![]() The English-language Wedding Peach manga volumes are not currently in print and there is no current licensee for Yazawa’s manga in English. ![]() ![]() The licensing of Wedding Peach was a little unexpected in this context and the release met with a mixed reception, not dissimilar to the reception the anime would receive in the US six+ months later. While VIZ Media is known now for having a fairly expansive manga lineup across many genres today, in 2003 it had very few shoujo titles in its catalogue, even fewer of them overtly “magical” in nature. However, in the end, ADV Films nabbed the anime series for home video release in 2004. The manga licensing announcement came before the anime licensing announcement, so for a period during 2003, there was a lot of speculation about whether the anime would be picked up by VIZ Media as well. The first volume hit shelves in July of 2003 before concluding in July 2004 with the release of the Young Love special volume. The Wedding Peach manga series by Yazawa Nao was licensed for North American retail sale in mid-2003 by VIZ Media, with the original announcement made at the company’s ACen panel that year.
