Shugo Chara by Peach Pit 

04/02/2012 Categories: manga

Shugo CharaA young girl has many insecurities that she hides behind her cool and popular exterior. She soon sets out on a quest to show people who she really is. Shugo Chara is a great book for children who have insecurities because the characters deal with many types of problems that kids have today. The book is very relatable because Amu Hinamori is a very shy girl who wants to be more outgoing. I recommend it for people who are dealing with personal issues.

Shugo-Chara! Peach-Pit

Shugo Chara coverAmu is a girl who is slightly awkward with an automatically hostile personality, as well as a giant crush on the school's prince, Tadase. One night, she wishes to be reborn as her would-be self and awakens to three eggs on her bed. They hatch to reveal her Guardian Characters, who help her to become her ideal personality and push her into Tadase's world. I read this series a while ago when I was still in middle school. Back then, I liked the series a lot. It was peppy, optimistic, and was encouraging and uplifting for younger kids. Now, as a high schooler, I find the series elementary and the protagonist annoying. Girls just starting out in manga, or girls in middle school would enjoy it. If you're looking for a more mature plotline with more substance, look elsewhere.
