DVD Review: Peach Girl Volume 04


I thought about reviewing all 5 volumes that have been currently released in America but I don't want to spend that amount of time. In a nut shell this is a very soap opera style show girl likes boy, boy likes girl but are too shy to tell each other. Plus the drama of love triangles and other characters messing up everything for our lovers oh the drama!

So Momo and Kiley are finally acouple with her past with Toji finally over and done with can Momo find happiness and bring their relationship further? OF COURSE NOT! The volume featured a lot of drama, plot twists and revealed even more about Kiley's past and who he really is and why he is.

We meet
Kiley'd older brother who at first seems like a nice guy but Kiley tells Momo he's no good and to stay away, going on her gut she ignores Kiley and befriends his older brother. In the end he spins lies and knows all of Momo's buttons to push to get what he wants.

He decides to go after Momo sexually and damn near rape she can kick ass when she needs too! finally realizing
Kiley was right we see what a no good ass hole is hrother is and he explain many revealing things about his past to her about how he stole all his girlfriends from him among other things.

The biggest shocker about the entire volume is
Kiley and his past with the school nurse, he thinks are going to good with Mom and isn't sure if he can trust her, his feelings for the school nurse from six years prior are making him have seconds thoughts and he breaks up with Momo in the hopes of rekindling the love that he had with the school nurse.

Momo realizing what she is losing desperately talks
Kiley out of it and is very passionate about it this by far was a remembering line from the volume she has no problems playing second best for the time being but how long will it be until she is no longer needed by Kiley?

Onec again this volume is filled with many storylines Momo \
Kiley, Sae\ Toji, Sae \ Kiley's older brother at times you see the veyr best of Momo and what makes her so great and other times you see her at her worse in terms of emotions. I'd say not as bad as the last volume and how she took the breakup with Toji. With the series coming to a close shortly in another 8 or so episodes the show is starting to pick up where you left with what will be with Momo and Kiley.

Pros: New characters are introduced and play a large role in the overall story.
Secondary characters are thrust into the storyline to add more questions to the story

Cons: Same story logic is used many stories are derived from over-reacting and assuming

Volume Rating: 7 / 10
