This is even better than the first one. The plot has picked up quite a bit.

Nachdem der Quälgeist Jamapi Besitz von Momokos Schwarm Yosuke ergriffen hat, soll er Momoko töten, damit der Dämon Ame durch sie als Engelskriegerin Wedding Peach in seiner Aufgabe nicht mehr gestört werden kann. Durch die Gefühle von Momoko passiert es aber, dass der Quälgeist Jamapi lieb wird und Ames Plan wieder einmal fehl schlägt. Momoko nimmt den kleinen Quälgeist gegen den Willen ihrer Freundinnen bei sich auf. Da sie aus einer edlen Gesinnung handelt offenbart sich ihr der erste der zauberhaften Vier - Gegenstände mit ungeheurer Macht. Doch diese zu finden ist schwer. Denn man kennt weder Aufenthaltsort noch Form der Vier.
Nach dem Kampf nähert sich Momoko wieder Yosuke an und die beiden verabreden sich. Doch die Dämonen kennen nun Momokos Schwachpunkt und entführen ihn. Gemeinsam mit ihren Freundinnen macht sich Momoko auf den Weg, um ihre große Liebe zu retten.
In der Fortsetzung der Magical-Girl-Reihe "Wedding Peach" präsentiert Nao Yazawa wieder eine sehr gelungene Story. Noch immer ähnelt sie sehr der Magical-Girl-Reihe "Sailor Moon", macht aber trotzdem Spaß. Die kitschigen Zeichnungen sind noch etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, dürften aber genau das richtige für eine junge Leserschaft sein. Wer als erwachsener Leser darüber hinweg sehen kann, bekommt eine solide Story, die sich rund um Dämonen, Engel und natürlich das heiraten dreht. Weit oben im Kurs steht neben der Liebe auch die gute Freundschaft zwischen Momoko und ihren Freundinnen Hinagiku und Yuri. Die Mädchen halten zusammen, komme was wollen. Dass gerade Momoko in diesem Band wieder einmal in den Fokus gerät ist schlicht und einfach der Tatsache geschuldet, dass es in diesem Manga im Gegensatz zu Sailor Moon keine große Geheimniskrämerei über die Identität der Charaktere gibt. Das macht das Ganze natürlich nicht so langatmig. Was mich an dem Band begeistert hat ist die Art des Quälgeist Jamapi. Er will einerseits lieb sein, will aber nicht den Anschluss zu seinem Meister Ame verlieren, was ihn wirklich in die Verzweiflung treibt.
Neben dem Kampf der Engel gegen die Dämonen, der wirklich interessant gestaltet ist, geht es in dem Manga aber auch um die Liebe zwischen Yosuke und Momoko. Obwohl die beiden sich scheinbar zu Beginn nicht leiden konnten entwickelt sich nun eine zarte Liebe. Das geht in meinen Augen zwar ein bisschen fix, war aber abzusehen. Dass Yosuke immer wieder durch Momoko in den Fokus der Dämonen gerät ist für den armen Kerl natürlich nicht ohne, aber ich denke auch von Yosukes Seite werden wir noch einige Überraschungen erleben. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass die Autorin, da die Story so sehr der von Sailor Moon ähnelt, aus dem guten Yosuke auch noch einen Dämonenfürsten macht - würde zumindest vom Ablauf her stimmig sein. Man darf also gespannt sein.
Empfehlen möchte ich den Manga allen Fans von romantischen und magischen Magical-Girl-Serien. Ihr kommt hier voll und ganz auf eure Kosten, wenn ihr darüber hinweg sehen könnt, dass sich die Geschichte sehr der von Sailor Moon Annähert.
Von mir gibt es 4 von 5 Sternen.

This series likes to end its volumes with cliffhangers. After the events in volume one, we start with a short battle followed by a history and the importance of the Saint Something Four. The plot further thickens with the introduction of new demons, Yanagiba holding a secret and Yousuke getting kidnapped by the demons. This fast paced romantic fantasy series is starting to get serious!
There was quite a bit to unfold in this volume. Momoko is the innocent one and seems to believe there is good in everyone. This is sometimes the reason why she gets hurt but it’s also endearing how she tries to reason with the demons. Yuri and Hinajiku on the other hand, are more logical but protective. I feel like they are Momoko’s older sisters, guiding and supporting her through the situations. I enjoyed their relationship and look forward to their strengthening bond.
Momoko’s relationship with Yousuke is definitely one of love although they might not realize it yet. I love their dynamics together and how Yousuke is protective of Momoko. It’s honestly sweet and I wish we could see when Yousuke started having these feelings for Momoko.
The story in this volume introduces new powers and characters. While Pluie uses multiple methods to try and capture the Saint Something Four, the Love Angels have repetitive powers, I guess. Momoko’s ring does protect and showcase new powers but they aren’t used in battle much. This made the story fall a little flat for me because I would have loved to see some variation and maybe the sword again. That said, the fights are quite underwhelming.
This volume introduces some unanswered questions such as, what happened to Momoko’s mother, or Yanagiba’s true identity. I liked how they were woven into the story but didn’t take away from the main purpose of finding and protecting the Saint Something Four.
Similar to volume one the artwork is expressive and detailed. I loved the one and two page full spreads. I felt like they really added to the beauty of the manga and helped highlight key areas. I also liked how the series tries to cut down on repetition which is a welcomed change. My only complaint would be that all the side character wedding brides look alike so I can’t tell them apart.
Overall, this was a fun and fast-paced read. I’m looking forward to the developing plot in the next volume and hopefully we’ll find more of the Saint Something Fours.

Finding out that the soccer guy (the main one) was the Arch(???)angel Limone at the end of the 'extra' last volume, really makes his suspicions as the soccer guy in this one like really amusing. And I actually like Momoko and Yosuke's relationship, haha.

Yosuke has been kidnapped by one of the devils and it is up to Wedding Peach and her friends to save him! On their journey in a world between ours and the demon world, they will face a foe who will pit them against one another, testing their bonds, their love, and their trust. But they have no time to bicker while Yosuke is being turned into something else by the demons!
Well, I certainly did not get this far in the anime. Or the manga and anime took very different directions. Either way, 96.5% of this volume was all new content to me. I waited an awfully long time to make a review for it though, so it likely won't be very long and definitely not as descriptive or feelsy as I had initially wanted this review to be.
So, Momoko is definitely in love with Yosuke. At least, I believe it to be puppy love, which is so sweet and pure and curious. She still shows signs of love for Yanagiba, but I think it's something else. I think she is just so into the habit of being "in love" with him, that she doesn't know how else to react to him. Not to mention that he likely has a very attractive aura considering he is most likely Angel Limone! Although, I am beginning to doubt that theory of Yanagiba's identity a little. But I am almost 100% sure that he is hiding another part of himself.
Also, did anyone else feel that this was kind of a mix of Sailor Moon and some other old shoujo which slipped my mind..? Anyway, this was quite the pleasant read. It gave me some more will to be happy and positive, the first volume did so as well. I enjoyed it, and I can't wait to find this volume for a good price somewhere so that I may add it to my collection.

The story continues to be super cute and cheesy. Momoko/Wedding Peach is crazy nice, seeing the good in everyone even if they are pretty much evil, but the other two of the trio are more realistic.
