Little Fluffy Gigolo Pelu, by Junko Mizuno

Little Fluffy Gigolo Pelu, by Junko Mizuno, 168 pages

As a fan of most things Japanese, manga-related, and cutesy-in-general, I feel comfortable saying that this book was weird.  Pelu is a little fluffy "something" (you can see him wearing a bow tie in the cover picture) who runs around on a planet full of naked women.  One day, one of the women pops out a baby (literally) and the question of how babies are made is raised.  Here is how it is explained: on this planet, there are two little pelus inside every woman, and when they mate, they create a baby, which then just pops out of the women.  Pelu was rescued from a dying woman's body, and raised as a child.  Pelu feels betrayed, and embarks on a mission to find a woman on Earth with whom he (it?) can have a baby.  Several disastrous relationships ensue.  The art is stylized and well-done, which was why I requested this, but I'm not sure the story is quite compelling enough to read any more of it...
