Valentine

Valentine #2

by Vanyda

Going into their last year of middle school, Valentine and her friends are at that defining time of their lives when new experiences are coming thick and fast. They've got their finals just around the corner, but that doesn't stop them from bunking classes and flirting with guys (even if, in Valentine's case, they're not the guys she actually wants to flirt with... the gorgeous Felix is as aloof as ever). Valentine struggles to find her feet in this emotional whirlwind.

This is a review for all six volumes of Valentine by Vandya, as I read all six in one go, and the story is so slice-of-life and outside of any typical plot structures that each volume really blends into the other. The story is that of Valentine, a French teenager who is going through the typical difficulties that come with transitioning through adolescence. There's self-doubt, romantic longing, peer pressure, developing identity, changing friends...all that. But the way it plays out so softly and so gradually, this almost feels like a kind of documentary where we're watching the evolution of a young woman without any major forced dramas. It's all just...life. The artwork is terrific for this - manga-inspired with great use of angle, frames and color. But know this: by the time you get to the end, don't expect a major resolution of anything. Life just continues on for the characters, as it had been going on before we began reading about them. That's the point here. And the enjoyment isn't in seeing everyone's story tie off in a bow - it doesn't - but in sharing their reality for a while. Terrific stuff.

2.5

I don’t know if this is for me it is very sliced of life and I do like that put the timeline is a little confusing. One page Val is listing this guy and it’s winter and the next they are breaking up and it’s almost summer but nothing happens in between. I just wish there was more of something and her friends are terrible I hate all of them I don’t know why she is friends with them.

the most realistic part of this besides valentine's personality is the 5-minute relationships between 8th graders.

valentine needs new friends. i hope high school gives her the chance to make friends that aren't complete trash towards other people.

valentine's mom is a lot.

Toujours aussi fun ce petit bond dans le passé au temps du collège, des amourettes, et des prises de bec entre filles. Hâte de découvrir la suite !

Mean girls

Well, it is interesting and disheartening to see mean girls are unfortunately not going away anytime soon.
Val is such a sheeple
Meh
