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

[Jenny Clark · Rating 4 out of 5]

Again, the art is really cute, and it was nice to see Takaya coming to care about Ren so much. Nia is cute, and I love her personality. Khi is a very mysterious character, and I wonder what significance his and Natsuki's being in the same school will have. I enjoyed the side story about the cherry blossom trees, it was very nice and relaxing.
We are slowly learning more, and I wonder where it is all going to lead. Also, why does Takeya not call his mom "mom", but by her first name?

Xaki (guy who first fought to catch Ren) trains Nia (cat) to fetch Ren. Rubi is more fleshed out (a dominatrix DearS who trains Sheep like Khi) and Hiro still attempts to swoon Ren. An unknown alien named Fina is the “Watcher”. Rubi manages to capture Ren after Takeya leaves her when she tells him to use her.

This series is very good, it's heartwarming, funny and exciting.

[Gabby · Rating 5 out of 5]

Starting to get a little confused with the elongated plot lines but yet you see the characters slowly changing.

The middle book but the last one I needed to complete my set! I enjoyed.
