who she is, and so the search is on for the girl with the strawberry panties! Along the way, he befriends the shy Toujou Aya (東城 綾) and the extremely popular Nishino Tsukasa (西野つかさ). Throws in the sporty (and busty) Kitaouji Satsuki (北大路さつき) and Jumpei's childhood friend Minamoto Yui (南戸 唯), high school life is never this GOOD and PAINFUL for Junpei...
Ichigo 100% is based on the manga by 河下 水希 (Kawashita Mizuki), which runs from 2002 to 2005. The TV series was released in 2005, and 5 OVA episodes were released in the same year right after the TV series ended.

Ichigo 100% (2005)
13 episodes TV series
It is a very funny show, not that it has much substance in the story anyway. Not only that, the indecisive nature of Junpei just makes everything more complicated. Too bad all the girls just find him loveable...
Each episode contains two episodes, so in effect it is a 26 mini-episodes TV series. As for the last episode, it was never broadcasted, and it was released with the DVD release.
