Sweet Paprika #1
Mirka Andolfo's Sweet Paprika #1
Paprika is a successful businesswoman, a New Yorker of Italian origin. Job and career consume her, forcing her to neglect her personal needs as well as her friends and family. Her heart is broken from a previous relationship and its consequences, and a rigid upbringing has made her a very introverted person. She wants a romantic relationship, but she doesn’t know what she’s doing. Not like Dill, a naïve and suave delivery boy with an angelic attitude, handsome, and always surrounded by beautiful women falling for him. He doesn’t have a worry in the world, and this makes Paprika very nervous. But he's the guy who could help her with her feelings (and with...sex). Bridget Jones’s Diary meets Sex and the City, with a pinch of The Devil Wears Prada in the new international hit by acclaimed creator MIRKA ANDOLFO (UNNATURAL, MERCY).

I haven’t liked any comics I’ve read since last year and it’s making me mad.
The art was fun in this one but what even was the story? That and the dialogue/layout were a total mess 🤷🏻♀️

Ani złe ani dobre. Fajny pomysł, ale trochę bez ładu I składu. Jej poprzednie komiksy były lepsze, ale zobaczymy może kolejny tom będzie lepszy.

I first became of Mirka Andolfo’s work in the pages of her creator owned horror series, Mercy. Well, no, that can’t be right, because I was already following her on social media, but I digress… Mercy was incredibly good, but this is a completely different kind of comic…and yet equally good, if not better.
See, I first saw Sweet Paprika quite a while ago, on Andolfo’s Facebook, and made a mental note to check it out. As the months went by she posted more about the book and I became more interested, and more frustrated that I still couldn’t order it! And then, finally, it was available to order, and so I ordered all six non-ratioed covers…and also a few more variants…and I’ll probably order some more too… BECAUSE I LOVE THIS BOOK!
I mean, I knew I would, if only for Andolfo’s quirky, sexy art style. But there’s so much more to this than good art. You see, what isn’t mentioned in the solicit text above is that Paprika is a devil living in a world of angels and devils. And Dill is an angel. And as much as Paprika is deeply unsatisfied with her like, so is Dill. Because when Dill tries to invite a woman out to dinner after hooking up with her she brushes him off. See, what they’re both looking for is a connection with someone, as both of them are living shallow and unfulfilling lives in their own way.
Sweet Paprika is very much a soap in comic form. Yes, the characters are supernatural beings, and a lot of the situations are ridiculous and fantastical, but the drama is grounded. These people seem more than just cartoon fantasies.

Paprika to diablica, która sprawia wrażenie, że ma wszystko. Dobrze płatna praca jako CCO w jednym z najpopularniejszych wydawnictw, która pozwala jej się spełniać finansowo i zawodowo, piękne mieszkanie, ciuchy z najnowszych kolekcji projektantów, posłuch u współpracowników i rodzina, na której może polegać. Mimo wszystko, nie jest zadowolona ze swojego życia. Pod fasadą niezwykle silnej przedsiębiorczyni ukrywa się inna twarz Papriki, której brakuje kontaktów międzyludzkich i bliższych relacji. Winić za to można jej ojca, który podczas jej wychowania wprowadził bardzo rygorystyczne zasady. Szczególnie brakuje jej związku, o którym często marzy, a jej fantazje potrafią przerodzić się w bardziej odważne sytuacje.
Paprika jako główna bohaterka wypada przekonująco. Jej barwny charakter i butną zawodową osobowość świetnie dopełniają fantazje o bliskości z innymi i życiu erotycznym, które usilnie próbuje hamować. Jest to pierwszy tom serii, którą można określić połączeniem Bridget Jones z Seksem w wielkim mieście i Diabeł ubiera się u Prady. Nie brakuje w tym wszystkim świetnej warstwy komediowej, która mimo niekiedy poruszanych ważniejszych i poważniejszych kwestii, nadaje całości komiksu lekkości.
Mimo pozornej komedii, pojawiają się też istotniejsze kwestie. Paprika jest pracoholiczką, a jej życie osobiste na tym cierpi. W zabawny sposób autorka pokazuje też kwestię życia zawodowego w dużej korporacji. Superdrogie lunche jedzone przy biurku, niemożliwe do spełnienia oczekiwania względem pracowników, czy w końcu szef, który mimo powagi jest też ciepłą osobą. Dobre wrażenie dopełnia również warstwa graficzna, która za sprawą użycia odpowiednich kolorów i oryginalnej kreski często dodaje charakteru zarówno scenom komediowym, jak i tym nieco poważniejszym.
Bardzo polecam sięgnąć po ten komiks - myślę, że za sprawą poruszanej tematyki ma szansę spodobać się szerszej publiczności i osobom, które na co dzień nie sięgają po tę formę. Ja świetnie się bawiłem i jestem pewny, że będę kontynuował swoją przygodę z Papriką.

