Summary: The Best!!!!
Review: Ever since I was in the 5th grade, I've been into Japanese comics. I've read bunches of manga books but out of all of them I think the entire PEACH GIRL series are the most interesting books. The whole series has a awesome plot. Miwa Ueda is a genuis! 100% worth buying!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shoujo At Its Finest!
Review: The first time I read Peach Girl, it was a featured manga in the monthly magazine, 'Smile'. I intentionally bought it to read Sailor Moon Stars, but it didnt take me long to become captivated by the simple yet wonderful story of Momo, the love-strucken and misunderstood girl, just trying to get through high-school.
Manga(Japanese comic)stories which focus around the toils and troubles of young girls are common (known as shoujo)in Japan. Any manga fans might say, 'What's so good about Peach Girl, how is it better from other shoujo stories?'
The difference is, the characters in Peach Girl are very believable. Everyone has a fave, whether it be the naive yet headstrong Momo, Sae the scheming 'friend' who wants to destroy Momo, Kiley- the lovable bishonen (pretty boy) who cares deeply for Momo while providing comic relief, or, Toji- Momo's crush since Junior High who is shy and gullable but willing to protect Momo at all costs.
The Peach Girl manga has the ability to make you laugh and cry (not ashamed to say on several occassions!). The situations, characters and settings are so realistic, and easy to relate to it is impossible not to become addicted. Once you pick it up, you'll be begging for more by the end of the chapter.

Another suggestion I would make to any Peach readers is, once you have read the manga, try to obtain the Live Action Taiwanese TV show (Mi Tao Nu Hai). There is no anime of Peach Girl, but the Live Action provides just as much satisfaction, if not more. It has been commented that Peach Girl relies on realism so much, to turn it into a cartoon would be an injustice, live action works better therefore.

Peach Girl won the 1998 Kodansha Manga award (highly prestigious in Japan). The storyline, characters and outstanding artwork all contend to the reason why.
Read this manga, and discover a whole new obsession!
Props to Miwa Ueda! ^_^

Summary: OOOO! Sae is up to no good!
Review: Wow! This was a shocking volume. I can't believe what happened. I don't want to spoil it for you but you should read on if your a Peach Girl Fan! Things that happened here is stuff that you might not have imagined and well, it's really good and I wish Momo gets what she wants in the end.
