incredible story.i loved it, every part of it from the begin until the end...the story's simple fascinating.

Wow! well put out.

I had planned on reviewing the first chapter. After finishing it though, I found that I couldn't stop reading and take the time to write a review. It became that way for every single chapter afterwords. Going to bed at 3 in the morning everyday to read a little more of this story kept me brain-dead, but I pushed on.

In the end, it was worth it.

I'm amazed at the effort put into this story, and especially since these two aren't main characters at all in Strawberry Panic.

In fact, I'd wager that this is the only 76 chapter story in Strawberry Panic fanfiction.

Astounding statistics aside, the content inside is like the stuffing of a crepe. So unbelievably good. The characterization of everyone, not just Kaname and Momomi, was so interesting and amazing that I could imagine watching an entire season of a side story of Strawberry Panic based on this fanfiction.

There are so many more things I could say, but I'll leave it at this: Astraea Lake is one of the hidden gems of the fanfiction universe. You definitely need more reviews for this. :D

I loved this story! I just finished it and crave for more ;_; XD I never really though about Kaname or Momomi before and just saw them as background characters but now they are epic beyond belief.

The ending was a bit, well not excatly my type of ending, though it works in some way, I wished I could of read about how the play went first before it ended :/ though bravo for pulling it through! Very depressing when people give up -Im one of them XD-

I loved the depth and emotion you flickered between the two characters, when I read this story it always left a smile on my face :) I copied it all onto my computer so I could read it offline in the computer in my room: One of the best fanfictions, I've read on here, I hope I can read more of your stories! ;D Keep up the good work

awesome story! i just finished reading all 76 chapters. i began reading this story purely as a strawberry panic fan and not as a kanamomo one. however, due to the length of the story, i could tell that there was a lot of effort put into it, and i figured i at least owe the author that much by giving it a shot. you put an interesting spin on the characters by giving us a sense of understanding and sympathy, while remaining very true to their nature. the pace at which they grew was fascinating to follow, and all the characters you added in seemed very natural and authentic. i especially liked olesa (go starcraft D). though i admit i was fairly disappointed with the ending, there were a lot of loose ends :( such as, a farewell scene with amiki/olesa, how the play turned out, resolving the conflict with amane's friend..

however, unfortunate as that may be, this was one of the best strawberry panic fanfics i've ever read. i look forward to your future work.

Again amazing character depth and as before filled in for two characters that the anime breezed over...I have a much healthier viewpoint of KanaMomo after that even with all the angst and inevitable friction ebtween the pair. Probably because it was filling up to the events in the anime in part but the plot wasn't as dynamic/captivating as the Mai Hime...I think the idea of explaining the anime in light of the 2nd year etc would have tied things up a little neater and the first chapter (post anime) jumping back to 2nd year in Chapter 2 was a little confusing. But definitely enjoyable...I feel like I'm getting a valuable source of inspiration in peoples thoughts, philosphy and character perception when I read your stories so a big thanks!

I didn't exactly like that way it ended. It doesn't explain much about what happened and left it a little hazy for me. But then again it leaves things open for the imagination. I just wonder whether or not I won't have withdrawls about this story. I loved it so much ;-; And Now I've finished. I'm starting on your next story of course, but it's not the same. You are a great writer. I would love it if you turned out more stories about the two characters, but I'm sure you'll do magic with anything you write. I love Strawberry Panic, but I found a better appreciation of the two of them so much more now that I've read this. Kaname Kenjou is my favorite character. Kudos big time for this story. Please write another Strawberry Panic Story!

I loved this story. But it did take me quite long to review. As of date, I've reread this twice or thrice even though it is so LONG! Lestaki, you're BRILLIANT! I loved the way you develop the characters of Kaname and Momomi. It is very deep and humorous, even though I always got lost together with the characters' thoughts. It was kind of a sad thing that it ended. I would love this to go on, after all, you can't get too much of a good thing right?

I hope to get to read more of your stories. Perhaps you can start another? )

OMG! I printed out this entire story To read it when I'm not on the computer. I printed it all out so I wouldn't have to wait for anything out of complete desire to read it. I've stayed up numerous nights all night just to read this story. I freaking love it. It's so well put together and I can't imagine how proud you are of it. I swear that if I get to know anyone in the publishing business I'll refer you to them in an instant. I'm currently on chapter 40 and can't wait to read the next part. I know for a fact that I'll be up late tonight reading as much as I can. And The HUMOR. Omg you are a freaking genius xD. If you owned Strawberry Panic I would own every copy of the dvds. I can't wait to finish this one and then start on your next story about Mai Hime. And then Kannazuki no Miko. Gosh I can't Wait. But look at me I'm rambling I'm sorry. But I do have to mention how my mom wants to glare at you a little, Cause We'll be sitting in the living room her on the computer and me in the recliner reading and I'll bust out laughing and she gets so annoyed. I would love to meet you or at least talk to you. I think it would be my dream omg. I'm such a huge fan it's ridiculous. xDD Okay okay I'm almost writing a page. Shutting up now. Keep up the great Story writing. I LOVE IT! :]

ok so I just finished chapter 19. When are momomi and kaname going to confess their for each other. It's very irritating. Not that this story isnt good. Because it is. The most well put together story I've ever read on fanfiction. Still. I very want this moment to happen and I just want to know how much longer it will take me to get there.

You can emial me at (and yes my obsession is quite apparent)

Wow. Very well done...

That's all I can really say, to be honest.

Well done.

Shit, you must have done this story like two chapters a day or something. Damn. This story is long and awesome. It is an epic FTW.

one of the best stories i've read so far. well-written, charming and witty lines, great story flow. love it.

thank you for making an enjoyable fic. more power to you. _

It has certainly been a journey, finishing "Astrea Lake". This is one of the longest and enjoyable fanfiction that I have read thus far. Hence, thank you, for spending great time and effort in planning out such a fic and seeing through it till the end :)

I liked how you have mnaged to develop the complex personalities of both Kaname and Momomi, not only through their interaction with each other, but also with the other OCs in the fic, who have been bestowed intricate and complicated personalities. They have certainly not been sidelined despite being "side characters".

I am awed by the amount of thought put into "Astrea Lake",and this makes it seem as though "Strawberry Panic" was just merely child's play! Since chapter 76 signals the end of this wonderful piece of work, it also means that i shan't have to keep late nights to catch up with any more chapters ;)

Alright, back on track now. :)

-“Hey! Why does she get to be a ‘chan’? I’m not the only violent tomboy here!”- Heheheheh...

Shion the spy is... well, decidedly creepy, that's for sure. She kinda reminds me of a Ferengi in that respect (the mentality, not the looks) : Always know about your customers before they walk through your door.

As for Koike, well, she gets more devious/annoying every line she has in the story, especially the 'teenage fickle love'-thing. Let's see what the Duo has in store for her. :)

Looks like Koike has her own agenda (duh), but investing her time in Amane? Poor girl doesn't have a hope...
