Define "official". I think it's official enough. It's true to the source content, anyway.

Strawberry always talks about Canola being her BFF, though Canola doesn't do the same in her secretary quotes. And Strawberry mentions idolizing Sakura and Mei in her intro and secretary quotes as well.

Strawberry and Canola do get together in chapter 13 of the main story, as well as one of Blossom Hill's nation defense maps.

All four girls are in Strawberry's character quest too (which we still don't have even though it was one of the first ones released in DMM, grr).

The manga is official and has a game tie-in where buying the upcoming first volume will entitle you to a serial code for Ping-pong Chrysanthemum (the preparation of that volume is probably the reason there wasn't a chapter for March). It takes place before the events of the game, which is why you see Strawberry and Canola as knight school students instead of apprentice knights.

As an aside, Canola's limited voices also say that these two give each other Valentine's Day/White Day gifts.

Ok so I was able to find 1,2,3, and 7. I have searched pretty extensively and I cannot find 4, 5, and 6 anywhere plus I also think there's a chapter 8 now?
Has anyone had luck finding the middle chapters?

Chapters 1-7 are getting a printed release on Friday, so you'll probably get the missing chapters soon.
I plan on buying it, but I won't have it until well into May. So if you can wait until then, you'll get to read them.
