Well this was... different. And weird. And I can't decide if I liked it or not...?

This is the story of various women dealing with a personified version of their period, Miss P. Miss P shows up, punches them in the gut, steals their blood, injects them with an increased appetite or what have you, and then acts as a shoulder to cry on. Or rushes them to the hospital when they suffer from anemia. Or gives them a pep talk. Or beats the snot out of sexist men around them.

Why can't real periods deal with my problems for me like this one?

If I had one complaint, it's the portrayal of "Mr. Libido" as being a) a men's only issue and b) made equivalent to the debilitating pain these women have to pretend doesn't exist while they go through their day-to-day.

This was...weird. That may seem like an obvious statement, given that it's about periods personified, but what struck me the most was how its attempt to de-stigmatize menstruation felt, to a North American reader, a little...too little. I suspect major cultural differences in treatment of women's health at play, and I'm going to have to do some serious research before I write this up as a full-length review for ANN.

Also not sure how I feel about "Anne Napkins," Japan's first sanitary napkin, being named after a line in the Diary of Anne Frank. Yep, cultural differences...

Me ha gustado mucho. Me he sentido identificada en muchas de las escenas que se representa en este libro. Narrado con respeto y con unos diálogos realistas. Con capítulos cortos y autoconclusivos me ha hecho pasar un buen rato dentro de lo que sufro con la endometriosis (que padezco) y he sentido que está retratada de algún modo en algunos diálogos e incluso escenas sin texto.

Creo que hacia falta que se dijeran en voz alta algunas cosas sobre la menstruación y este libro lo hace. Me ha gustado el aire informal a la par que educativo que tiene. El dibujo es feúcho pero expresivo, me recuerda al estilo de algunas tiras cómicas antiguas. También quiero decir que empecé a leer este manga por curiosidad, quería saber si es una buena lectura para mujeres jóvenes que aún no menstrúan y no lo veo muy claro. Me da la impresión que está enfocado a mujeres que ya han experimentado lo que es. Es más facil captar el humor al identificarse con alguna de las situaciones reflejadas en el manga. Pero tampoco lo descarto porque no sé cómo evolucionará la historia de Menstru en los siguientes volúmenes.

when I purchased Little Miss P by Ken Koyama, I knew I was going to like it. However, I didn't realize it would be one of the best manga I've ever read.

I love everything from the simplistic art style to the anthropomorphization of bodily functions. It actually made me think of my period in a different way. It took my imagination to strange places and I appreciate that. I appreciate how Little Miss P clearly cares about the women she bestows cramps upon. Not only does this manga do a good job at destigmatizing menstruation, but it reframes one's period as a faithful visitor rather than something that's gross.

Overall, I love this manga and I highly recommend reading it if you're curious about it.

The reason I found out about this manga is through watching Akidearest’s video last year and as someone who unfortunately experiences this period hinderence, I thought this manga was wayyyyy too lighthearted. I guess this manga could possibly be targeted to young as well as older teens since it basically shows the obvious of what a period involves. I mean some of the characters are adults themselves but still, the manga is like a preparation for teens who havent experienced a period yet.

Overall I thought the art was plain and the different characters backgrounds are simple enough for a easy enough read. Personally not over the moon by it but I understand it definitely benefit teens more…

Eu amei????????????
Como não amar um mangá em que Menstruação, Libído, Virgindade são personificados?
São várias historinhas sobre mulheres de perfis e idades diferentes lidando com a tal da Miss P., a menstruação.
Eu tenho um fraco por esse tipo de desenho "tosquinho" e só por ele já vale a leitura.
Muito bom! Leve, engraçadinho e divertido! <3

qué horror lo del libido

[Elena Coorie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Una muy buena aproximación a como la menstruación aparece mes a mes en la vida de muchas personas para ponerles la vida patas arriba. Sin embargo, a lo largo de la vida, aunque suele golpear fuerte, tanto física como emocionalmente, se le acaba cogiendo un gran cariño.

Muy recomendado para todas las personas, aunque trata algunos temas sexuales de forma que requieren de cierta madurez para ser procesados de forma correcta y que según la edad del lector pueden llega a resultar algo incómodos y ser malentendidos.

[SpookyBoogie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Funny but not appropriate for young girls

I bought this manga to see if it would be a good resource for young girls. When Mr. Libido, a walking penis showed up talking about porn types, I got my answer. I really hate this art style but, as someone who has had difficult periods for decades , this manga made me laugh. I think it's really relatable and would better suit older teens and women who have a relationship with Miss P.

[Leticia Adames · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is weird. While I am glad to have read it I'm not sure I would ever reach for it again. It shows life in Japan at different time periods in history and all different women. The personified periods and and other hormone based characters are an interesting and funny concept. It is good to see and discuss periods without any taboos.

