4.0 out of 5 stars
Better than what I thought it would be., December 31, 2004
This review is from: Peach Fuzz, Vol. 1 (v. 1) (Paperback)
This is a really neat book! It shows you the world through different perspectives; the eyes of a little girl, the eyes of a small animal, even through the eyes of a single mother... all without being condescending.
Even though the book is aimed at girls and pet-owners, I felt this can be enjoyed by just about anyone who likes comedy and quirky stories. I myself am a grown man who's allergic to animals, and I had a fun time reading this book!
It's almost like a bizarre Twilight Zone episode at times, where a cute stuffed doll can be depicted as a horrible monster with fangs & claws. In fact, the book manages to touch on topics like death, social status, pride, financial trouble, betrayal, and even fighting for survival, all while being very funny and surprisingly adorable. Very strange, very unique.
For a book to touch on real world issues that every child should learn about, and still be entertaining for the rest of us, is a really neat thing. I think if you give Peach Fuzz a chance, you'll be pleasantly surprised at what a fun & unusual book this is.

Cute And Fun!, April 6, 2005
This review is from: Peach Fuzz, Vol. 1 (v. 1) (Paperback)
Peach Fuzz is a cute manga about a nine-year old girl named Amanda Keller. Her single mother doesn't have much time to spend with her, and, after lots of begging and pleading, agrees to let Amanda get a pet. But there is one big rule: The pet absolutely can't bite Amanda.
Amanda spots the ferrets and is instantly smitten. She tries to pick them up, but they all bite her. All except one. Amanda chooses the nice one and names her Peach.
Peach, who is really the Princess of the Ferrets, causes all kinds of problems for Amanda. She sees her cage as a dungeon, and Amanda's hand as a horrible, five-headed monster called a Handra.
Overall, Peach Fuzz was very cute, fun and well drawn. It was cool to see a manga by an American author and artist.
I think Peach Fuzz is aimed toward younger kids, but I'm twelve and loved it just the same. It is probably my favorite manga. It has a good mix of drama, fun, action and humor all together. I can't wait for Volume 2! ^____^
