Heading into the endgame, I guess! It's been a while since I read these--fifteen years or more (what?!)--so I didn't remember a lot of the details. As usual, it's over the top, everybody with the possible exception of Sae is an utter fool... and a combination of machination, coincidence, and gormlessness keeps the drama-bus going until its next stop.

(stejná recenze u všech dílů)

Moc pěkná kresba, která se s každým volumkem zlepšovala. Jen se mi zdálo, že se někde v polovině změnily boty a trochu školní uniforma. Ale to je jen takový malý detail.

Zajímalo by mě, co měly naznačovat ty kresby na konci každé kapitoly. Momo na nich vypadala jako modelka, díky tomu vkusnému a draze vypadajícímu oblečení. Zprvu jsem si myslela, že to mají být nápovědy o tom, co se bude dít dál, ale vyšlo najevo, že s příběhem nijak nesouvisí. Což ze začátku vůbec nebylo jasná, takže mě to několik volumek hrozně mátlo.

Hlavní hrdinku Momo jsem ze začátku měla poměrně ráda, ale postupně se moje sympatie k ní pomalu mizely. Avšak mizely jen po krátkou dobu a můj vztah k ní byl stále mírně pozitivní. Obdivovala jsem ji za některá z jejich rozhodnutích a za to, jak zvládala nátlak od okolí. Někdy od čtvrtiny příběhu jsem ji najednou nechápala, dokonce jsem se nemohla dobrat k tomu, abych jí odpustila její činy, přestože tam byla zmínka o tom, že jí samotné přijde její chování divné.

Sae jsem nesnášela. Ze začátku to měla podle mě autorka v úmyslu, pak její chování začala omlouvat a my jsme jí měli odpustit. Pořád ale dělala špatné věci, díky kterým jsem ji nesnášela čím dál více. Úplně na konci se sice najednou chovala hrozně hezky, a dokonce pomáhala hlavní hrdince a ostatním. Dokonce i když udělala pár dobrých skutků, tak jsem jí nemohla odpustit, jelikož mi to nepřišlo uvěřitelné, aby se takhle zčistajasna změnila.

Příběh mě stále docela bavil i přesto, že tam byli krávoviny, které mě hrozně štvaly. A nepochopila jsem Momino přecházení od jednoho kluka ke druhému, protože to bylo kvůli prkotinám. Jako když se to stalo poprvé dalo se to poměrně dobře pochopit, ke všemu když to bylo i na delší dobu.

Žádnému z kluků jsem nefandila, neboť mi ani jeden nepřišel sympatický či aspoň dostačující. I když jsem asi měla radši Tojiho, jelikož to byla Momina první láska a zároveň mi to aspoň připadalo trochu opravdové.

Nečekala jsem, že tu budou i nějaké temné věci, které mě přinutí cítit znechucení nad lidstvem ( je ale fakt, že u mě to jde celkem snadno :D). Ale nevím, jestli je to plus či mínus, protože mi to nepřišlo moc uvěřitelné. Stejně jako to počáteční šikanování Momo. Ze začátku jak ji všichni nemají rádi, ale pak se najednou objeví holky, které řeknou, že za vše vždy může Sae, začnou se k ní všichni chovat hrozně mile a k Sae ošklivě. A to při tom od začátku věděli, kdo je k tomu podněcuje.

Obálky se mi nelíbí. Musím ale přiznat, že některé trochu dobře vypadají. Stále nechápu, proč tam Momo vypadá jako modelka. Myslím kvůli tomu oblečení a pózám.

We're in the last half of Change of Heart; and here comes the drama! Kiley decides to break up with Momo since he truly has feelings for Misao. After encouragement from both Momo and Sae, he decides to open up to Misao about his true feelings and he's immediately rejected. Devastated, he tells Momo that he doesn't want to take her back just yet as it wouldn't be fair. Instead, Kiley decides he's going on a sabbatical to think things over and move on from Misao properly. He decides to just walk until he can't anymore and ends up hitting some bad luck at a Soba restaurant. The chef takes him under his wing and gives him advice on his love life. However, he gets very sick and ends up in a fever induced sleeped. Momo is not fairing too well on her own, she's pining over her lost love staring endlessly at her phone waiting for a message that won't come. Sae is scheming again and manages to get Toji a job at the market with Momo so the two are forced to work together again. The volume ends with the two watching fireworks and Toji suggested they actually start over again if Kiley doesn't meet her at the designated place.

