History Manga / WeddingPeach

* CoyGirlishFlirtPose: The girls are prone to this around guys they like.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: In the manga, Potamos befriends the Love Angels in their civilian identities, steals Momoko's transforming compact, and immediately tries to kill them. This is especially notable as this was ''after'' they'd found all of the Sacred Four Somethings, but as Potamos points out, they'd be no threat if they couldn't transform.

* DispelMagic: There's the power to negate devil powers: possession, illusion, mind control etc. will be dispelled with her "Lovely Operation Tempete".

Manga/WeddingPeach is a MagicalGirlWarrior manga and anime mixed-media project, centered around a wedding [[{{Motifs}} motif]] and overseen in both entities by Sukehiro Tomita, known for being a major writer on the ''Anime/SailorMoon'' series. The manga, created by Nao Yazawa, ran for 6 volumes; the anime by {{Creator/KSS}} and Creator/OLMIncorporated ran for 51 episodes. The series, particularly the anime, is often compared to ''Sailor Moon'' moreso than other MagicalGirl series, partially due to their shared writer and character designer.

* AlternateCharacterReading: The name "Hiromi Kawanami" was originally written 川浪ひろみ in the manga, but the 浪 was changed to 波 for the anime (both are read "''nami''" and mean "wave"). This was because the first kanji was not in the Japanese Ministry of Education's elementary school curriculum guidelines, and thus would be an unfamiliar kanji for the elementary school audience.

The anime has a fairly interesting history in Japan, especially as Creator/OLMIncorporated's first work (by its Team OTA, which would go on to be the main core behind the original ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}'' anime). The series received a huge amount of backlash from ''Sailor Moon'' fans who considered it a ripoff, despite most of them [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch having never even watched the show in question]], and gained a negative reputation because of it. However, the anime's high animation production values attracted professional critics who ended up calling it a "hidden masterpiece", leading to some initial CriticalDissonance. Ultimately, the work ended up [[VindicatedByHistory redeeming itself]] and becoming a TropeCodifier for many aspects of modern magical girl anime such as ''Anime/PrettyCure'', and OLM's resulting popularity in the industry led it to create the ''Pokémon'' anime.

The series is near unknown in the West due to the fact it never aired on a children's network in the US, and it still carries a negative stigma of it being a ''Sailor Moon'' ripoff there. That said, it's not a victim of NoExportForYou; the manga was licensed in full by Creator/VIZMedia (though it's now currently [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes out of print]]) while the anime was licensed and dubbed by Creator/ADVFilms.

It's a fairly standard MagicalGirl show full of stock {{Shojo}} tropes, but despite being subject to FollowTheLeader itself the anime in fact may have had influences on the MagicalGirl genre in Japan more so than ''Anime/SailorMoon'' did in certain ways; while ''Anime/SailorMoon'' was responsible for codifying the MagicalGirl genre as a whole, ''Wedding Peach'' boosted certain elements popular to the genre, particularly the MagicalGirlWarrior and PinkHeroine (and other stereotypes associated with magical girls with certain colors) tropes. Despite this, it maintains a near-unknown presence in the West.

** The fact that this concept is such an anchor of the show is one of its biggest criticisms among feminist circles, mainly that the basic premise of the show equates female happiness to falling in love and getting married. Although in the series proper the girls don't express the sentiment of dreaming about getting married much more than other works in shoujo and its emphasis is more on the importance of love rather than its necessity for female happiness, the fact that it prominently uses wedding dresses as a MagicalGirl form and that its opening song is all about dreaming about marriage has turned off quite a few prospective audience members. Yazawa's [[http://www.geocities.jp/yazawanet/momo/faq6.htm statement]] on the reason for the show's motif:
-->'''Yazawa:''' After all, the concept came from Wedding; girls love wedding and dresses (included wedding dresses of course. I know it could be issues, but true), so we wanted to add wedding/dress elements to magical fighter girls' manga/anime. The idea "fighting brides" were amusing, so we thought children enjoyed it simply and teenagers could be amused with it.

* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: A few characters comment that the very tomboyish Hinagiku might have trouble getting a boyfriend because of her personality. In the manga, she herself doesn't show any particular signs of believing this (although she does briefly agonize about the fact she doesn't have a boyfriend [[spoiler:prior to her reincarnation]], but an anime episode does have her mildly concerned about it. [[spoiler:The guy who ultimately does become her boyfriend doesn't seem to mind.]]

** [[spoiler:A pair of hand-crafted blue earrings that Yuri's grandfather made for her grandmother]] ("something blue").

** In the manga, [[spoiler:a tiara Scarlett's mother had that she used for a play, which she eventually wore it for her wedding]] ("something new"). Although the object is in the anime, its origin is not explained.

** [[spoiler:A pendant; in the manga, it's a pendant that Hinagiku's mother received from her father that Hinagiku herself is given by her mother, while in the anime a friend who was originally going to wear it for her marriage lets her "borrow it forever"]] ("something borrowed").

* ButNotTooForeign: Scarlett Ohara is half Japanese, and Yuri is a quarter French. The latter's grandmother and her marriage to a Japanese man serves as the background as to how the "something blue" of the Saints Something Four came to be.

* MacGuffin: The Sacred Four Somethings, which are based on an old rhyme about what a bride should wear on her wedding day for good luck (notably, the manga/anime was produced during a time when Western traditions were slowly starting to become more popular in Japanese weddings). Each one hosts vast magical powers that can tip fortunes to either the angels' or the devils' favor. When bought together, they can make a HolyHandGrenade. The four objects are:
** [[spoiler:The wedding ring that Momoko's mother Sakura was given]] ("something old").
** [[spoiler:A pair of hand-crafted blue earrings that Yuri's grandfather made for her grandmother]] ("something blue").
** [[spoiler:A pendant; in the manga, it's a pendant that Hinagiku's mother received from her father that Hinagiku herself is given by her mother, while in the anime a friend who was originally going to wear it for her marriage lets her "borrow it forever"]] ("something borrowed").

* OldNewBorrowedAndBlue: The Saint Something Four/Sacred Four Somethings (it provides the page image).

* BerserkButton: For the latter half of the manga, regarding Yousuke: [[spoiler:do not hurt or threaten Momoko, because [[SuperPoweredEvilSide things will ''not'' end well for you]]]].

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:In the anime, Yousuke has this happen to him when his half-devil gene starts to manifest and turn him into Viento. Since Rain Devila is the queen and his devil gene has awakened he's only following Rain Devila's twisted orders as a result of his devil gene, which persists as long as the gene gives him IdentityAmnesia. This doesn't happen in the manga, where it's more along the lines of MoreThanMindControl.]]

* DramaticIrony: In the manga, [[spoiler:previous-life Daisy]] agonizes that she wants a boyfriend, and Salvia scolds her by saying that she'll never get one even in a hundred years because of her masculine personality. [[spoiler:Of course, the audience is well aware by this point that after she's reincarnated 100 years later as Hinagiku, Takuro, who's into her regardless of (or perhaps because of) her masculinity, will end up confessing to her, and the two will eventually enter a relationship.]]
