Little Fluffy Gigolo PELU is a comic tale of a cute extraterrestrial creature that comes to Earth determined to find himself true happiness in the form of a human bride. Our hero's search takes him from the surface of his fantastic alien planet to an off- kilter modern Japan where Pelu meets aspiring singers, sassy girls, paint- sniffing bad boys, and the body- switching students of a mysterious high school. Artist Junko Mizuno unleashes her unique graphic storytelling sensibilities on a tale that's frequently adorable, sometimes grotesque, and surprisingly moving.