Paprika is a highly successful Chief Creative Officer in the publishing industry, but her introverted nature and years of putting her career over everything else has left her friendless and lonely. On top of that, Paprika's father pushed purity culture on her from a young age, and the trauma from his constant shaming has left her struggling to form romantic relationships. When she finally decides to pursue a relationship with her crush, she ropes in Dill, a sexy delivery boy who has the ability to charm just about everyone, to help her gain some experience in the bedroom... I think you can figure out where this is going!
The artwork is amazing, though the dialogue/plot is sometimes hard to follow. Still, it was a fun read and I love Paprika and Dill. I'll definitely be picking up the next volume!

1. Was Paprika's dad ever a bit controlling when it came to her love life?
2. Was Paprika engaged? Wow 👀
3. The delivery boy, Dill, and his little dog Dill-do, haha
4. Dill is blind, but why are glasses so important to him?
5. He's pretty sassy, and she's pretty frustrated. She's got everything, but she's not having a fun life
Note: i like these alternative covers

Okay okay the art? Fucking spectacular, so expressive, appealing, the shape design and lineart is INSANE. I have and will continue to use it as art inspiration. The story . .......... So so so sexual. Like reading a porno without (much) porn. This was like microdosing on straight desperate and sexually repressed women culture. Not my cup of tea but I honestly can't blame the author for having fun and drawing what she wants. If it was just a story without art tho? 2 stars.

Per quanto il disegno mi piaccia molto, così come l'utilizzo dei colori, al momento la storia non mi ha particolarmente entusiasmata. Vedremo i volumi successivi.

Not bad but not great either. However I see potential in it and I adore the drawings so I will definitely read more.

It will be interesting to see where this goes. An interesting take on the virgin/whore dichotomy.

Według pewnego filmu diabeł ubiera się u Prady. Najwyraźniej jednak nie jest to reguła i niektóre przedstawicielki piekielnej społeczności wolą kolekcje Dolce & Gabbata. Do tego grona zalicza się, chociażby tytułowa Paprika. Demonica, która osiągnęła gigantyczny sukces zawodowy. Na pierwszy rzut oka może się wydawać, że ma ona wszystko. Pieniądze, wpływy, podziw podwładnych, obraca się w wyższych sferach Nowego Jorku. Jest to jednak tylko wierzchnia warstwa makijażu, pod którym skrywa ona swoje prawdziwe oblicze. Mocno wycofanej introwertyczki, która nie potrafi znaleźć sobie partnera. Ogromny wpływ na jej problemy uczuciowe miało dość purytańskie wychowanie przez ojca. Pomimo osobistych problemów ciągle marzy ona o odnalezieniu prawdziwej romantycznej miłości. Uczucia, które chwilami przeradza się w coś bardziej „gorącego” i cielesnego. Jak na młodą i niezaspokojoną diablicę przystało, zdarzają się więc jej chwile słabości, w których oddaje się ona lubieżnym fantazjom.
Sweet Paprika #1 jest więc początkiem naprawdę nieźle zapowiadającej się serii. Cyklu, który jest czymś pomiędzy typową komedią romantyczną a komiksem erotycznym. Obserwowanie jak Paprika poddaje się różnym fantazjom i stara się z nimi jednocześnie walczyć, jest naprawdę zabawne i ciekawe. Z każdą kolejną chwilą rośnie w niej frustracja. Odnosi ona wrażenie, że tylko ona potrafi okiełznać swój popęd, a cała reszta społeczeństwa oddaje się harcom. Tak naprawdę, jest ona jednak jedną z wielu postaci, które szukają prawdziwej miłości i pragną zaspokoić swoje skrywane potrzeby. Obok tego wszystkiego autorka wplata tutaj również nutkę tajemniczości i w mocno prześmiewczy sposób ukazuje zarówno korpo-rzeczywistość, jak i samotność w wielkim mieście.
Artystka jak mało kto potrafi kreślić wyraziste żeńskie postacie, które na bardzo długo zapadają w pamięć i stają się ulubienicami tłumów. Dobrze napisane charaktery to połowa sukcesu, druga część to ich genialna wizualizacja.

