''[[Peepo Choo]]'' is a satirical manga by Felipe Smith. It was one of the first manga series ever to be written and drawn by a mangaka from outside East Asia, but first published in Japanese by a Japanese publisher. It was first published in serial form in the magazine ''Morning Two'', and then in three collected volumes.
The series is a [[Dead Baby Comedy|rude and ultraviolent satire]] on US-Japanese mutual cultural misunderstanding. [[Black and Nerdy|African-American otaku]] Milton is a crazed fan of the anime and manga series ''Peepo Choo'', and is wildly overjoyed when he wins a trip to Japan in a raffle at his local comic shop, believing that the country is nerd heaven. His boss at the comic shop, Jody, despises Milton but hopes that Milton's command of Japanese will help him get laid by [[Me Love You Long Time|hot Japanese girls]]. What neither of them know is that the whole trip is an excuse for their boss Gill, who has a secret life as international hitman and unstoppable killing machine "Fate", to do a hit.
In Japan the characters are mirrored by Reiko, a cynical teenage gravure idol fed up with her work, Reiko's [[Fan Girl|otaku girl]] friend Miki, Morimoto "Rockstar", a psychotic gangster obsessed with his own idea of African-American gangsta culture
Not unexpectedly, things get messy.
