Peach Girl Authentic Volume 5

Momo wakes up in a hotel room to find herself naked and with a man...and not just any man (certainly not her own man Toji), it's Goro, beautiful boy, model, and boyfriend of Sae...and it looks like he's gone all the way with her. As if being taken advantage of is bad enough, but suddenly the door burst open and in comes Toji, Kiley, and the school nurse Misao. Toji attacks Goro for all its worth and Misao comforts Momo, who doesn't know if she has lost her virginity or not but feels ashamed nonetheless. At Misao's home Toji admits that he and Sae were in bed together kissing, but it stopped when he realized that she wasn't Momo. Kiley brings up the fact that it all seems too convenient, Sae being in his bed and Goro trying to bed with Momo. He believes they were the victims of a set up and decides to launch the ultimate revenge on Sae...to give her a taste of her own medicine, with Toji and Momo's help. This manga just slipped from teen rating into adult, in my personal opinion. I mean, come on, a friend tries to get revenge on her friend by convincing her boyfriend to date rape her? And what's worse, in order to get back at her they hire an actor to make her think the same has happened to her? It seems that this is not something that Momo would go through with... I mean, sure she might get her revenge, but not by making Sae think she had been raped... just as she had for a while... Overall though, it's still a very good read, but this scenario made it fall a little short of perfect, in my opinion... I still plan on reading the story, but now I feel as if I need to expect the plot to be unbelievable, whereas it seemed entirely plausible before.

Goro Oji, a gorgeous model, has rescued Sae from a fate of her own making. In meeting her at the modeling shoot for the men's magazine he has developed a crush on her and restored her egomaniacal faith in herself. Now Sae is on the rampage and the first target of her destructive tendencies is Momo and Toji...again... Sae is unnerved by their newfound love and wants to break them up and restore herself to the position she was in before, even if it is by usury and scheming. Meanwhile, Momo's birthday is coming up and Toji has a special evening planned for the two of them. His parents are going to be off for the evening and he invites Momo for a special dinner alone, but in the aftermath of their very first kiss is Momo ready to jump to the next step already? Well, if Sae has any say in the matter Momo will be deflowered on her sixteenth birthday, but she hasn't factored Toji into the plan at all...well, not where Momo is concerned anyways... Sae wants Toji for herself and is willing to throw anyone at Momo in order to get him, even Goro, who genuinely likes her (Sae, that is...not Momo). One big dramatic mess... and it just keeps getting better and better. Of course, it's like most typical manga romantic shojo situations, when the characters take a step forward they always take two steps back, but hey, that's life I suppose. I can't wait to read the next volume in this series. I just can't seem to put any of them down.

This is one of the best volumes yet! I love how Miwa Ueda keeps you wanting more. Even my guy friends like it!

The latest volume of Peach Girl is STUNNING. What's happening?Sae has started a new fling with Goro, a famous model, desperate to make Momo jealous. Momo is going out with Toji and their relationship is going great. They plan a small celebration for her birthday, but Sae will NOT let the night end without being on top.The ending is, of course, a bit of a cliff hanger. You must read this volume if you're a Peach Girl fan.My only complaint is that there is only a couple of pages that feature Kiley. ;_;

I truly love the Peach series, I really do. I wondered how there could be 10 books total, but now I see why. Evil Sae wants Toji and she'll do ANYTHING to get him and she's really executed the most vile plan now. And of course Goro will do anything she asks of him, but this time, she really has gone too far. Watch your heart break for Momo yet again and in the worst way this time. It's just hard sometimes to see how some people can be so malicious. I enjoyed this book and can't wait to see what's in store for us next.
