| Konichiwa Minna!!
Peach Girl, copyright 1998 to Miwa Ueda. Original Japanese version first published by Kodansha Ltd. 1998. Artwork reversed for English edition. English text copyrigh 2000 to Mixx Entertainment, Inc. Peach girl is a manga written by Miwa Ueda, originally published in Japanese 1998. Now it is being published in English by Mixx Entertainment/Tokyo Pop in a girl's comic called Smile. If you really enjoy the series I highly recommend getting a subscription to this magazine!!! There are about 10 issues every year and a subscription is about $29.00. They have recently re-formatted the magazine, and now it is almost 99% manga. (It used to have a lot of other stuff like ads and advise columns, but they have been taken out) Smile is featuring 4 mangas right now: Sailor Moon Super S by Naoko Takeuchi, Peach Girl, Clover by Clamp, and Juline by Narumi Kakinouchi. They are all great stories! If you are interested in ordering copies of the magazine or a subscription you can find them on-line at www.tokyopop.com Now Smile has 3 new mangas other than Peach Girl. The first is called Planet Ladder, which I havn't been able to get into yet. The second and newest is called Paradise Kiss and it is about a group of very eccentric fashion designers in Japan and their model. So far there have only been a few episodes, but I kinda like it. It is different but funny and touching. The third and by far my favorite.... (maybe even more than Peach Girl) is called Mars. It is about a very shy young girl by the name of Kira and a boy by the name of Rei *sigh* (Rei has beautiful expressive eyes.....) Rei is kinda a bad boy, but the two make a perfect couple. *sigh* Don't bother asking me to post pictures from this series, if I was going to do it I would want to do it right and I just don't have the time to do both. I will try to post some pictures from time to time. With the manga that Smile has now I really really really recommend getting a subscription!!!!! 03/21/02 UPDATE Wow, I can't believe it is over a year since my last update. I know I can't apologize enough for taking so long. I appreciated all of hte offers from different folks to help with the page, but I knew that I wanted to keep doing it, it was just a matter of finding the time. Lots have been going on in my life in the last year. I got totally burned out at my last job, moved, bought a house, went to Japan for a couple of weeks with my bestest Dorobo Megami friend Simone!!!!! HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGS to you if you ever read this ^_^ We ahd a wonderful time. I will try to post some pictures from the trip here soon. 1/28/01 UPDATE!!! I just got a letter from a very nice gentleman at Tokyo Pop, it it he stated that they were in the process of putting together a page on their web site just for Peach Girl!!! I am not sure when it will be up, but if you get a chance I recommend that you take a look!!! I will let you know if I hear anything new ^__________^ 11/17/00 UPDATE!!! I just got a letter from Tokyo Pop stating that they were no longer going to publish Tokyo Pop. I am unsure if they are still going to put out Smile or not, but I will keep you updated if I hear anything. They will still have their website though, so you can go check it out for some really neat stuff. I do know that Amazon.com has the graphic novel listed for Peach Girl! If you like the series I highly recommend that you buy it for yourself, trust me, my scans don't even begin to come close to doing it justice! I think that the graphic novel will have about 5, possibly 6 chapters in it, so at this point you may be ahead of the magazine publication if you buy it. |
