I saw that the premiums were discussing Peach Girl, but I thought I'd let everybody talk about it, it's such a good manga. I only got to read the first half of it, sort of... it was in Japanese, and I had some pretty iffy translations. But thanks to the illustrations, most of the story got through, and I was impressed! The story and characters are complex, and the art is so pretty... But this isn't your typical love story, or even your typical love triangle! Things get *mean* at points, and you follow the roller-coaster ups and downs of teenage emotions. It was actually made into a live-action soap opera in Japan! Anybody else out there read it?
