Little Fluffy Gigolo Pelu [Paperback]

Junko Mizuno (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2009

Pelu, the Little Fluffy Playboy, is comic tale of a cute extraterrestrial creature that comes to Earth determined to find himself true happiness in the form of a human bride. Our hero's search takes him from the surface of his fantastic alien planet to an off-kilter modern Japan where Pelu meets aspiring singers, sassy girls, paint-sniffing bad boys, and the body-switching students of a mysterious high school. Artist Junko Mizuno unleashes her unique graphic storytelling sensibilities on a tale that's frequently adorable, sometimes grotesque, and surprisingly moving.

If you're a Junko Mizuno fan and you've loved her other works then you probably already own this! If not, get it asap! The book itself is much bigger than the Cinderalla, Princess Mermaid, and Hansel and Gretel book. It similar in size to the Pure Trance book.

It contains the story of our hero Pelu, his origins and home planet, and all the people and relationships he discovers during his time on earth. He meets beautiful damsels in distress from a singer, to a deep sea diver, to two students. That's all I'm gonna say!

The story is spread across 5 chapters. The book is 168 pages of pure Junko Mizuno goodness! The best part? The book says Vol.1 on it! Which means we Junko fans can look forward for more to come!

I'm not gonna give a review so much as a plea that Last Gasp doesn't drop the ball on this and they actually release the second and third volumes. If they never release the rest of the books, this story will never be complete for Junko's english reading audience, which by my accounts, is bigger than her fan base in Japan.

I really love Junko Mizuno's work. I really wish I could afford her original artwork. But, for now I have to say, I am still happy collecting her books. I can't wait until Vol. 2 comes out! I think the first review summarize the story really well, I just want to give another great review. This story really made me giggle.
