Bridget Jones's Diary meets Sex and the City with a pinch of The Devil Wears Prada in an international hit by acclaimed creator MIRKA ANDOLFO (UNNATURAL, MERCY).
The 2022 Harvey Award winner for Best International Book is back in a prestige omnibus edition that's spicier than ever! Paprika is a successful businesswoman whose career consumes her life, 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 suave, handsome delivery boy with an angelic attitude and a gaggle of adoring fans. He doesn't have a worry in the world, and that makes Paprika very nervous. But maybe he's the guy who can help her with her feelings--and with sex. This "hot" director's cut edition, now available to American readers for the first time, features "spicier" panels, newly redrawn by MIRKA ANDOLFO herself, and is printed as the series was originally conceived--not in color, but in black, white, and fluorescent pink!
