Summary: Peachy Keen!
Review: Momo Adachi is a young Japanese school-girl with a light problem: She's dark. In her area, those wuth dark skin (and in Momo's case, light hair) are frowned upon and refered to as "Beach Bunnies". It doesn't help Momo's situation any that her "friend", Sae, is trying to steal anything that Momo holds dear... Such as her crush-since-Junior-High, Toji. The only OTHER thing stopping Momo from going after Toji is that he only likes light-skinned girls... Or so it appears. Oh, and THEN poor Momo's got to deal with Kiley Okayasu, the school's biggest playboy who seems to have a "thing" for his "Sweet Peach", and doesn't have any problems showing it! What's a girl to do?!

Summary: Peaches and Cream!
Review: Momo Adachi is a teenage girl who is desperately trying to overcome what her outside appearance suggests and win the boy she's crazy for! To clarify, Momo ("peach" in Japanese) lives in an area where only pale girls are considered beautiful and innocent. Those with tan skin are stamped with the derogatory title of "beach bunny" and are viewed by society as easy party girls. Momo's problem is that she tans so easily and with light hair that everyone assumes is bleached, she fits the physical description perfectly! However, Momo is anything but the beach bunny her looks make her out to be. Shy and pretty, Momo tries desperately to lighten her skin with sunblocks and look like the girl she feels like inside. Only one boy seems to understand that Momo isn't what she seems--Toji. Toji is also Momo's love interest, and readers will grow to love him as much as she does! Of course, just when it seems like Momo might have Toji for her own, Sae--Momo's jealous "friend"--makes plans to make sure that doesn't happen!This is a good MANGA series! Any female reader would be finding herself eagar to turn the pages!

Review: Peach Girl is one of my favorite manga series! I first read it in SMILE magazine. It is a story about a high-school girl named Momo (Peach in japanese- hence, "Peach Girl"). Where Momo lives, only bad girls have tans, and Momo tans way too easily! This causes her to be insecure, because people think she is a bad person who only parties all the time, when she is really a girl who is very shy and nice. Her "friend" is Sae, who wants anything that Momo does, including the boy Momo likes! Poor Momo. Will she ever get to be with the boy she likes? Read Peach Girl to find out!

Summary: Really cute
Review: I used to read Sweet Valley High in junior high school and I picked this up because the drawings caught my eye. It seems like an illustrated Sweet Valley high sometimes, but that's okay. When I look back, those books were actually decent for kids to read because although they did take a kind of dramatic soap opera type form, the characters did usually do the right thing and they respected themselves and their bodies. Elizabeth and Jessica never ran around sleeping with everyone in sight, or with anyone, actually. So they were decent bubble gum type role models. This book seems to take a similar attitude towards such things, although it looks at [physical attraction]in a sometimes different way, it's hard to say exactly how. It's a cultural thing, I think.
Anyways, It's really amusing. I love it when the comics take really ridiculously comic form, like when Sae is throwing herself at Toji (she goes to such lengths as to trip him in the hallway with a wire and stuff). Sometimes Sae turns into a paper doll and sometimes Sae develops road runner legs when she's running after Toji or someone else and I find that hilarious. When the characters are drawn realistically, they are drawn well. Momo has huge eyes and vulnerable facial expressions that are just adorable, and as much care is taken with the guys. I thought Goro was especially well drawn, even though he is [not popular].
