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.

Reviews

[Mehsi]

Short review to come.

[Katrina Payne]

Finally a book with an entirely normal amount of metaphysical nonsense

So, having dolls that should not exist in the unwound world existing in the unwound world and then no longer existing in the unwound world has had a few logical and entirely reasonable consequences

Completely and entirely reasonable consequences that affect the wound world

A decent chunk and tome of material that continues a story that was mostly finished in the last tome--by having the next conflict being the consequences of their actions

Also all the Rozen Maidens are extremely cute, and that helps

[Jenna Alcock]

This novel showed so much growth for the characters i cant wait to see how it all ends next volume.
