Amid this bounty of beauty, she also has a mind to explore the female body, the premise of this book lending itself to showcasing many nude characters, and throwing in some violence and blood for good measure. She has cutesy, well-designed houses, food, characters, animals, trees.anything and everything she decides to put to paper is thought out for maximum effect to become uber-cute, such as a hippo covered in stars or a house with lovely, swirling vines and flowers growing all around it.

Ultimately, the success of this book comes down to Junko Mizuno's amazing design aesthetic. This premise also allows Mizuno to cut loose with drawing naked women en mass, and come up with crazy cool looks for different towns and people. I'm giving Mizuno a pass though because I think the big draw for her audience is her art, and if these offbeat stories featuring a horny puffball from a uterus allows her to draw the types of stories in the type of weird, surreal environments she wishes to maneuver her characters through, then so be it. It really speaks to Mizuno's imagination that she can come up with such odd stories, but I'm not a fan of something being weird for the sake of being weird. This is one strange manga, as Pelu himself was pulled from the corpse of a half-eaten women and is part of that woman's reproductive system? Okay. He travels to earth via a Space Hippo's magic mirror to try to find a bride, because more than anything, Pelu wants to have a baby (because it's what all of the humanoid women that populate his planet want to do). Little Fluffy Gigolo Pelu is an adults only manga that features a cute little puffball from planet Princess Kotobuki. One is for kids: Domo: The Manga, while the other is for mature audiences only (despite appearances): Little Fluffy Gigolo Pelu. And oddly enough, they're for completely different audiences. This week for Manga Monday, I'm pairing together two manga that feature little furry creatures, be it alien or.other.
