Peach Girl: Change of Heart, Vol. 1

Customer Reviews:

A must read for teen girls.......2007-10-09

Peach girl is one of the sweetest manga I've ever read.
Having gone through many of the same issues with lost love and back stabbing friends I found myself really bonding with the main character Momo.
Every teen girl should pick up a copy as their next manga must have!

New love, old problems Part 1.......2006-04-14

Momo has had a change of heart. Despite the fact that she had lingering feelings for Toji she has moved on and is now in a relationship with Kiley, the man who helped her through all of her prior romantic grief. Things are not as wonderful as they should be though. Momo's former friend (and enemy) Sae is on the warpath, trying to insinuate herself into Momo's life again by supplanting nasty rumors about her and Kiley, while rubbing into Momo's face that she and Toji are dating.

To make matters stranger there is a bizarre interlude with Nurse Misao that has left Momo skeptical about Kiley's feelings. When he says Misao and his older brother used to be an item is he really telling the whole truth? And what's worse, why does he have an old photo of a woman that may be Misao and him? And who is the strange girl that Kiley is meeting up with in the bookstore in secret?

I'm so happy, "Peach Girl" is back in all of it's angst y goodness. And this series proves to be better than ever. I am so utterly excited that not only are Momo and Kiley dating (finally) but that we now get to have an insight on who Kiley really is...and he seems to be much deeper vessel than we formerly gave him credit for. This playful individual has a dark side and a past and now that Momo is getting to know him better we finally get to venture into that side of him. Joy. On the other hand Toji has diminished into the shadows, but I am certain he will resurface, most likely whenever Sae plans something nasty on Momo.

Fans of Peach Girl rejoice... the second series is as good as the first, thus far.

Peach Girl Forever!.......2003-11-02

The amazing series continues in the original Japanese format! I don't want to spoil what's goin on but this is my favorite manga series of them all as a great cheesy teen romance that keeps you hooked right in the story! I highly, highly, highly, recommend this manga and I'm pretty convinced if you buy it you'll enjoy it.

It's finally happened!.......2003-05-03

Momo and Kiley are together! Kiley remains a true Wily-Kiley with his interest in Momo, but he definitely shows his sweet-side throughout the book. And, as always, he's the character which makes the comic funny and worth reading. Sae takes a back seat in this volume, appearing (I believe) only once, but we find our villain when Kiley's old girlfriend shows up...and appears ready to reclaim him. We learn some of Kiley's past in this volume, and also get a deeper side to him, as well. This Volume will leave you craving the next, seeking resolve to the many new mysteries which surface in this book. This volume (and in fact, the entire series) is probably one of the most re-readable. I frequently pick it up and read it all again, unlike some of my other manga, which is good one time through, then gets old.
This volume is written in the original right-to-left format. The benefit of this is that none of the artwork has been flipped, or altered. The downside is that, if this is your first encounter with this style, you will most likely get confused and dizzy trying to figure out the order by which to read the panels (but don't worry, you get used to it after a few pages or so, and there is instructions in the book).

My favourite manga!.......2003-03-14

Peach Girl is my favourite of all manga. It has such an intersting story line, interesting characters and AMAZING art. Miwa Ueda has real talent for showing emotions throw Japanese Anime. I have volume 3, and have read one and two, and I could read them back to back, over and over. I can't get enough!

new love, old problems... the finale........2006-04-17

Momo has done the unexpected, she has chosen Toji over Kiley. Now Kiley does the unexpected by refusing to give her up. He grabs her arm and takes her away from Toji, where Momo tells him once and for all that it is over. After things settle down Toji suggests that they go on a trip to reward themselves to which Momo has mixed feelings. She knows that Toji will want to make love to her, but with her turbulent attitude towards Kiley looming over her she feels unable to reciprocate his feelings.

Kiley lapses into a serious depression. The only person who stays by his side during this time is Sae, who has gotten over the fact that her "pregnancy" was all in her mind. While Kiley is sinking further Sae thinks it's high time that Momo knew about the fact that he followed her to Shiranami the day of the typhoon, when she thought he ditched her. This further confuses Momo who cries on Misao's shoulder about the whole thing. Momo realizes she's late for her meeting with Toji so she goes to meet him and heads to their destination. Kiley also decides to take a trip, to Shiranami, where he tries to bury his feelings for Momo and nearly drowns in the process... but at the last moment there is a tough decision that saves his life and his heart...and ends the series on a very high note.

