WATANABE Peko

Outline

14-year-old NOMURA Makoto (♀) spends her days doing original dances, practicing cooking, making a first-time adult-oriented video, moving in girlish social circles and suffering delusional heartbreak. The everyday scenery is like that of a carousel. WATANABE Peco portrays this solid and outstanding manga featuring boys and girls and occasionally adults with freshness and exceptional love.
