GUSHING with drama yo I definitely recommend

Cute and funny...

Peach Girl is an odd concept really, I mean we're following the love escapades of a girl whom is naturally blonde and tan in a world where everyone has dark hair and non-tan skin haha(Unless they fake'n'bake). Momo can't help it, she hates the way she looks. Now in the U.S. someone like Momo would be considered an absolute babe, but obviously in Asia, they have different standards of beauty. So in this volume Momo has to deal with a backstabbing friend whom copies everything she does and tries to steals all the guys from Momo's life. Any guy that seems to take interest in Momo or/and that Momo likes. All Momo wants to do is look normal and get some friends who are'nt total (...) and because Momo is so insecure about the way she looks she doesn't realize all the guys that like her. its kind of fun to get some insight into the life of the "hot" girl. All girls are insecure about the way they look, especially the ones we consider hot. Of course "Peach Girl" isn't deep, its a whole LOT OF FLUFFY SHOUJO!!! If you like fluffy shoujo then you'll love Peach Girl no doubt.! God Bless & *enjoy* ~Amy

Peach Power!!!!

This book is the third in the Manga series of Peach Girl. Sae, Momo's supposed friend, is finally ratted out for her sneaky ways. All the lies that Sae said about Momo are finally seen by Toji( Momo's ex-boyfriend) and now Toji, realizing his mistake, wants to get back with Momo, but will Momo want to get back together? That's just some of the drama that goes on in this series. If your new to the series, you should get the first volume, otherwise your missing a great story, and secondly, you would be missing quite a bit of dialogue. The artwork is different, but still gorgeous, I would rank it up there with Sailor Moon. This series kind of reminds me of the older 90210 show(but a lot better, and not as mature). So if your kind of tired of all the magical Manga, and just want to read something a little more realistic. THIS IS THE SERIES TO GET!!! Trust me, you won't regret it.

Can't wait for Peach Girl #4!!!! (>^.^<)

I am so glad that Sae was finally discovered. Though I did hate that Momo is not getting back together w/ Toji. I know that they will end up together again. You will like this if you liked the first 2. Keeps you into it and you just can't put it down. Can't wait for PG #4!!!

Peachy Keen!

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?!

I love Peach Girl!

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!
