Episode synopsis
Nagisa is shown around the Strawberry Dorms by Tamao and two of their classmates, during which time Nagisa is surprised by Shizuma yet again, who continues to make advances; Nagisa realizes that she finds herself unable to move whenever Shizuma gazes at her. Shizuma retreats to avoid members of the student council. Later, Nagisa accidentally bursts into a student council presidents’ meeting in the midst of an argument over the Etoile’s continued absence. Lulim's student council president, Chikaru Minamoto, tells Nagisa that her interruption was a relief because it ended the argument regarding Shizuma’s absence early. She explains some responsibilities of the Etoile that Shizuma is shirking as well as some major differences between the three schools, explaining arguments between the other student council presidents.
About Strawberry Panic
Nagisa Aoi is a new transfer student into one of the three prestigious all-girls Catholic high schools on Astraea Hill: a school called St. Miator (the other two are St. Spica and St. Lelim (known in the anime as Le Rim, for some reason). While getting totally lost on her first day, she stumbles into a clearing with a tree, and also into a girl with long silver hair. Nagisa is immediately smitten with the girl, Shizuma Hanazono, otherwise known as the Etoile of the three schools (the most idolized girl). Shizuma, after picking up a figurine dropped by Nagisa, kisses her on the forehead, leading to Nagisa fainting. After waking up in the school's infirmary, Nagisa then meets her new roommate, Tamao Suzumi. Things, however, will be getting a lot more complicated for the new student than just that.
