Young Momoko Hanasaki, who dreams of getting married like her mother. In one moment, she is mooning over the captain of her soccer team. In the next scene, she is fighting evil as a magical girl. She enlists the help of her friends Angel Light and Angel Daisy to complete the mission. Will they be able to defeat Rain Devilla and her accomplices?
Can love triumph over evil? Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, knows for certain!
This manga is an outdated magical girl story. I enjoyed reading this story. This book is just what you would expect if you crossed Sailor Moon with weddings! Featuring pretty dresses, girl power and a lot of love. This cute manga will delight you!

There is one part of the story where I felt the story was weak: the selection of Momoko as a magical girl. Here, one villain witnessed her before the goddess Aphrodite chose her. There is another problem with this story: Aphrodite herself.
As I understand it, she is a goddess of love and everything else. How does she relate to the Christian theme? An angel is more of a christian concept than a Greek concept, like a white wedding and being called an angel. Story-wise, it makes little sense.
Wedding Peach really appealed to me. The love Momoko had for her friend and the dream of getting married were the reasons for her choice. As her mother did, she wants to have a happy ending with her true love. It is Momoko’s desire to save her friends’ lives that makes her a magical girl, although she does not want to be a magical girl.
Because of the heroine’s love for her friend, I believe people will enjoy wedding peach. Momoko’s journey to save her friends is a heartwarming story that is sure to bring joy to readers. The story emphasizes the importance of friendship and the power of love. Wedding Peach is a captivating story that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
It’s fun and an enjoyable read despite these small tropes. You’ll enjoy it as long as you understand it is almost like a simplified version of Sailor Moon.
