PLOT
The plot is simple: girl has a secret crush on boy, other boy has a (not so secret) crush on her. The famous love triangle. But the story gets much more complicated than this and it often leaves you surprised as this movie has some really good plot-twists. At times I even found it too fast-faced: in some scenes I was confused and didn't really understand what was going on. But don't worry, everything becomes clear just after a bit.
CHARACTERS:
Kairi was my favorite: so genuinely nice and thoughtful behind his clown-of-the-class appearance. He comes from a troubled family situation, with his mom being absent (dead I suppose?) and his dad being disappointed by him, and I'm glad he didn't get affected by this becoming a "bad boy", which is usually what happens in movies and dramas similar to this. Also I really enjoyed the fact that his dream is to become a pastry chef, which is something I had never seen before.
Honestly, I don't have much to say about the other characters: Adachi was nice but nothing special, same goes for Toji, who's definetly attractive but not so exciting. Last, Sae: soooo annoying and the perfect villain, the classic "mean girl". I hated how kind Adachi was to her despite the amount of bad things her so-called-friend had done to her, but I can turn a blind eye on that since Sae got her redemption at the end and became a better person.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Overall I found it a very sweet and cute love story, definitely enjoyable. This will leave you with a smile on your face and it'll make you feel cuddly inside. Would recommend!
(Just keep in mind that this isn't a masterpiece but just a simple fluffy movie and that sometimes it can get a bit cringey)

In whole movie ,i didn't find her(1st lead) arrogant ,she fight for her rights and second lead actor helps her a lot .First i thought they both are lead couple and they look cute together but they separated and now she paired with first lead but i don't like their pairng but it is ok because story was going good but again misunderstanding and previous one come together then misunderstanding clear so afterone come together .totally jumbled story .
I have so many why after watching this movie.
1. Why first lead actress went alone to save her friend ,she knew very well that it was dangerous why her boyfriend accompany her ,it is a common sense
2.at last when she told 1st lead actor that go and listen to your heart then why he didn't clear her misunderstanding and let her go .
3.then 1st lead actor at the last scene said to his brother girlfriend that he really love her and leave his brother as he is not a good man so it is shown like he really love her but at the very end it was shown his only love was first lead actress .so much confusion .

The main turnoff for me was actually the acting. It made the whole story less credible. The only good actor was Nagano Mei and she played a secondary role. But I guess it is quite understandable since Inoo Kei is quite new to acting and Yamamoto Mizuki is mainly a model. Thus, overall, the cast choice wasn't that great and it deflates the value of the story itself.
I had high hopes for this movie since the manga is so famous but :/ I was honestly disappointed.

"Peach girl" is a cute and sweet movie. The plot is a little bit confusing, there aren't any cliffhangers at all but you can't expect much from a shojo manga of this kind.
Mackenyu is a sweetie but his character is a pain in the ass, plain and without guts.
Keii's one is adorable and for the first time, I actually saw a boy who is more concern about his crush's happiness than his own one.
"You have to fight, even play dirty, if you want to get the girl." This clique didn't happen here.
True, this cute movie is FULL of cliques, misunderstandings and predictable scenes, but at least the two males wanted the girl to be truly happy and didn't pressure her to make a decision.
I'll mark it 6 out of 10, not a fan of this "sweet" shojo manga, but it was kind of good and not that terrible.
