»»» A compra:
Li o 1.º volume e gostei.
»»» A aventura:
Amanda leva o seu furão, a princesa pêssego, para a sala de aula e faz uma amiga neste regresso às aulas. Neste volume vemos Amanda a enfrentar as dificuldades do ambiente escolar e a princesa pêssego a defender o seu reinado quando se depara com um furão ainda mais convencido que ela.
»»» Sentimento final:
Uma história amorosa com umas pitadas de humor, este mais uma vez derivado do reino de sonho em que a furão julga viver, rodeada dos seus súbditos! O que surpreende neste segundo volume é a emoção que resulta das situações que representam, com simplicidade, dificuldades típicas de jovens na escola.
»»» Nota final (capa e outras considerações):
--- [Capa] – Capa menos interessante que a anterior (que nos serve os novos amigos/antagonistas da Amanda e da sua princesa pêssego) ainda que eu não consiga dizer exatamente porquê, talvez as cores, mas é igual às edições internacionais.
--- [Desenho] – Também neste volume o traço bem conseguido é uma mais-valia, conferindo a fofura necessária às personagens e o pormenor aos cenários que falta em muitos outros mangas. Volta o “dragão das mãozinhas” (o dragão com 5 cabeças que a furão vê sempre que alguém aproxima uma mão), que eu adoro.

This wasn't my favorite. It's still my least favorite of the three just because I don't really care for Pavarotti.

Main character goes to school and also shows off her ferret that she really likes and she wants the attention for. Turns out everybody likes animals and doesn't really care about her. Main character gets upset over this and decides to have a fit over this because she is a child. No I'm not saying she's acting childish she is literary a child.
I have minor issues with the fact that we still have a child raising an exotic pet that takes special care and if Peach ever put in her mouth any small object she would choke to death and die. No, seriously ferrets often die from eating something as small as a pencil eraser and it getting stuck in their intestines and killing them. Seeing Peach wander around without anybody intervening or making sure she doesn't pop something small in her mouth makes me nervous and feels like now in hindsight I can say this is abad influence for anybody who reads it and doesn't know proper ferret care and then wants to get a ferret.
The main character gets so jealous of her ferret getting more attention than her that she basically puts on a fursuit. She goes to school dressed as a ferret and wearing a fur suit. I don't know if I really should say that this is stuck in the 2000s a second time I set it on the first part but this is some 2000's energy.
I can ignore the artist being a furry artist and also drawing free not safe for work and stuff but I can't ignore the idea of drawing kids in fursuits going to school just to one up their pet ferret. The manga is just getting ridiculous at this point and we're only two issues in.
Also fursuits are really expensive, like really expensive. I know I'm exaggerating and it's not really a fursuit but it's hard to put that kind of stuff together and for it to just happen like this makes me very confused. But then again she has enough money to afford an exotic pet and somehow keep it alive while it's being mishandled and misrepresented. *Shrugs in unrealistic manga things*
I feel like the nostalgia clouding my brain is the only reason this isn't a two-star read, I remember experiencing this as it was coming out and how I loved it and now I even talk about it positively but when I look at it nowadays, it's not what I remember, nor what I talk about. I speak of a thing that is how I remember it, not how it actually is.
I feel like what I talk about when I mention Peachfuzz is an entirely different entity now than what actually was this series. The memory lives outside of the manga and looms as a ghost.
I still recommend reading it because it's one of the best animal mangas just because there's not a lot of animal mangas especially ones about ferrets. But it's inaccurate content irregardless.

Our main character wears a fur suit to school and is bullied for it. The creators of this series have written some books on how to draw furry art, so I guess everything adds up in that respect. I don’t think I blame anyone for having mixed feelings about that subtext in a children’s series, but I don’t think it’s handled weirdly if you don’t make it weird.
I’m always curious about whether portrayals of bullying in kids’ media actually do anything to reduce bullying. Does it do more to help kids process bullying or does it just model the behavior? These bullies aren’t treated three-dimensionally, but would that be a further trope that encourages kids to lash out in those ways? Who can say.

Book two of the Peach Fuzz series brings us back to Amanda and focuses more on her friend Kim. Kim, like everyone else in Amanda's class, has become swept up in "ferret-fever", and she gets one of her own! She also makes an attempt to help Amanda discover her personal style and become more popular, which culminates in her getting bullied worse than before. Amanda works to patch things up with Kim as best she can while stopping the bullying and continuing to bond with her beloved pet Peach.
I don't like this installment as much as the first, however, I think this story still holds up for its target audience, and I would highly recommend it for any young animal-loving girl! Three stars for this book from this advanced reader.

Amanda wants to be popular at school, but her attempts to impress end up getting her bullied instead, with even her best friend Kim turning against her; meanwhile, Peach is hoping a prince charming will one day find her - and it definitely won't be Kim's new pet ferret, Pavaratty! Cibos and Hodges bring fans another enjoyably corny entry to this lighthearted series of friendship and imagination that will sufficiently resonate with children for its themes on bullying and bravery. Are Amanda and Peach meant to be alone forever?

Me gustó bastante la historia ya que tiene algunos chistes crueles, pero si es algo triste ver este tipo de situaciones con la protagonista y es graciosa la vista de los hurones

Bratty kids, bullies, too rough with their pets. Again, the ferret view was cute.

I loved this series of books. I have ferrets and love them and loved seeing life through a ferrets eyes in this book. It made me laugh as I thought of my ferrets seeing life in that way. A fun and creative book about a little girl and her pet ferret.
In this book, our protagonist has found a new friend, and what's extra cool is this new friend has a ferret too. Only problem is, these ferrets aren't really found of each other. What's a ferret, who thinks she is a princess, to do? LOL! Very cute read.

Está muy bonito y simpático :) Aunque siento que es una copia de Hamtaro, que al mismo tiempo busca competir contra él.
Sea como sea, no ocupé leer el primer número para disfrutar del segundo.
Fácilmente, lo metería en la lista de los mangas más kawaiis (pero ya sé que no es un manga tal cual :P )

Great story! I'm a little ashamed to admit this book brought me to tears. The part where everyone turns against Amanda and her costume was just so emotional! Although I loved the ending when Amanda steps up to save the hamster. Gosh I'm sorry what a spoiler I am! Anyways if you haven't read it yet you definitely should.

Poor Amanda, in this one! Poor Peach! Poor HAMSTER! It just makes me think of one thing: I am SO glad I was home-schooled. I mean, COME ON! I would've probably killed myself from all of the cruelty surrounding me...!

February 22, 2011The art is good, but I swear the ferret has more character maturation than the girl. This wouldn't be interesting in a regular book.

Good book!
I'm a ferret fanatic. And I loved this cute graphic novel. If you are owned by a ferret you will love these books!
