ピーチボーイリバーサイド [Peach Boy Riverside]

A dark fantasy reimagining of the classic Japanese folktale, Peach Boy Riverside follows the warrior princess Saltorine as she journeys through a world overrun by demons, wielding the legendary power of the Peach. Published by Kōdansha from 2016 to 2024, this 16-issue series is most associated with writer Coolkyousinnjya, known for blending mythic violence with sharp character dynamics. It matters for its subversive take on the "Momotaro" legend, turning a familiar hero's journey into a morally complex saga of prejudice, power, and the true cost of peace.
