Chapter 8 is finally up. It was delayed for quite a bit, but now it's surprisingly relevant, since it features the current event girl, Buttercup.

The other girl in this chapter is Delphinium.

Another lewd chapter.

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.

Yep, I only knew Canola (she was my starter 4 star, like my Pikachu or Bulbasaur or something) because she along with Di Yu, Cepha and St. Paulina are the main characters of the story mode after reading this manga ... went out to find Strawberry (I don't use 2 star girls) and saw her secretary notes... leveling her up now!

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.

Wow! SO it is Official/Canon... That's so cool, I now want Sakura and Mei in my team because of this... wish someone could translate this... It gives the characters more depth.
