February 28, 2018I am not going to rate it because I simply cannot read this...I got this from netgalley but graphics are so faint, it literally hurts my head, trying to read it. Also such a colorful cover but the entire book is black and white. Seriously publishers, if you are looking for ratings, at least try to make material readable. So disappointed...:(

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review!
I loved Vidia and the Fairy Crown, so when I spotted this one on Netgalley, well gee, I had to just request it. Well, after making absolutely sure there is no Tinker Hell in this one or at least not too much as the main character. It didn't seem she would be in here much (although she, like the Vidia book, is on the cover).
This volume is all about Petite and her life on Neverland. As her name already implies she is tiny. Tinier than most fairies even! And a whole lot more clumsier. Dear heavens, this girl gets in all sorts of things. Going by her looks (I know, terrible) you would think she is frilly, easygoing, flighty. But she really proves you wrong. She is on a mission to find her talent, to show it at the ceremony and become a full fairy. I am cheering for this girl! If there is anyone who deserves it, it is Petite!
In the first story it is time for her to discover her talent as the Moon Banquet is coming soon (well in half a year). I loved how this girl, even when her size puts her at a disadvantage just keeps on going.
I did feel sorry for her as everyone is pretty terrible and mean about her height and how clumsy she is. Come on guys, at least she tries, you don't have to act all poopy about it. :( I would have done the same thing as her after all that. But even though her fellow fairies acted like that she still did that for them. I admire that, not many people can set aside such terrible things like that (or think those people deserve to be saved).
The second story features a cat on the loose (I do wonder where it came from). I hated how the fairies acted towards the cat, even when Petite was trying to tell them the cat was harmless. Really, guys, maybe for once you should just listen to someone instead of attacking. I get that the cat did a lot of bad things, but it wasn't as if he did that on purpose. Come on, did you guys see how big he is? Even if he just paddles through the forest he is bound to break stuff.
The third story is her finding her talent! I really loved it. It was sweet, cute, plus of course I was just delighted for Petite. She worked so hard to find it, despaired so much, but now she is rewarded with an amazing talent. I just adored how everyone loved her talent, and how eager they are to see what she will do next. Plus thanks to Petite two people got a very happy ending. :)
The fourth story is a mix of the Moon Banquet and something that happens to Dill (and what Petite will do for him). Plus CONFESSION!!! *squee* It was all a whirlwind of awesomeness, especially near the end. I was just sitting on the edge of my seating, wishing with all my might. I actually have to confess that I almost cried. It was just so sweet!
I didn't quite like how the first two stories ended. Don't get me wrong, happy endings are <3, but it just felt highly out of place in these stories. There is such a build up, no one believes Petite or people doubt her, but then suddenly they believe her? Suddenly they love her? Whut?
I was pretty amazed at Tinker Hell, she was actually friendly and polite for once. *looks around* Did she take anything? :P Really, throughout the stories she shows kindness and she wasn't whining or complaining or being a total jerk about things (like she always did to Wendy and some other fairies).
Oh, and even though I didn't always like Dill, I was shipping him with Petite like crazy. *swoons* Even though Dill is a bit of a macho man at times, he always came to Petite and helped her out. Plus they just were a perfect match.
I also liked the Introducing The Fairy Friends at the end.
The art was just as fabulous as it was in the Vidia manga, though it was a whole lot more bubbly and less yandere. I just loved how Petite was drawn. Soft, bubbly, sweet, cute. Especially during the close-ups I was squeeing as she looked so beautiful.
All in all, I would recommend this manga to everyone. It is cute, sweet, has a good message (just keep on trying, just keep on going, you will find what you are looking for), plus who can resist a manga about the fairies on Neverland?

