Peridot is a truly fascinating manga, despite its lack of widespread recognition. It revolves around the enigmatic Mahiru, a girl who adheres to the principle of exerting no more effort than necessary in her actions and avoiding involvement with people or matters that don't directly concern her. However, her perspectives gradually shift as she recovers fragments of her past while collaborating with two other (attractive) high school girls, Akira and Kaede. Together, they navigate through scandals and confront groups of delinquents both within and outside their school.
The storyline is divided into numerous short narratives that follow the main characters as they attempt to inject excitement into their otherwise monotonous lives and pass the time between classes (which they often skip). These stories also introduce all the characters in the plot while progressively unveiling more about the mysterious Mahiru and her history as the narrative progresses. Mahiru and her companions experience the peak years of high school battling perverted old men, aspiring gangsters, delinquents, and individuals who simply cannot accept their inevitable defeat.
While Mahiru's group strives to transform their mundane lives into ones filled with daily excitement (with Mahiru being less enthusiastic about this endeavor), the story is rich with intense and high-quality combat scenes. These begin as early as the first chapter when Mahiru mercilessly defeats a group of delinquents who had attempted to assault Akira the previous night. Anyone who enjoys reading Seinen mangas featuring girls engaging in martial arts battles and physical confrontations (with a touch of ecchi, of course) should definitely consider giving this series a try.