ADORO le graphic novel ed è un peccato aver scoperto Mirka Andolfo solo adesso, perché questa signori è un must have!
Divertente, ironica, ma allo stesso tempo affronta temi come il ribellarsi al patriarcato (e quindi all'ideale di donna compita e sottomessa) e il conoscere se stessi.
Qui abbiamo Paprila, una diavoletta di successo e sicura di sé sul lavoro, ma con gravi deficit nella vita privata e sentimentale. Dietro l'armatura da boss lady, c'è una donna insicura e con difficolta a costruire relazioni (di amicizia e non) con altre persone. Incontrerà poi lo strampalato angelo Dill, che gli sconvolgerà inaspettatamente l'esistenza.
Una storia fantastica e ben raccontata (cosa non facile secondo me tramite vignette), con disegni spettacolari in bianco/nero e tocchi di rosa per evidenziare i momenti spicy o romance.
Morale della storia: rendete conto SOLO a voi stessi e fregatevene del giudizio degli altri.
Devo dire che in lei mi ci rivedo molto per parecchi aspetti e non vedo l'ora di proseguire!

Diablica o imieniu Paprika jest CO wielkiej firmy wydawniczej oraz córką swego ojca. Spokojnie można ją nazwać kobietą sukcesu - obrzydliwe bogata, ubrana w najmodniejsze ciuchy i mieszkająca w ogromnym apartamencie ze wszelkimi wygodami. Wydaje się, że ma wszystko ale żadna fortuna, ani praca nie zaspokoi jej popędu seksualnego oraz pożądania - chyba że mowa o traumie.....
☆ CZYSTY PORNOS, nie dość że na papierze to jeszcze w kolorowych obrazkach
☆ oryginalny, ciekawy i nadający charakteru styl artystki
☆ fabuła ogranicza się do myśli o seksie i ruchaniu się z kim popadnie oraz skandali erotycznych
☆ Anioły i Demony w jednym świecie? Oczywiście! Anioły są potulne i czyste, a diabły niepokorne i wyszczekane? Nie! TUTAJ WSZYSCY SĄ NAPALENI I WULGARNI
☆ skromna queerowa reprezentacja
☆ czy wspomniałam już że jest to pornos?
☆ bohaterowie to same ego topy
★ TW: trauma, seks

Comic book fantasy story
Fantasy Illustrated
Paprika is the MC heroine, the monster denizens an allegory about harsh empty lives of celebrities. She's powerful, driven, mean, and lonely, and can't relax because of her fear of disappointing her father. Artwork is flashy, but it's nearly over the top. Interesting but commonly told story, and I'm not sure if I'm sold on the MC herself; the first book is awfully short to cover so much and entice me enough to want to know more about a lonely and emotionally repressed rich girl.
Has potential but the higher cost of illustrated stories when I'm on a budget curbs the enthusiasm. And the delivery boy has her pegged but is also pretty casual with his sex partners. Nothing wrong with that, but the MC needs a sincere approach. May pick up book 2 when finances improve.

