Peach Girl
Peach Girl is a shoujo manga based on Momo, a cute girl who has a bad
reputation. Since she looks like a "beach-bunny" people
automatically assume she's some airhead. Actually, Momo isn't a
"party animal" and doesn't go to tanning salons or anything
like that. A few minutes in the sun and Momo is completely tanned.
One boy at school knows Momo is a good girl, Toji. Toji is the boy
Momo has a crush on. This seems like a pretty normal situation,
except Momo has to put up with the devil. That is, her friend, Sae
(who makes Momo's life miserable.)
This manga is really easy to relate to. Not everybody has the perfect
high school experience. The characters were really interesting. I
found myself sharing in their emotions. (Especially when they were
angry at Sae. ^^)
It was created by Miwa Ueda. It has been published in TokyoPop in
English. It's 15 volumes long. I don't believe an anime series has
been made of this.
There are some mature themes (a lot of old guys come on to Momo and
similar situations). It should be okay for 13+. |
