There is a Volume of Wedding Peach called Wedding Peach Young Love. http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/59BoKHuOwupaV7X85k/browse/item/63494/4/0/0

This is a different version of the orginal Wedding Peach with slightly younger characters.

I was wondering why it wasn't in the Encyclopedia and I thought that I'd let you know.

Thank you.

The answer is quite simple: we don't work here 24 hours a day (although "all days" already). And I just barely recovered from colitis that basically destroyed my weekend (still having mild fever at 37.5°C right now).

Even if we do, it has been among ~600 manga titles waiting to be approved, and some verification works must be performed. While you might say "hey I already gave you a link at TRSI!" it simply wasn't enough. The following titles are particularly difficult to verify:

Hentai (18+) titles, anime or manga, as licensors often translate and alter the title significantly. Most time we can only rely on box/cover arts to confirm their identity.
Yaoi / shonen-ai manga, 18+ or not. See above for reasons.
Titles aimed at young children. There was a "movie" named "Kirby: Fright to the Finish!" and it bothered me for quite some time, for no matter how hard I looked there was no respective information about this "movie" ever being screened publicly in Japan. Turned out it was a combination of the last three episodes of the TV series, and it was no "movie" at all -- available through video only.
Long manga/anime series that licensors chose to "split" for whatever reason. Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World, Peach Girl: Change of Heart, you name it.
Obscure manga that came out from nowhere.

Wedding Peach: Young Love was also a tricky case, as the original manga had four spinoff/retellings on Yōchien (kindergarten), Shōgaku Ichinensei (1st grader), Shōgaku Sannensei (3rd grader), and Shōgaku Yonensei (4th grader), respectively. After consulting Wikipedia and a diehard WP fan (a guy btw...) it became clear that Viz had licensed ONLY the Sannensei version illustrated by the same manga-ka of the original one (serialized in Ciao). This Sannensei version seems never collected into tankōbun in Japan; instead, the Yonensei version was later published separately under the name 愛天使伝説ウェディングピーチ愛天使誕生編 (Ai Tenshi Densetsu Wedding Peach: Ai Tenshi Tanjō-hen || The Birth of the Angel of Love).

Anyway, it has been approved by now. Enjoy.
