Main character goes to school and also shows off her ferret that she really likes and she wants the attention for. Turns out everybody likes animals and doesn't really care about her. Main character gets upset over this and decides to have a fit over this because she is a child. No I'm not saying she's acting childish she is literary a child.

I have minor issues with the fact that we still have a child raising an exotic pet that takes special care and if Peach ever put in her mouth any small object she would choke to death and die. No, seriously ferrets often die from eating something as small as a pencil eraser and it getting stuck in their intestines and killing them. Seeing Peach wander around without anybody intervening or making sure she doesn't pop something small in her mouth makes me nervous and feels like now in hindsight I can say this is abad influence for anybody who reads it and doesn't know proper ferret care and then wants to get a ferret.

The main character gets so jealous of her ferret getting more attention than her that she basically puts on a fursuit. She goes to school dressed as a ferret and wearing a fur suit. I don't know if I really should say that this is stuck in the 2000s a second time I set it on the first part but this is some 2000's energy.

I can ignore the artist being a furry artist and also drawing free not safe for work and stuff but I can't ignore the idea of drawing kids in fursuits going to school just to one up their pet ferret. The manga is just getting ridiculous at this point and we're only two issues in.

Also fursuits are really expensive, like really expensive. I know I'm exaggerating and it's not really a fursuit but it's hard to put that kind of stuff together and for it to just happen like this makes me very confused. But then again she has enough money to afford an exotic pet and somehow keep it alive while it's being mishandled and misrepresented. *Shrugs in unrealistic manga things*

I feel like the nostalgia clouding my brain is the only reason this isn't a two-star read, I remember experiencing this as it was coming out and how I loved it and now I even talk about it positively but when I look at it nowadays, it's not what I remember, nor what I talk about. I speak of a thing that is how I remember it, not how it actually is.
I feel like what I talk about when I mention Peachfuzz is an entirely different entity now than what actually was this series. The memory lives outside of the manga and looms as a ghost.

I still recommend reading it because it's one of the best animal mangas just because there's not a lot of animal mangas especially ones about ferrets. But it's inaccurate content irregardless.

Amanda's mother agrees to let the lonely little girl have a pet, but she chooses a ferret who bites! Has she made the wrong choice? All ages.

FROM AMAZON: Amanda is a lonely little girl. Her mother means well, but doesn't have a lot of time for a 9-year-old and, after plenty of begging from Amanda, agrees to let her have a pet. Amanda chooses a ferret (and names her Peach) because ferrets aren't ordinary and, darn it, neither is she! It seems like Amanda finally has the friend she's needed ... but Peach sees Amanda's hands as five-serpent monsters -- and bites in what she thinks of as self-defense!… (altro)

Cute and meaningful, focusing on the responsibilities of pet ownership - passing this on to my son in hopes that he WON'T want a ferret and WILL clean out the kitten's litter box. This is probably going to backfire on me...

One of the better things to come out of Deviantart media works. Not that there haven't been a lot of wonderful works that have happened on Devon art and come from Devon art, it's just a lot of the comics from there are very lackluster and bland. Not that this one is excellent or breaking the mold it has its own little lackluster moments and is mostly fixated on a cute ferret being there to distract you from all the problems.

Peach is a ferret and she does ferret things. She's for some reason scared. Things like hands are monsters and everything around her is a monster and everything is in her imagination. This is cute for this series but only for the first book.

One of the main problems I have is the portrayal of ferrets is incorrect. Ferrets are very bold and wild creatures that are hunters. A lot of the time Peach is portrayed as being nervous, scared, skittering away and hiding. Ferrets are warriors they are tiny creatures that hunt things bigger than them and no no fear. It's part of the mustelid family and maybe that's the problem I had most with this. The animal does not act like it's actual animal counterpart.

While this series is highly anime-styled, it's original and definitely worth a read. It stays relatively along the lines of Hamtaro minus a big cast of characters. Literally I think there's ten at most throughout this whole thing? And they're almost all humans. Eh.

I found the story to be very stunted, it mostly stays inside of Peach's head, almost every adventure is just her imagination and when that's totally starts to run out it doesn't have the charm it should. Hamtaro at least had them go unreal adventures and maybe that's where this series fails.

I felt like I was supposed to feel more for this character but these pages are very bland and it really feels dated to the 2000s in hindsight. While Hamtaro is forever, Peachfuzz is locked in the 2000s. I don't know if the artist still does anything or even has moved on and started their own new project, I hope them the best but I honestly can say that if they abandon this project it wasn't a bad decision.