Ringrazio la mia amica Elettra per avermi regalato questo fumetto italiano.
Era da tanto che volevo leggerlo e finalmente ho realizzato questo sogno!
Le mie aspettative sono state totalmente rispettate.
La storia di Paprika, la protagonista, è abbastanza complessa anche se non totalmente nuova, infatti ci ritroviamo davanti a una ragazza che sta cercando di trovare sè stessa e l'amore lottando contro la società e quello che le è stato insegnato da un padre che si rivelerà ipocrita.
Nella sua vita ha solamente conosciuto regole e costrizioni che alla fine ha iniziato a imporsi da sola, ma il destino e alcuni incontri (abbastanza spicy) le faranno cambiare questa rigida visione...
Non vedo l'ora di leggere il secondo volume e capire se finalmente Paprika riuscirà a sbloccarsi, consigliato per chi ama il genere!

I wanted to try something new with my graphic novel selection, and this definitely was very different from what I am used to reading. Despite this, I found a comic that is a little rocky but very promising. While the themes were quite crude and raunchy, it is not just for the sake of it. This comic gives a unique and comedic take on recovering from a toxic relationship. I found myself giggling at the various expressions and rooting for my favorite possible couple, so I would say it was a success in that respect. While this isn't a masterpiece, it is a fun junk-food kind of book. I would definitely recommend this one with a grain of salt. Just be aware that this book is intended for adults, and therefore it has partially censored (but still explicit) scenes.

I honestly don't know why I keep picking up Mirka Andolfo's books. I suppose it's the lure of the artwork. The story here makes no sense aside from an uptight little boss demon who is extra horny needing to learn sex? And starts learning from a boy toy delivery guy she hates? Idek. The panelling is a mess, the jokes don't land, and the dialogue is endless and overdone. So much of this book makes zero sense and is everywhere. Its like reading whiplash.

I ended up liking this one a lot more than I thought I would! The art style is nuts and amazingly done. I also really like Paprika; even though she's extremely uptight, it's so clear her "HBIC" demeanor is a cover. This story is extremely raunchy; it fully leans into its "sexiness". Kinda mixed on the angel delivery guy, he reminds me of Johnny Bravo but not an a-hole. I'll keep reading to see where this story goes!

I totally enjoyed getting to know the characters in the story. Not only is our work, extraordinary beautiful but I feel like I could relate to paprika a lot. I am so looking forward to what the next volume has to offer and I’m really hoping that the series continues. Not only is this enough that I am inspired by but truly is something that deserves to be shared. That being said if it’s shared, it needs to be shared with mature people.

I’ve noticed people were confused on the story, yes the story could have been extended more to see more background on her parents but it was straightforward on why they are not together in the second volume cluster of comics.
Sweet paprika is about a late 20’s maybe early 30’s demon who was told that any sexual desires were wrong by her father, to the point she cant express those desires and wants and she is a bitch in the office. The story does feel rushed but I felt it was a good read.

More interesting than I thought
Author really put thought into the story and I’m really happy about that. Art is beautiful and it’s been really fun to read. Looking forward to the other volumes!

I have followed Mirka's artwork for years and I couldn't be more pleased to see her baby done up in Volume One. Paprika, Dill even Burtel, I love them all. A good read that gives off dramatic vibes, but wrapped in sex and high fashion.

Dnf at 75%
I just couldn't read anymore. The artwork was colorful and great, yet somehow cute and awkwardly steamy in parts. The story was just all over the place and parts kept repeating to the point of being annoying. Not worth continuing even to finish.

I expect from others what I expect from myself. That's all. Because I am a young woman and a devil in a world of demons and warrior angels, all locked in an eternal dick-measuring contest.
Oooookay, yes, that was quite refreshing.

Con un dibujo genial y un guion con unos cuantos giros, este arranque de serie nos permite conocer a la prota y los primeros pasos en su camino al éxito. Me ha sorprendido el continuo cambio de diseño, dibujo y color.

a fun little read
It’s a nice twist on angels and demons. Poor little paprika got a daddy so hard pressed that she be great that she’s forgotten (afraid) to do anything else. We’ll see where this goes.

This is one of my first experiences with this type of graphic novel and I loved it more than I expected :). The artwork is great, I love the style, the story is fun, spicy and paranormal. What else would you want?!
Highly recommend this dramedy to everyone.

This sits in the fun quick read category. The art work was really well done and I always love when the same character is drawn different to really convey their mood (think Lore of Olympus). This was a cute quirky love story that followed classic romance plots. Wraps in volume 2.
