Jeżeli kiedykolwiek zastanawialiście się, czy komiks i kreskówka są do siebie podobne, to uprzejmie donoszę, że to jest dokładnie ten tom, w którym wszystko się rozjeżdża. I naprawdę nie wierzę, że jednej z moich najukochańszych postaci nie ma w komiksach!

4 STARS
We jump ahead to a month after what happens in the first issue and the girls are getting used to their powers. I still love Hay Lin's grandma so much, her being annoyed at having to take medicine was so funny. Irma using her power to get into a disco is relatable, I think and I LOVED seeing the tech Will is speaking to. My highlight was Taranee handing her the floppy disc to print her biology homework.
And Elyon reappearing just opens so many more questions and made me remember why I always loved her so much - she as a character is the most interesting to me because we don't really know much about her and her house makes everything just more confusing.

I remember being hookep up in the beautiful adventures of Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin as a child. This is the first comic series that I really liked. I rated it 5 stars for Nostalgia's sake. too bad, theyve stopped the story in my country it is a good comics for children. Innocent and fun

Sempre gostei muito dos desenhos animados das W.I.T.C.H, mas apesar de ter as revistas/livros em casa nunca os tinha lido, achei muita piada.
Tem ilustrações muito bonitas, e os textos são muito engraçados apresar de ser bastante simples.
Afinal sou capaz de gostar de graphic novels é só preciso saber escolher.
Acho que o grande problema é não ter os volumes todos tenho alguns seguidos mas infelizmente não tenho o primeiro e fico um pouco desfasada na história por causa dos livros em falta, bem que queria encontrar todos os outros livros para poder terminar a coleção mas até agora não encontro ninguém que já não os queira :(

I like that we're getting to know the girls a little bit here! Like the kind of people they are. World-building still gets a little confusing though, or because we don't have all the details yet and I think that's fine for now.
I still find it weird that their guardian form makes them look like older versions of themselves. And then we have Irma who transformed and went to a club and flirted with a guy older than her?? What in the 😭😂 I mean she's still 13, she's a kid. I don't think that's safe, nor is it significant to their powers/guardian selves. Like what does looking older and curvier really do when they're fighting or using their powers? I think it doesn't really add anything 🥲

Loved this! Even more fun than the first one!♡ Irma (and her adorable witty personality) really shines in this one.

Саме на цій частині зрозуміла, що новела відрізняється від мультфільму, бо в них тепер нема в кого спитати поради 🥲

Rereading this after so many years.
I love how Will has discovered her power over electronics and the other girls were surprised. They're reaction was so funny. A pretty good power to be honest. She could use electronics without electricity. Really helpful.
Hay Lin's grandma though. It was really really sad. But it was a powerful moment when she was recognized as she still kept her duties as a Guardian until the very end.

This is kind of like the TV series. With Mild differences. I am reading this online on a comic site. I wonder how this will play into counting for the rest of the series.

Did I read a fan translation, or was the translation always this bad?
I'm glad the story called out the thing I did in part one, that the girls just used magic like it was normal, instead of something new and weird. Did change them much.
I feel like the series glosses over a lot of important stuff and just gives us snapshots of scenes, rather than an actual flowing story.
The characters act their age, but are also weirdly cool and composed about the magic. Anything outside of that and they are pretty annoying. The only one I kinda like is Hay Lin, but even that is just based on superficiality, because there is no real substance to their personalities as of yet.
The whole printer x computer ship was really weird to me, with the reason for it being they only argue. I really wish that fighting/arguing constantly in relationships would stop being normalised. It's not healthy. It's not a good thing for children to believe (and that's who this series is aimed at, right?)
The one thing I really liked in this series was how they dealt with death. That part was really emotional and super well done, and makes me wish the whole series was as good. Unfortunately, it isn't.

5/5
Todo inicia conmigo en una librería en Italia y un cupón de 10 euros para gastar. Revisando todos los libros posibles, encontré este que me trajo un viejo recuerdo de infancia y no dudé en comprarlo.
W.I.T.C.H es una serie de fantasía que nos presenta a cinco amigas y a las aventuras y misterios que vivirán. En este caso, el libro que compré traía los primeros cinco volúmenes de la serie:
Halloween
I dodici portali
L'altra dimensione
Il potere del fuoco
L'ultima lacrima
Todos con cinco estrellas porque no se merece menos. Es una historia brillante, simple de leer y que te mantiene curiosa en la trama.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ver. No me ha disgustado pero si que me ha parecido más lento que el anterior y mira que era más corto. Creo que era un poco como una historia, por así decirlo, de transición y para crear los fundamentos de la historia. Tiene pinta de que será bastante épica la historia, pero lo que no me gusta es ese toque infantil que tiene. Ya estaba pensado que espero que crezcan y maduren y no se queden siempre con 13 años porque sino creo que no seguiré la saga. Además, relamente si la leo es por la nostalgia y para practicar mi ingles.

Die französische Übersetzung hat mir super gefallen! Vor allem, weil ein paar Streits der Mädchen gestrichen wurden und die Zickereien zwischen Cornelia und Irma auf ein Minimum reduziert waren.
