Description
From Tokyopop: Lonely nine-year-old Amanda Keller has persuaded her mother to let her buy a pet! But instead of a dog or cat, Amanda makes a daring decision and comes home with a sleepy little ferret she names Peach.
The arrival of Peach throws a monkey wrench into the previously ordered existence of the Keller household. Peach believes herself to be royalty, since she was worshipped by the ferrets at the pet store. But now Peach lives in fear of Amanda's hands—or as she sees them, the dreaded Handra monster! And her only means of defending herself is to bite!
Nevertheless, when we last left Peach and Amanda, they were able to put aside their differences and call a truce. But Peach is about to discover the world of terror known as Show and Tell...and meet a ferret even more bossy and conceited than she is! Will Princess Peach finally be put in her place?
I really love this OEL manga! It has such a nice storyline and really cute loveable characters! I first read this manga in 2006 when I was 13 and now it is 2011 and I am 19 and I still love this series! I hope a new volume will come out soon! The artist of Peach Fuzz Lindsay Cibos has an account on Deviantart and she is really nice and sweet!
One of the few OEL that I actually like during the early TokyoPop Rising Stars. It's cute and I do like the ferrat's point of view of the human's hands. Target is toward young children, but I'm sure teenagers will like it too if they are looking for something cute and comedy.
Although it feels mildly japanophilic to say it, most OELs really suck. I don't have any idea why it is, but for some reason growing up in the country where comic books originated seems to equal mediocrity at creating the Japanese version. Peach Fuzz is a comforting aversion of this. The art is very nice, looking better than a fair amount of Japanese and Korean shoujo, as is the lovely toning. The storyline is also adorable and interesting, although not entirely original - this is basically the same as the original Hamtaro manga, but with Hamtaro as a bitchy female ferret.
Except that it's better. While Hamtaro was substance-less fluff intended for nothing other than being cute, Peach Fuzz is creative, emotional, and suspenseful - and cute. I applaud Hodges and Cibos for proving that a manga drawn on this side of the planet can really be good.
