A shoujo manga, by Miwa Ueda, about a high school love
triangle. It concerns the travails of Momo Adachi (Momo is the
Japanese word for peach). Momo is a high school girl who
tans very easily, and has light hair which everyone thinks is
bleached, so people assume that she's a beach bunny, a party
girl, or even a prostitute... Since junior high she's had a
crush on Kazuya Tojigamori (Toji), whom she once overheard saying
that he would never date a girl with skin darker than his. (Poor
Momo!)
But this isn't the end of Momo's problems. Her "best friend", Sae Sasaki, tries to
imitate/steal everything that Momo has/does. To keep Sae from
going after Toji, Momo pretends that her crush is actually Kiley
Okayasu, the high school playboy. Unfortunately, Kiley not only
becomes aware of Momo, but decides he wants to date her. And then
things get even more complicated. ;-)
Peach Girl was originally published in Japan by Kodansha in the
monthly monthly Bessatsu Friend magazine. It is published in
English by Mixx Entertainment.