Joy...utter joy the ending of this series was. I am so happy over the outcome I could jump up and down. Momo finally knows who and what she wants and has grabbed it with both eyes opened. I do feel bad for the loser, who was a nice guy...but I am overjoyed at her choice. And the method in which she found her way back to him was so splendid to read. I admit, I'm saddened that this is the end, but I'm happy at the ending, it wound up just as I wanted it, so I have nothing to complain about.

This was a wonderful series. Do try it. You won't regret it.

Happy, happy, happy.......2005-01-17

This is the last Peach Girl book ever, :(. But we all knew it had to end sometime, right? This was a very emotional book that ended beautifully. It is a very easy read that is perfect for a lazy evening in a comfy chair. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that loves romance.

And so it comes to an end..........2004-11-15

I've been reading Peach girl for a couple years, ever since I picked up one of the volumes in borders and was impressed by the gorgeous artwork. After six years, the last volume has finally arrived.

What I like about this story is that it's sweet, honest, at times rather funny and completely without that anime demon-hunter alternate identity stuff that so many other mangas are loaded with. It is basically the story of a young girl named Momo (Peach in Japanese) who is on the swim team, tans very easily and is caught in a sort of love triangle with two very realistic, very sweet and honest boys who care deeply about her.

After I finished volume 9, I thought I had it all figured out. I was sure that Momo would end up with Toji, Sae would end up with Ryo and Kiley would end up with Misao. I was so sure of this that I picked up the last book confident with this ending. But Miwa Ueda still has some surprises left for us, as this volume demonstrates. I was impressed with the fast moving story, the well-drawn motivations of the characters and the less than candy-coated "happy ending".

In her interview at the end of the book, she talks briefly about what her next manga will be about. She mentions tackling a bad "more Sae-like" main character. I hope this will be translated as well, because I look forward to reading it.

I was sorry to see the Peach Girl books end, but it was nice to have some closure.

New Love, Old Problems Part 4.......2006-04-14

Kiley has done the unexpected, he has broken up with Momo because of his love for his former tutor, nurse Misao. Momo is heartbroken but refuses to take this news lying down. After an incident at the pool brings Toji back into her life it also brings her closer to Kiley once she saves his life from drowning. In the aftermath of this near fatal experience Kiley finally explains the past between him and Misao and why exactly she is so important to him. This is the same time that he and Momo's path first crossed, that is this was when she first saved his life from drowning. He tells her he can't commit to her while he still feels so strongly for another but she is willing to try to make him love her, even when Toji expresses that he wants to get back with her (after Sae has conveniently broken up with him for Ryo).

Momo confronts Kiley and tells him she wants him no matter what, and all seems to be going swimmingly until a nude photo of Sae surfaces and all hell breaks loose...again.

Will Kiley and Momo be ok? Won't Sae ever learn, and what's with Toji suddenly getting back to Momo like nothing ill happened between them? Hmmm, well I know I can't wait to find out, and will be heading off to get the next volume in this great series. I can't believe it's still this good after this long, but it is, and I think every manga fan should check it out at least once. It's worth it.

Fluffy pleasure combined with surprising tug at heart.......2003-11-09

Our heroine, Momo, get more heartaches in this installment. Kiley confesses that he has loved school nurse Misao since she was a tutor to him when he was in middle school. He also loves Momo but he just can't let go of his feeling for Misao. This make it sounds like Kiley is a jerk but the book gives a sympathetic portrayal of young, insecure Kiley in his junior days. We also finally learn what truly happened on the day Momo and Kiley first met (when Momo saved him from drowning). Misao was not just his first love, but probably first true friend. This revealation devastates Momo. After her traumatic relationship with Toji, you would think Momo would have gotten a break with dependable, reliable Kiley. But Kiley only ends up hurting her at the end too. Understandably, Momo falls into a deep depression. Toji learns of Momo's heartbreak. He came to Momo and tells that he wants to get back together. What choice would Momo make? She makes her choice. Personally, I don't think it's the right choice. But our Momo boldy goes on. There is also a bit about Sae possibly in prostitution. I don't know why anyone would be surprised. I hope Momo and the gang learned their lesson and leave Sae alone.

Yet another ending alluding to more twists... Can't wait for Peach Girl Change of Heart 5

Great Artwork and storyline!.......2003-11-01

I loved Peach Girl and now Peach Girl Change of Heart books!! The story is not as good as Peach Girl books volumes 1 to 8 but it still has great characters and great stories. It's a good read! I read alot of mangas and this author is one of my favorites because of her drawings. Clean and simple whereas other mangas' drawings are kinda sloppy and often overlaps with each other. If you appreciate art and a good story, get this series.

