Valente #2
Vincent Book Two: Heartbreak and Parties 101
Fabio Moon (Daytripper, How to Talk to Girls at Parties) says "It is so good reading VINCENT, by Vitor Cafaggi, that when it ends it leaves you longing for more." In this hip, beautiful illustrated series, populated with an irresistible anthropomorphic cast of characters, things are really heating up for Vincent. It wasn't too long ago that he could only dream about being in a serious relationship, and suddenly finding himself involved with not one, but two incredible females. He's made his decision to get serious with Princess, and to just be friends with Lady. That's fine until Princess leaves for college. If it wasn't hard enough to maintain such a long distance relationship, Vincent's just got a call from Princess, saying "We need to talk." Can parties, RPG, and cheese empanadas ease Vincent's pain as he starts college life alone and confused?

This is the second book in the Vincent comic strip saga which follows Vincent navigating his love life and hanging out with his best friend Bu and other RPG playing friends.
This installment was even cuter than the first. I loved watching Vincent try to figure out his love life and how to navigate it. I still love his inner dialogue and how quirky he is. I'm excited for the next installment to see where Vincent is lead next!

'Vincent Book Two' with words and art by Vitor Cafaggi with translation by Jeff Whitman is a series of comics about a guy who is unlucky in love. It's also about playing rpgs too.
When we last met Vincent, he had chosen Princess to be his girlfriend, and not Lady. When Princess goes to Australia, she calls the whole thing off, leaving Vincent heartbroken. He finds Lady has also moved on. What's a lovelorn guy supposed to do? Vincent starts looking for a new love and with some good and bad advice from his friends, it just might happen, but with Vincent, things are never as easy as they should be.
This is a fun series and Vincent and his friends are a fun bunch of characters. The story is pretty funny and heartfelt and the art is good. I especially liked the hyper-real art in some of the rpg fantasy sequences.

Esopo: “Então quer dizer que você tá namorando...”
Valente: “Aham...”
Esopo: “É... vou ter que ligar pro pessoal do RPG avisando que perdemos mais um homem.”
Valente: “Não, Esopo. De modo algum! Você não vai precisar fazer isso, não... Eu mesmo já liguei pra todos eles avisando!”

Valente is one of my favourite stories in the Brazilian literature! It should be a tv show! <3

I liked this more than the first volume. I think it's because now that we know the characters, we can spend more time on their relationships and what they are thinking. I like learning more about the history between Vincent and his chimp bestie as well as the misadventures of Vincent's RPG playing friends.
It was a pleasant surprise to me when Vincent turned to self improvement instead of self pity or bitterness.

First book of the series that I read, but thanks to the summary at the beginning of the volume, I wasn't lost ! ^^
I found the story cute and sweet. We follow Vincent and his love problems, always punctuated by these inner reflections.
The only problem I had in my reading is the volume of texts compared to the images, which is quite heavy and condensed.
In short, a nice reading! ^^

Here's the second book of the graphic novel from the Vincent series. It seems that our furry lover boy here is still obsessed and confused when it comes to romantic relationships. But I'm really hoping that he finds true love and doesn't chase it so much. 🥺💔 I totally enjoyed his RPG friends. They had their own personalities but they all got together really well especially in the name of RPG.

This is a good continuation of Vincent's life in Book One, which ended in disaster. Unlike the first volume, this one spent more time showing Vincent not as a chaotic romantic but as a college kid starting to explore life. There was more of a friendship/RPG aspect to it, which I enjoyed. The humor blended beautifully with the romance, too.
As always, I love the illustrations.

Valente is a comic book series by artist Vitor Cafaggi, where the characters are anthropomorphized animals and the protagonist is the super cute and gentle dog "Valente", which titles the comics. Valente's first publications took place in 2010 on Vitor's own website and later in the newspaper "O Globo". In 2011 the collection of passionate doguinho was released independently.
In 2013 Vitor released the second volume "Valente para Todos" which was awarded the same year with the HQ Mix Trophy, the third volume was also awarded the following year, both in the "best strip publication" category. The comics that make up Valente's collection are: Valente forever (independent, 2011; Panini, 2013, already reviewed here); Valente for all (independent, 2012; Panini, 2013); Valente by choice (Panini, 2013); Valente whatever comes and goes (Panini, 2014); Valente, where did you go? (Panini, 2017); Valente for you (Panini, 2020).
The second volume is just as cute as the first and I can't wait to read and review the third one. The construction of Valente's character is very charming and pleasant and this second volume continues with the quality we saw in the first volume, this is very good, as it makes me want to continue with Valente.
Valente para Todos will narrate the love affairs of the little dog who is confused and torn between two lovers, Dama the kitten and the Princess, a panda bear. Choose your favorite and hope that Valente makes the right choice. But is there the right person? Very cool to see the flaws and successes of each character, it gets closer to reality remembering that no one is perfect.
In addition to this great impasse in Valente's life, he is finishing high school, whoever has gone through this knows that more choices must be made, which is unfair for people so young to decide on things that will affect the rest of their lives. The nerd friends of the Valiant's RPG group are the comedic reliefs, not that Valente himself isn't either, the story of how Valente and his best friend, Little Monkey Bu, first meeting is hilarious. Super worth reading between more difficult reads.

I think I preferred this middle volume to the first in the trilogy, but that's partly down to familiarity. Now I'm completely on board with the teenaged kid struggling with girls, especially when life always gives him two major choices at any one time. I still think it is a little too heavy on the word count, and a little less archness wouldn't hurt, but the strip reads very well, and knowing there's only a third and final part to come perhaps helps my anticipation for the rest. The only quibble I would have is that it doesn't really smack of a 17-year old's problems, for he reads a lot younger. Still, his innocent charm is the selling point here, so we must live with it. Roll on Book Three.

Emotional roller coaster
That dog is added again! I enjoy myself with you Vincent after volume one and colony and romance he's getting bigger, funnier, and emotional. Definitely getting the final volume.