Zum Inhalt:
Disneys zauberhafte Feenwelten nun auch im Mangaformat! Puchi no Nikki (Das Tagebuch der kleinen Fee Puchi) erzählt die Abenteuer einer kleinen Fee, die Großes leisten will. Denn Puchi wäre gern eine so wunderbare und hübsche Fee wie Glöckchen, aber leider scheint bei ihr immer alles schiefzugehen … Doch Puchi gibt nicht auf! Schließlich hat sie viele Freunde, die ihr helfen und dann gibt es da auch noch einen ganz bestimmten Feenjungen, den es zu beeindrucken gilt.
Cover:
Für Fans von Disney ist das Cover wohl mehr als ansprechend. Nicht nur, dass die Farben einfach explosiv sind und einem regelrecht ins Auge springen auch bei der berühmten Fee Glöckchen bleibt man sofort hängen. Ein Manga in Zusammenarbeit mit Disney macht natürlich neugierig. Nicht zuletzt wegen der niedlichen Protagonistin Puchi, welche sich zu Glöckchen auf das Cover gesellt hat.
Eigener Eindruck:
In der Feenwelt hat jede Elfe ihre ganz bestimmte Aufgabe. Einmal im Jahr an einem ganz bestimmten Tag haben die Feen die Möglichkeit bei der Mondblume ihre Bestimmung festzulegen und diese für immer inne zu halten. Jede Fee scheint ganz genau zu wissen, was sie besonders gut kann, nur die kleine Fee Puchi tut sich schwer damit. Nicht nur, dass sie die kleinste Fee in der feenwelt ist und alles, was den großen Feen leicht fällt, scheinbar nie richtig gut meistern kann, Puchi nimmt auch jedes Fettnäpfchen mit, das sie kriegen kann. Dass Puchi dadurch sehr traurig ist, ist wohl kaum verwunderlich. Als es wieder einmal wegen ihr zu einer Katastrophe kommt, fliegt Puchi der Fee Glöckchen in die Arme, welche sogleich versucht die kleine Fee aufzumuntern. Frohen Mutes macht sich Puchi auf den Heimweg und entdeckt dann etwas, was ihre Heimat stark bedroht...
Puchi no Nikki ist wirklich ein ganz niedlicher Manga und hat mir sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Als One Shot liest er sich recht schnell und es gibt kein offenes Ende, da die Geschichte direkt abgeschlossen ist. Puchi als Charakter ist einfach zu niedlich. Man muss sie einfach mögen, auch wenn sie sehr tollpatschig ist. Trotzdem hat sie ein gutes Herz und versucht es allen recht zu machen oder zu helfen, wo es nur geht. Dass die anderen Feen sie zeitweise bei ihren Hilfsaktionen unterbuttern ist auf der einen Seite verständlich, aber auch gemein. Dadurch entwickelt man als Leser für sie einen richtigen Beschützerinstinkt. Die Zeichnungen des Mangas sind sehr niedlich anzusehen und machen einfach Spaß. Interessant ist hier die Mischung zwischen den typischen Mangaelementen und dem Charakterdesign von Glöckchen. So ein bisschen wirkt diese wie von einem anderen Stern zwischen den anderen Elfen, aber es hat seinen Reiz. Die Storyline an sich ist kurz, aber sehr gut erzählt und in sich abgeschlossen. Es gibt humorvolle und emotionale Szenen, die einfach Spaß machen. So muss ein richtig guter Manga sein!
Fazit:
Empfehlen möchte ich diesen Manga allen Freunden der Welt von Disney und jenen, die gern Geschichten über Feen und Elfen lesen. Dieser Manga ist einfach zuckersüß und sein Geld absolut wert!

