Based on the reader participation project of the same name. In addition to the 12 main heroines from the reader participation planning era, this is a love story about the representatives of the three schools, "Etoile," by a large number of characters. Since the content and world view are different from the original and "Revised Strawberry Panic!", It can be said that the relationship between these two works and this novel is a parallel world.

Nagisa, a normal and cheerful high school student, is stunned when she meets Shizuma, the school’s top student, whose beauty takes her breath away.

Meanwhile, Shizuma Hanazono, the sole Etoile of Astraea Hill, finds herself drawn to this new, exciting transfer student.