New Love, Old Problems, Part 7.......2006-04-17

Toji has proposed to Momo that they get back together, now that Kiley has gone off to find himself and is seemingly ignoring Momo's attempts to connect with him. What Momo doesn't know is that Kiley was living and working in a Soba noodle restaurant with an older couple who really enjoy helping him out, so now that he has serious pneumonia they have taken him to the hospital... where he is currently lying on his deathbed. And the only girl on his mind is Momo.

An overheard conversation between Sae and Toji has brought to light the fact that Toji has had strong feelings for her since their breakup a year prior, and Momo's heart is starting to ache for him the same way it used to... Even though she can't quite give up on Kiley.

The only thing that keeps Momo going is a trip that she and Kiley planned to take together at the end of the summer... a special trip where Momo planned on giving herself to him. Well, the agreement was if he was late she would go on without him... and when an incident with his brother lands Ryo in the hospital Kiley gives up his first priority to be with him...much to Momo's discontent. She goes off to the beach by herself, and is surprised to discover that she is not quite alone...in fact that Toji has followed her to the resort to make sure she is ok...but now a hurricane has come and Toji can't go home because of it...and neither can Kiley come to her... but someone shares Momo's bed that night.

Hmmm... I don't know if I quite like Toji taking advantage of Momo when she's vulnerable...even if they had a history together. Her reaching out for him was obviously a move of loneliness, and I think he's selfish for reciprocating her feelings, even though his are just as strong...and poor Kiley... just when he discovers his true feelings he sees Toji and Momo together at the resort... true, he was the one who put their relationship on hold, but Kiley has always been more of a sympathetic character to me, so it's hard for me to see him in pain. Toji, on the other hand... I like him, but he mistreated Momo so often that I can't agree with him being the one who has won her...even if she does seem uncertain.

The good news is that this series is still addictive and still wonderful. Shojo fans, this is a must read.

Peach Girl Change of Heart, Vol. 7.......2004-03-28

Peach Girl Change of Heart Volume Seven (7) has a really excellent plot, and is exquisitly drawn. The author, Miwa Ueda, is very very talented. I cried when I read it. However, it is pretty mature. Also, You cannot read it alone, you must also read Peach Girl Change of Heart Books 1-6, too. (You also may want to read the first 8 Peach Girl books.) I loved this book, because I have been following the adventures of Momo, Kiley, Sae and Toji throughout book 1. As I said, this book has a great plot, and no manga fan will want to miss this. This book is, in my opinion, one the most excellent teen romance series ever. It would be a great addition to anyone's collection, manga fan or no.

Peach girl 7 has left me in a place in the storie that I don't know where it's going to go from here, this is probly the most on the edge of my seat since I started it.

The first day of school is always full of surprises—especially when Momo shows up with Toji!

On the other hand, karma is in full force when friendly foe Sae finds herself expecting the unexpected!

New Love, Old Problems, Part 8.......2006-04-17

Momo and Toji show up at the beginning of school together, and this sparks all sorts of speculation about what is going on between the two of them. Momo is apprehensive about how the student body will handle this new change, but Toji and her decide to take it in strides... and Sae is sick to her stomach. Kiley, on the other hand, couldn't be more vivacious and charismatic, flirting with other women and taking photos with his brand new digital camera.

Momo get confused (again) about her feelings for Kiley when she discovers a photo of her from the first day at school in one of his notebooks... and Misao is finally starting to see a side of Ryo that she is unable to stomach when she sees how cold he is to Sae over her important news... and why is Kiley crying outside of Momo's gate at night...?

The series is almost done, and yet the storyline is heating up better than ever. Sides are clearly being drawn, and the lover's triangles are becoming more and more Bermudic... my gods, if I ever had this kind of drama and emotion over a choice of lovers I think I would throw up my hands in despair. Momo clearly has a hard choice to make, now that Kiley is exhibiting that he is still interested... who will it be to finally win her heart?

Chock full of love and torturous angst makes this manga worth reading.. For shojo fans and manga fans alike. It's definitely not a disappointment.

The Best Peach Girl Book!!!.......2004-04-30

OMG! This has been the best peach girl book so far. Its filled with a great amount of surprises, some good some not so good in Sae's case. Its a great book to read.

New Love Old Problems, Part 6.......2006-04-17

Momo has walked in on a strange scene. Misao is asleep on the break room's couch, and Kiley is kissing her on her face. This is all the proof she needs to know that she can never replace Misao in Kiley's heart so she heads home to find Sae there, and horror of horrors, finds herself confessing her misery to her former enemy. Momo actually derives some comfort from Sae, especially when she tells Kiley that he should make his feelings knows to Misao...give her the chance to weigh in on his attraction.

