In an alternative universe populated by angels and devils, the young Paprika, a New Yorker of Italian origins, is a workaholic dedicated body and soul to the cause of the publishing house where she works. Success sucked up her existence, making her forget the importance of time for herself and for her loved ones. Until to wreak havoc in his life will appear ... a prince charming on a white horse? No, to intrude daringly in his life will be the sly Dill, a naive and handsome courier who acts “angelic” absolutely far from his world. 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 - without taking away space from important issues concerning the female universe, the integration and acceptance of oneself. A sexy comedy halfway between Bridget Jones's diary and Sex & The City, with a touch of The Devil Wears Prada: Sweet Paprika is a fun and captivating contemporary fairytale halfway between western comics and manga. An editorial project of which Star Comics and the author of Sacro / Profano, Contronatura and Mercy - as well as numerous international projects for publishers of the caliber of DC Comics and Marvel Comics - are very proud and which will be one of the most anticipated titles of 2021, also considering the success of the sketches posted by the author on her social channels.
