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.

Pure nostalgic goodness 🥺💖🌹

The second volume and boy I loved every moment of it. Well, OK, not when the teacher came by, or what Suiguintou did when another character did something, but I loved the backstory, getting more information about the dolls, see Jun get out of his shell more and realise how his with his sister, see him get closer to the dolls, see the dolls do their thing (but day to day stuff but also battles), meet Suiguintou's girl of interest (which is another sad story), enjoy great art, and oh yes, Kanaria!

Starts off extremely cute--but towards the end of this volume it gets very very emotional. Cried quite a bit at the last portion of things. There is some emotional bits--mixed in with some exceptionally cute parts

Great read