[Miss Ryoko · Rating 3 out of 5]

When I saw there was a manga about a period personified, I just had to read it! It was enjoyable! It was pretty relatable and most of the stories had good, positive messages... but of course the best parts were when the period was punching everyone. Lol

[Musical_literature_of_vannah · Rating 3 out of 5]

En français "Ragnagna et moi". Ce manga qui nous parle d'anecdotes en lien avec les règles. À la fois drôle et tendre, on se laisse facilement bercer. Les dessins sont très simples mais cela convient bien à ce thème qui finalement, est bien moins complexe que l'on puisse imaginer.

Big ‘ol MEH. I wish I had more to say, but a punching period monster is not enough for me.

Je remercie les Éditions Ki-oon pour l’envoi de cette lecture. Ragnagna et moi, c’est un titre que j’avais vraiment, mais alors vraiment hâte de lire.

Nous suivons la vie de différentes jeunes femmes, chapitre après chapitre, comme des petites nouvelles. Dans leur quotidien, quand d’un coup, débarque ragnagna. Que cela soit une femme au foyer, une petite caissière qui n’a aucune confiance en elle, ou même une femme d’une époque ancienne.

Ce premier volume était réellement intéressant. J’ai aimé cette manière de parler des règles sans complexe, sans peur, de voir certains symptômes mis en avant. De plus, tout cela se fait avec une dose d’humour que j’ai bien aimé.

Le titre est aussi émouvant que véridique. J’ai vraiment aimé le découvrir et je suis déjà impatiente de voir les autres sujets et symptômes qui pourront être abordés dans les trois autres tomes.

En bref, c’est une saga qui m’a beaucoup surprise. Je n’en attendais pas grand-chose de base, mais ce titre m’a bien plu ! 🙂

[Lucille · Rating 4 out of 5]

Vraiment trop trop drôle, dès les premières pages j'ai lâché un gros éclat de rire !

Mon seul point négatif serait que l'un des chapitres tient à comparer la /libido gênante des personnes à penis/ aux douleurs menstruelle et... BON... non.
Mais sinon un super livre qui m'a bien fait rigoler sur ce sujet qui rapproche beaucoup de monde !

[Rachel · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a strange, adorable, and somehow moving at times manga about periods, relationships, self-esteem, etc....

[Albine Eien · Rating 4 out of 5]

A part les comparatifs avec la libido de ces messieurs, c'est un must read absolu !

[Marisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was so cute and fun! Interesting look at a different culture’s perception of periods, and there’s helpful explanations about the references too.

No sabía muy bien qué me encontraría y me ha gustado. A pesar de ser capítulos muy cortitos no me ha costado leerlo del tirón como me suele pasar. No es que te tronches de la risa, pero es divertido y muy gráfico! El hecho de tener dibujados como personajes a la Menstru, la lívido y otros hace que todo sea más fácil de entender (sobre todo los puñetazos en la barriga de Menstru, las mujeres sabemos lo que es ¬¬U). Me ha gustado mucho el capítulo "La abuela y Menstru" donde se explica cómo llegaron las primeras compresas a Japón. También las notas son muy interesante, sin ellas, ni me habría dado cuenta de la cantidad de referencias que hay en el cómic, pero al ser muy locales, si no vives allí es casi imposible conocerlas.

Menstru es efectivamente tu amiga fiel.

[Tabrizia · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this manga more than I thought I would. Little Miss P tackles a subject that is shockingly still taboo, even in the 21st century. Little Miss P gives the menstrual cycle a physical form, a heart shaped character, and it visits various women, young and old, and checks in on their lives. She may cause cramps and bleeding but she does provide a shoulder for the women to lean on. Whether they have issues with their family, their jobs, or their love life, Little Miss P is there to listen.

For a male author to write this, Koyama managed to capture all of the female emotion so accurately. As I was reading this, I either laughing out loud or constantly saying to myself "Yes, that has happened to me. Although short chapters, it contains stories that I think most women would relate to. There is also an interesting introspective of how both men and women think of one another. I found that to be very insightful. Koyama also threw in a little history as well, such as the fictional story inspired by the life Yoshiko Sakai, who invented Japan's first sanitary napkins and Katsushika Ōi, a Japanese Ukiyo-e artist.

This book may not be for everyone but this is one that everyone needs to read. Although the artwork is not something to jump for joy over, this manga tackles a dark subject that needs to be more in the light. We need more books like this.

[Elena Varg · Rating 3 out of 5]

Super fun art style! The stories where somewhat relatable, some very gendered things did bother me though: why do only male characters have libido and virginity as their companions? And isn’t the mangaka a man, who doesn’t get periods himself? (Wishing for period related content from the perspective of other genders is maybe still too much to hope for)

[Sera · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely an essential read. Not only is it a good insight on what people who have periods go through, it's funny and educational on the effects it has on people around us. It touches a bit on the effects of the libido in people, and how important it is to be properly educated on menstruation.

[Eryn · Rating 3 out of 5]

A little weird, a little funny, a little cute - that's three stars. (But it was written by a man?!?!)

Se nota que lo escribió un hombre pero tiene su gracia.
