Lo que me he reído con el capítulo de los zombis!!! A parte de que es muy divertido, me parece muy necesario. Estaría bien que chichos y chicas, hombres y mujeres le echaran un vistazo para entender unas cuantas cosas. Lo que se siente durante la regla están tan bien representado, que es muy fácil hacerse a la idea o sentirse identificado con lo que pasan las protagonistas.

3.5 rounded down for the art.
This is a surprisingly good accompaniment to Go with the Flow in that the focus this time is on how men can't just write menstruation off as "girl stuff" because understanding it can help them be better partners, friends, and dads. It also gets more in abnormal periods (though only just), which is a good area of focus as well.

Reading a manga about periods while on your period is a vibe
September 8, 2020
In Summary
If you’re not put off by terrible artwork and either want to learn more about menstruation or yearn to commiserate about that time of month, give Little Miss P a try. She’s not for everyone, but those who want to vent about a generally unspeakable subject might find comfort in these pages.
The Review
In full disclosure, I’m writing this review of Volume 2 without having read Volume 1. However, I don’t think it makes much of a difference given that the series doesn’t have an overarching story arc. Rather, it’s a collection of standalone stories that deal with a common subject. Namely, menstrual periods, as represented by the anthropomorphic character Little Miss P.
There are two striking things about this title. The first is the artwork. It is stunningly awful. The humans and backgrounds are cartoony at best, and the anthropomorphized representations of periods, virginity, and libido are freakish. The second is the subject matter. Menstruation isn’t a topic you often find on center stage, let alone the main theme for an entire series. Not that manga shies away from taboo subjects, but this is a rather niche title.
Little Miss P is somewhat like Cells At Work in that it presents medical facts in an unconventional way. But whereas Cells at Work sticks to pure biology, Little Miss P also injects social perceptions and emotional hangups surrounding the female cycle. Both series include humor, but Little Miss P tends to be darker and more crass than Cells At Work. Oh, and the artwork for Cells At Work is way better.
This installment includes seven standalone stories. “Little Miss P and the Lovers” is basically a compilation of all the things a guy can do to aggravate his lady while she is on her period. The scenarios and ignorant boyfriend are rather stereotypical so it isn’t a particularly fresh take on the subject. Weirder is “The End of the World and Little Miss P.” In the midst of a zombie apocalypse, a gentle giant of a guy tries to figure how to make pads when his community’s supply runs out. (Um… yeah.) That story felt less about menstruation and more about gender roles in society. Then in “Grade School Kids and Little Miss P,” sex-ed achieves a ridiculously excessive level of openness.
However, “Little Miss P of the Distant Milky Way” is a surprisingly touching story. Despite the fact that it’s a sci-fi involving an interspecies couple in space, it does extremely good job portraying the ups and downs suffered by infertile couples.
That’s followed by menstrual embarrassment going to unbelievable extremes in “Middle School Kid and Little Miss P.” Accidents involving Little Miss P happen, but they don’t usually drive a girl to entirely give up on her school life.
The last two stories, “Career Woman and Something That Isn’t Little Miss P” and “Idol Singers and Little Miss P,” are both educational and social commentary. They’re educational in that they address things that can go awry with a woman’s reproductive system. They’re social commentary in exploring why women who are unwell don’t take care of themselves or even aggravate their conditions. While these two stories involve Japanese characters, the scenarios are entirely relatable for Westerners.
Extras include the first eight pages printed in color, the bonus manga “Go for It, Mr. Virginity,” bonus illustrations, and translation notes.

Fun times with Little Miss P
It’s an interesting subject matter, to say the least. Kind of educational, kind of entertaining. I had some doubts about the author being male and some of the stories sometimes read a bit white knight-y to me, but overall he has great sense and is well informed so it’s not too bad.

February 17, 2022I don’t really like how Mr libido and Mr virginity mean that sex/sexual drive is solely portrayed as a man thing. Female sexual desire is surprisingly absent/sanitized which is disappointing. Hopefully this improves in vol 3? Also if you havent read these this review is probably incomprehensible sorry

Definitely more purposeful than the first book! I think it’s a great book for introducing briefly more obscure things about menstruation and ovaries and fertility to someone who’s never thought about those things ever.
That being said it’s definitely more of a science lesson than approaching periods with a sense of humor.
I’d give it 5 stars, because it is useful for educating others, but personally I wasn’t satisfied with the tonal shift from the first book.
Also 5 stars to the editors, this book is well designed and the stories are strong in and of themselves. I think it’s clear in this volume a shift from self publishing online, to answering to someone with design and writing expertise.

Again such a fun read. There was a lot more educational bits in this manga, but I really enjoyed it. Miss P was debunking harmful myths! And spouting facts so the reader can learn a bit more. I will say the zombie short was rather funny and I enjoyed that one probably the most. I think the idol short had a good lesson in there. I had no idea that if you didn't get your period often your estrogen drops which then makes your bones weaker. Guess like estrogen is a very important hormone after all and not just a pain in my butt lol. A great read in my opinion!

Cute, educational, and highlighting many issues women face with their period a fertility so happy I have it in my collection. Just like the first one this is a series of short stories about women and their partners or friends and how they navigate fertility and periods together. It’s a fun read that I think many men and women can relate to in one way or another

Alors, TW Agression sexuelle ou du moins pas de consentement, représentation de la libido gênante pour ce chapitre, gros point noir
Les conseils de Ragnagna sont biens, les situations sont vraiment diverses et abordent plusieurs thèmes super
Dommage encore de ne pas avoir de mention de personnes trans mais peut être dans le prochain tome ?

This manga is still wonderfully dumb. I particularly liked the short about the struggle to find pads during a zombie apocalypse. I love how Little Miss P makes learning about periods and misconceptions fun!

Per questo secondo volume do tre stelle perché mi è piaciuto meno del precedente. Meno divertente, le storie sono più lunghe, ma i disegni sono sempre fatti benissimo.

Ridiculous menstrual humor that transcends reality and fantasy worlds. Utterly stupid yet relatable at the same time. Although she’s a bit of a bully, Miss P is a girl boss and I can’t elaborate any further.
Also I’ve seen a few complaints about the art style. I personally think it’s simplicity and “rushed” quality adds to the humor!
