Manga Mayhem: Wedding Peach vol. 1 - Child Brides Attack!

 As gross as the base idea of Wedding Peach initial felt to me, I was surprised at how much I appreciated the simple quest for cuteness that Wedding Peach turned out to be. Yes, the series feels very dated, with a group of boy crazy heroines who have to fight demons looking to remove love from the world. There is no dark twist. Nothing here is aiming to subvert the genre. Wedding Peach is here to give the reader exactly what is says on the tin. This is pure magical girl cuteness. The sacred items that they are sworn to protect are called "The Four Sacred Somethings" for crying out loud. (Something old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue).  And I didn't hate it!

Getting To Know Me

 I love reading. I don't always have time to do it, but I always try to make sure that I am reading something. I enjoy regular novels, short stories, comics, manga, even visual novels. I love the written word, and I don't always have an outlet to discuss what I am reading at the time. I have odd interests, or read weird books that no one else has probably thought about it thirty years.  I also love writing, although my confidence in that realm has faltered a bit in the last decade or so.  Working on this blog informally is a nice way to get those muscles working again. This blog is just for the fun of it. A place for me to express my thoughts on whatever I am reading at the time. Who knows how long I'll keep up with it, or how frequently, but it will always be here for me when I need to rant, rave and review whatever I'm currently reading.
