SWEET PAPRIKA by Mirka Andolfo15 × 21, hardcover, duotone, 112 pp, € 11.90
Paprika is a young woman of Italian origin who lives in New York, an esteemed career woman workaholic. Her success sucked up her existence, making her forget the importance of time for herself and for her loved ones. As long as the daring intrusion of her Dill, a naive and handsome boy with an “angelic” attitude, absolutely far from her world, will cause havoc in her life. Will it be an opportunity for Paprika to question her priorities and her lifestyle, to find out what she really wants? One thing is certain: the encounter-clash of two diametrically opposed characters and "styles" will give rise to an irresistible earthquake of misunderstandings, gags and ... sweetly spicy situations!
Here comes the new, highly anticipated effort by international superstar Mirka Andolfo: a captivating and hilarious miniseries halfway between contemporary fairy tale and sexy comedy, between western comics and manga, between Bridget Jones's diary and Sex & The City, but with a pinch of Il Diavolo wears Prada!
HOT PAPRIKA by Mirka Andolfo