I received a free copy of this thanks to Netgalley and Diamond Book Distributors. This is no way affected my review.
Publication Date: 12th December 2017
Review Date: 26th November 2017
This looks like a bit of a weird book to be reading, as a twenty year old, but I am constantly looking for books I can buy for my step-niece. Tokyopop releasing a manga about Tinkerbell and the faeries is something I immediately zoomed in on. Tokyopop have been one of my favourite manga publishers ever since I read Tokyo Babylon, so to find something like this I might be able to sit and share with my step-niece is short of a miracle for me.
Our main character is Petite, a fledgling faerie who is trying her best to blossom and bloom, to become a major faerie and find her talent. Along her journey, she finds the meaning of friendship, love and teamwork.
I absolutely adored this. This was short, it was simple and it was sweet. Tinkerbell is a well known faerie character, and although she wasn’t the main focus of the story, I think that adding her in as a side character to Petite was a really well thought out idea. The art work in this is absolutely wonderful, this is charming, and I read it so quickly. I would very happily read this again as a manga volume, and I can’t help but wonder if there’s more of this to come out. I hope there is, it’s absolutely wonderful.
For those who love manga, and are thinking about introducing younger children into it, this is a wonderful starting point. I will definitely be buying my step-niece this for Christmas, and I’m sure this book will be a point for her to get into manga, and hopefully be something she cherishes for a while.

I've been a fascinated with Diamond Books' cover artworks since I chanced upon copies of the Grimm Fairy Tales of Zenescope. The Grimm books portrayed women as bad ass characters which were beautifully drawn (although still rather too scantily dressed for me), and they Manga versions were just so cute and appealing, I didn't want to request any more books since my Netgalley stash has been piling up and never getting any smaller no matter how many times I said I'll trim it down, but I just couldn't pass up this book.
I love the Disney Fairies, and I was one of those sad grown-ups who wished they didn't stop producing the Tinkerbell movies. Anyway, I was glad to be introduced to Petite, since I do believe that Pixie Hollow is a vast world that could open up to so many different stories with an even more diverse set of characters' points-of-view whom the stories can be told through. And Petite's was definitely one worth reading.
I love how it show that no matter how insignificant you think you might be, people who love and care about you will show you otherwise. And that no matter how many times you fail, what matters most is that you try again. This is definitely something I'd like my daughter to read when she's of the right age. She's two at the moment so I have to wait for her to get a little older (and learn how to read) before I share this story with her.

I love Disney, manga, and fairies, so the new Disney Fairies Manga series is definitely right up my alley. Though I wasn't crazy about Vidia and the Fairy Crown, I saw that this upcoming edition to the series had a different author/artist so I decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did, as I liked this one better!
The characters are really cute, and so is the story. It's a feel-good type plot that goes to show that even if you're different, you're fine just the way you are, and in some ways, even better! I think that's a lesson that we all need to hear every once in a while.
I liked the artwork better as well. I found it more detailed, and it went very well with the words on the page.
I think this is a good book for pre-teens/kids who are just starting to get into graphic novels or manga, though if you're older than that you can still certainly enjoy this book.
I received a copy in exchange for my honest review.

As always, the stories are fun and draw you right in, the characters feel very individualized, and the pictures are great quality.
In one story, however, Petite (didn't really stretch too much to think that one up) is clumsy because of her tiny size. Isn't it usually big people/animals with the reputation for clumsiness? Since when are tiny people clumsy? But wait. In another story, an oversized cat is clumsy, also because of his size. So there's a bit of a mixed message there. But hey, it's manga, I guess, not War and Peace.

Das hat mir gefallen!
Ich mag die Zeichentrickfilme über Naseweis, die Disney produziert hat: die Zeichnungen sind so toll! Als ich von diesem Manga erfahren hat, habe ich es gekauft und ich bin damit zufrieden.
Die Hauptfigur ist nicht Naseweis, sondern Puchi, eine Fee, die ihr Talent noch nicht gefunden hat. Sie versucht viele Dinge aber es scheint aus, dass sie nichts machen kann. Aber ja, am Ende glaube ich, dass ihr Talent sehr schön ist.
Die Zeichnungen sind OK: zart und rund, wie ich sie mag.

I started reading this series on a whim because of my kindle unlimited subscription. They are really quick and easy reads. Definitely a book type with content I’m not used to. Solid read.