Well, once Misao turns him down he discovers his heart is heavy with grief and that he can't quite face Momo at work. So, without further adieu, Kiley embarks on a walking quest to sort out his feelings. Meanwhile, Sae has suggested to Toji that the convenience store Momo works at has an opening, and she finds working beside her former lover to be...challenging, especially when he starts making advances on her.

Well, one would hope now that Kiley has confessed his love to Misao and has been shot down that he will move on and be able to be with Momo... but now with Toji in the picture again that looks next to impossible. But this ambivalence makes Kiley all the more likeable... if he just accepted things without second guessing he would be a dullard. Toji I can't quite wrap my brain out, it's been a year since the break up and he wants back with Momo like nothing happened, like he didn't' break up badly with her because of Sae... it's all too much to process, but it's still very good. Quite a worthwhile read.

New Love, Old Problems Part 9.......2006-04-17

Momo has seen a new side of Kiley that she never thought was possible, and now she doesn't know what to do about her resurfacing feelings. She knows he must have seen her and Toji kissing and that's why he was crying outside of her house, but she doesn't know how to handle it. Meanwhile, next to Sae's problems Momo's problems seem inconsequential. Ryo has acknowledged Sae's pregnancy by doing the most inappropriate thing possible...he has given her a box of post-contraceptive pills that will, in essence, abort the baby inutero if she takes them. Sae, still in love with Ryo, doesn't want to give up their child and lashes out in the only way that she knows will hurt him, by trying to harm Misao... who is starting to see a side of him she wishes she hasn't.

Suddenly a heartfelt confession of love from Kiley has Momo reeling... and Toji witnesses the whole thing... now, while literally in the middle of a love triangle Momo is forced to choose between the two who both care for her deeply...but a chance phone call from Sae puts the whole matter on hold...is she really in the hospital or is Sae up to her old tricks again.

Well, after this volume there is only one more book left...which means that this penultimate issue is trying to tie up a lot of loose ends as it's simultaneously opening old wounds... now it's time to play guessing games on who's going to be the man to win Momo's heart. My money is on Kiley, purely for this reason. Ueda has spent so much time in developing the rift between the two of them. First, she sets up this dynamic relationship on and off again between Momo and Kiley in the first installment of Peach girl that ends in Kiley confessing his love and now the bulk of this series has been about their relationship and then break up of that relationship...true Toji was involved (to a degree) but he always seemed like such a secondary character even in the first part when they were seeing each other heavily. Kiley always managed to creep in and monopolize Momo's time and the readers hearts with his antics and charm... so yeah, my money is on Kiley... because honestly nice guys do finish last, and Toji was always too much of a pushover for his own good.

So, that being said, I'm off to read the next issue... It's been 17 volumes, thus far, and they are all worth the time. You should indulge yourself in them as I have done...they're really very worth it.

A Peach Girl Fan Must Have!.......2004-07-12

No spoilers here... It's been about six years that I've been reading Peach Girl (hooked from the beginning), and I am a huge fan of this teen manga even though I am beyond my teen years. This book is a must have addition to the drama. I feel that this book has some scattered details that need attention to be paid closely. It leaves some small details a little ambiguous at the end, but with only one more book left in the series, Miwa Ueda will surely tie it all up there. Whether you are rooting for Kiley or Toji, you are going to find high points here. And, if you've been following the series, you've seen Sae at her worst. I think she really picks up some points for her character in this one.

If you haven't read any of the other books in the series, seriously start from the beginning and read them all. It's worth the investment. The plot is thick and the pictures are gorgeous! Miwa Ueda has not kept her characters static, most of them have grown quite a bit since the beginning. If you only read one teen manga series, this is the one you should go for!

New love, Old Problems Part 2.......2006-04-14

Momo has spied on Kiley's secret meeting with Morika and heard of the plans to meet at a hotel. Horrified she throws Kiley's present, a knit cell phone case that Momo handmade, at him and takes off. He pursues her only to get into a run in with a mugging and beat up so severely it lands him in the hospital. Momo, thinking he would show up to apologize, waits all night for him only to be ignored.

Now, ticked off and with nothing else to lose, she decides to confront Kiley and Morika at the hotel, but to her astonishment it turns out that the meeting was not between them but between Morika and Kiley's older brother, Ryo. Ryo turns on all the charm to Momo, who enchants him, and invites her to a party hosted by his programming company in an effort to get her some cash (so she can go off with Kiley for a special trip). But Momo's good intentions turn against her as everything that Kiley warned her about his older brother turns out to be true...and what's worse is that Sae is present to witness Momo's mistake.

