Anime VS. Manga: Peach Girl

Peach Girl         













manga (above) ~~
Peach Girl, in my perspective, is one of, if not, favourite romance manga/anime. The manga itself is one that is a definate heart stealer with all its fluttery, beautiful moments and its heartbreaking moments, not to mention the times when you simply want to laugh out loud (trying not to type "LOL" - very challenging). In the manga, the emotions are much more intense and the romantic scenes really get those butterflies flying. The art in the manga is much more refined than the anime, as would be expected, and the expression of love is definatly more noticeable than in the anime. The story itself is not strickly "shoujo"-ish, I suppose, but it is not, in the slightest, the more original plot. Simply picture two guys fighting over a girl and there, you have the basic gist of the story, however, the little twists that are involved make the story more enjoyable and unexpected.

The anime, in comparison, is a little more light hearted. It doesn't contain too many sexual references as the manga and the sad moments are not as cry-your-heart out. But, neither, is it that bad in the manga, I suppose. However, on the negative side, there are a few, really heart-melting scenes that feature in the manga that are either non-existant or altered in the anime. This really swayed me a little towards the origianl manga rather than the anime. Also, in the english dubbed version, the words are translated differently and so the impact is sometimes altered. Although, this may be true, the anime does, no doubt, make up for it's negatives. The colour and effects added in the anime really enhance the romantic moments and the hilarious moments are made better with the characters voices. All in all, the anime does have it's own unique and exciting qualities.



WHO WINS? : It was very difficult to choose whether the anime or the manga won... but I think I'll give it to the anime but only with a slight majority

Remember to comment to tell me if you agree or if this post helped you at all.

Thank you for your intake on which you prefer, the anime or manga of Peach Girl. I preferred the manga of Peach Girl since it had some funny and cute moments here and there. Lots of drama and craziness but I like Peach Girl!
