About the author

Peach-Pit (ピーチ・ピット Pīchi Pitto) is a female manga artist duo in Japan, made up of Banri Sendo (千道 万里 Sendō Banri) and Shibuko Ebara (えばら 渋子 Ebara Shibuko). Their group name derives from the diner hangout Peach-Pit from the TV show Beverly Hills, 90210. Although both have similar styles, with some artwork it is possible to identify which artist drew it. Both are known for their bishōjo styled works. As noted in their books, they are both Geminis and have "Almost flushed our phones down the toilet...twice."

The two of them grew up together and went to the same elementary school and have been best friends ever since. Both started as doujinshi manga artists, but not as Peach-Pit. Then they were scouted by Dengeki Comic Gao!. In 2008, one of their manga, Shugo Chara!, was awarded the Kodansha Manga Award for best children's manga. Shugo Chara was also turned later into an Anime television series.

Takeya saves Ren with relative ease and awakens lady Fina who grants them safe passage out of the ship. He tells her that Ren is like family and Fina and trusts that he will be a good master.

Bousou= going wild A new Dears named Ayu is introduced.

Ren seems to have lost her ability to speak in Japanese, it’s quickly resolved on a new squishy alien appears and they visit the ship.

Ayu is another cute DearS, and I like how she has a surffer girl attitude in the translation. China and Io are both also absolutely adorable. I feel bad for China in the end. Just a few more volumes!
