Peach-Pit (ピーチ・ピット,Pīchi Pitto) is a femalemanga artist duo in Japan, made up ofBanri Sendo (千道 万里,Sendō Banri) andShibuko Ebara (えばら 渋子,Ebara Shibuko). Their group name derives from the diner hangout Peach-Pit from the TV showBeverly Hills, 90210.[1] Although both have similar styles, with some artwork it is possible to identify which artist drew it. Both are known for theirbishōjo styled works.
The two of them grew up together and went to the same elementary school and have been best friends ever since. Both started asdōjinshi manga artists, but not as Peach-Pit. Then they were scouted byDengeki Comic Gao!.[1] In 2008, one of their manga,Shugo Chara!, was awarded theKodansha Manga Award for best children's manga. Shugo Chara was also turned later into ananime television series.
A review of Peach Pit's work states; "What sets Shugo Chara! above other manga aimed at a younger audience is the underlying message that the mangakas incorporated. In the manga, the main characters work hard to protect other children and never give up on their dreams." This is seen as an encouragement by the authors to "search out your potential, realize your dreams, and support the dreams of your friends is a powerful and positive topic. It can inspire people of any age, as shown in the story."
