Tenshi Densetsu Wedding Peach is a Japanese series
created by Tomita Sukehiro and Yazawa Nao in 1995.
The manga spanned six standard tankoubon and one special
volume, while the ever popular anime adaptation ran
for 51 television episodes with a four-episode OAV
(Wedding Peach DX) following after the conclusion
of the TV series. Both anime and manga have subsequently
been released in English, with the anime licensed
by ADV Films and the manga by Viz Media. Although
the current fanbase for Wedding Peach is
rather small, the series was immensely popular in
Japan over a decade ago and still maintains a loyal
US fanbase.
Wedding Peach tells the story
of twelve-year old Hanasaki Momoko, an average girl
whose life is turned upside down when devils appear
and try to steal her ruby ring. It is when the devils
attack that Momoko discovers she is in fact the love
angel Wedding Peach, a holy warrior whose job it is
to protect love within the human world from certain
demonic destruction. The evil Reine Devila has plans
to crush the angels forever- can Momoko and her friends
save the day with the power of love?
Although the basic story behind Wedding
Peach is standard magicl girl fare, the enduring
motifs of love and friendship continue to be relevant
for young girls today. Momoko's tale is one which
maintains its charm regardless of age, whether you
enjoy it for its magical escapism or its modern Romeo
and Juliet edge.
This website focuses on the fourth love
angel to appear in the Wedding Peach series,
Angel Salvia (Ohara Scarlet). A sassy sword-wielding
agent from the heavens, Salvia walks the fine line
between "friend" and "enemy" with
her loner attitude and violent behaviour.