*3.5*

Is it bad that I don't feel sorry for Kairi, after he got rejected by Misao? It's really only a fraction of the pain that he put Momo through, so it makes it difficult for me to have sympathy. I am happy that he's doing the right thing, trying to sort out his feelings so he won't hurt Momo even more in the future by being wishy-washy.

I've never wanted to hug Sae more than I do right now, she actually attempted to fix the horrible thing she did to Toji and Momo (well, the other horrible thing). I'm super happy that Momo finally knows the truth, and that Toji is really and truly trying to win her heart again. Maybe that will give Kairi enough oomph to profess his undying love to Momo.

Trigger Warning for mention of rape, blackmail.

Volume 14 has so much I love. More Kiley being true to his feelings and having a journey. Momo being in love but also struggling with her feelings over Toji. The big secret of Toji/Sae.

Kiley is my ship for Momo and I wish Toji would just...go away. You had your chance, dude. I know the next volume is gonna give me the real hard feels, so I am prepared!

Please read Peach Girl with caution due to it's triggering content. There's sexual assault and rape, emotional and mental abuse, minors engaging in sex work, assault, and some blood. Skip the series if any of these topics cause harm to you.

[Miss Ryoko · Rating 3 out of 5]

Better than the last volume. I actually really want Momo and Toji to get back together. Kiley is my favorite character, but I always felt as if they'd be a better best friends match. But that's just me. And if Ueda-san kills him off, I'm going to be extra mad

[Noel نوال · Rating 3 out of 5]

Oh boy... Kiley's gotta travel across Japan to find himself. Meanwhile Toji is shooting his shot with Kiley out of the picture.
Dare I say another love triangle scenario has arrived?
Like why? Just why?

[Noelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kiley is really starting to anger me. The Misao crush is annoying and it’s not a possible relationship. He’s afraid of hurting himself and Momo, but that also makes him a coward. I really like him, but I’m tired of him dragging Momo down and continuing to fall for hearsay. Good book as usual.

Ooh the drama. Tho if momo gets back together with toji I will riot

Ça commence à se bouger et démêler les choses en vue de la fin qui approche. Même si j'ai eu envie de secouer des personnages, au moins on voit une certaine évolution.

[Jillian · Rating 3 out of 5]

Finally a volume that isn’t absolutely insane

[Mimi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Teenagers making sensible decissions in their love life... yeah right. Totally believable.
The story's rather sweet in this volume.

[Lauren · Rating 5 out of 5]

Story: The perfect thing about this series is that it is a potential real life situation. There is bullying from the other people at school and misunderstandings set into a high school setting. This series is absolutely perfect for someone to read when they are that age and to realize that many people can make mistakes or take something the wrong way, especially in regards to relationships. There is a quite potent love triangle between Momo, a girl that gets bullied by others, Kairi (Kiley), a flirt of a guy, and Toji, a guy that is easily blindsided. It does not help anything that there is the slightly evil character of Sae that is always trying to get in Momo's way.

Drawing Style: One of my favorite things about the art style of Miwa UEDA is that she changes up the characters. Especially Momo, she always wears different clothing and has a different style of hair that is rarely seen in anime or manga.

Characters: The characters are highly in depth and developed throughout the series. They are all multi-dimensional with underlying reasons for how they come across and serious back stories that add to the series.

Overall: This is one of my favorite series by far, exceeding all of my previous expectations and blowing me away with the quality of production.

Note: This review was completed after reading volumes 1-18.

I love this new Sae! She's still up with her shenanigans, but at least now she means well.

I know that Toji was also a victim when he had to break up with momo but lmao he really should've TALKED TO HER way back then. I'm sure she'd understand the situation.

Also I feel so bad for Kairi...

This entire story is so melodramatic and normally I HATE that kind of stuff but Peach Girl is just... the only exception, I guess lol

[Starbubbles · Rating 5 out of 5]

oh, the plot thickens in such a dramatic way. as kiley sorts through feelings, momo "discovers" the truth about what happened with toji and feelings get muddled in the process. it just revitalizes the addictive quality this series sometimes takes on.

[Nikki Kelly · Rating 4 out of 5]

A cute story with cute art. It was a bit too teenage-drama-ish for me, but still an amusing read.