Drama....! Man, smooth playboys like Ryo make high school manga worth reading, and here he is in all of his glory... seducing one woman after another, playing people against one another...Kiley is right when he says that Ryo is like Sae.. Perfect match, which is why Ryo called Sae on the carpet about her behaviour...they are mirror images, and when you throw that in with someone as gullible and na?ve as Momo...well let's just say she is the pot calling the kettle black as far as Toji is concerned...she fell for every single one of Ryo's smooth stories just as Toji did with Sae, only now Momo is powerless to do anything. Well, the series just keeps getting better and better, and I know I'll be getting the next volume from work just to keep my fix going.

Great Bro.......2003-06-04

In this vol. of change of heart Momo mets Kiley's big bro Ryo.
he come's off as a nice guy at first but he's secretly another Sae at least thats what i think.Every thing changes around and like momo wanted Toji to believe that sae was evil Kiley now is trying to convince Momo that Ryo is evil as well.At the end of vol.2 kiley has to come to Momo's rescue and this of course is the catch that makes you have to buy the next vol.

New Love, Old problems Part 3.......2006-04-14

Ryo has lured Momo into a position where she is undoubtedly compromised. When he tries to force himself upon her she grabs the only weapon at her disposal that she has access to, a ballpoint pen, and stabs him in the head with it. Thinking she killed him she manages to get away, running into Kiley's arms just at the nick of time. Kiley comforts her and she has to admit to him that he was right all along about how Ryo is and that she misjudged him. In fact the whole thing smacks of how Momo used to be with Toji about Sae, back in the days when they were an item.

What Kiley and Momo are unaware of is that Sae and Ryo end up going home together after the incident with Momo, and Sae uses this info to try to hurt Momo the next day. It backfires, as Momo does not care about what Sae does, so long as she doesn't hurt Toji in the process. ..and a chance encounter with Ryo again, held off conveniently by a bottle of pepper spray that Kiley given her, makes Momo doubt everything that Kiley has ever told her when it comes to how he feels... so when she gets the opportunity she decides to give Kiley the thing he has been begging at for weeks, her body...but could his feelings for another prevent him from connecting with her physically?

Once again...pure drama... although I find it hilarious that Sae has come under Ryo's spell, considering he is playing her in the exact way that she has played everyone up until now. I also find it funny that Kiley's feelings keep vacillating between women...who is he in love with, and why is he stringing Momo along if he has feelings for another, or more importantly why would she put up with it if she knows? Momo irritated me a touch in this episode, I mean I can understand allowing Kiley some freedom about his past and his past loves, but this is too much.. He admits he can't love her completely because of another woman and then she freely accepts it just because Toji said something pointed that made sense? Unbelievable... and yet so good.

Manga fans, this is worth the hype. Pick it up, you won't regret it.

I read girl's comics because they are like popcorns but some can be really too corny (i.e. Mamalade boy). Peach Girl is of the too-corny variety but I have to admit, it is one of the most twisted yet attractive soap opera for teens. At the end of the last page, it leaves you craving to find out what happens next.

New Love, Old Problems Part 5.......2006-04-14

Momo and Kiley have just prevented Sae from engaging in prostitution with an elder client. When she tries to sell Momo a skin whitening product afterwards the suspicions are raised as to what exactly Ryo has her doing for him. Toji discovers via the internet that Ryo is involved with a serious pyramid scheme and has basically enlisted Sae to make the money for him, no matter what she has to do.

Momo's relationship has it's stops and starts too... on the one hand she wants to allow him his space so that he can mourn the loss of his true love, Nurse Misao, but on the other hand she wants him to only desire her... even if she is still not quite ready to give into his sexual desires. When he asks her to work with him at a convenience store so that they can raise the money for their special trip she resigns herself to it, but halfheartedly.

Then things spice up again as Sae gets involved in a porno video that she is blissfully ignorant of, and the only reason Momo knows what it is because Kiley has seen the people involved in porno movies. They must stop her from making a terrible mistake, even if Sae has never been the nicest person to Momo.

I can't stop reading this series. It's wonderful, and just the right kind of drama without being overblown that really makes a manga series wonderful. Pick it up... but beware, this series causes dire addictions...you won't be able to wait to find out what is happening next.

Fans of the series will be pleasantly surprised.......2004-01-05

Once again, it is up to Momo to save Sae. But this book is different, it ends in an actually quite surprising way. If you were getting sick of Sae's thoughtless, evil antics then this book is the antidote. It offers some new, surprising twists and is definetly worth the read if you've been following the series.

OMG! This was so great.......2003-12-16

Peach Girl is my favorite manga. The characters seem so real and so do the situations. Even though this one seems to be centered around Sae the ending is a real cliffhanger. I couldn't believe what Kiley did! I can't wait till the next one!
