Due parole: adoro Nemi。Chi non vorrebbe un'amica come lei？ Credo che tutti abbiamo bisogno di un'amica così， una persona folle， divertente， romantica， nerd （con un po' di cinismo e misantropia al punto giusto） che ci faccia uscire dal grigiore della vita reale nonostante lei vesta solo ed esclusivamente di nero。 E credo che tutti e tutte ci siamo trovati almeno una volta nelle situazioni moleste， folli o bizzarre in cui spesso lei si ritrova。Che dire。。。 l'ho adorata ancora di più。 Cercavo le str Due parole: adoro Nemi。Chi non vorrebbe un'amica come lei？ Credo che tutti abbiamo bisogno di un'amica così， una persona folle， divertente， romantica， nerd （con un po' di cinismo e misantropia al punto giusto） che ci faccia uscire dal grigiore della vita reale nonostante lei vesta solo ed esclusivamente di nero。 E credo che tutti e tutte ci siamo trovati almeno una volta nelle situazioni moleste， folli o bizzarre in cui spesso lei si ritrova。Che dire。。。 l'ho adorata ancora di più。 Cercavo le strisce di Nemi tradotte in italiano da anni， da quando fecero chiudere la pagina di Facebook che le traduceva amatorialmente。 E finalmente l'ho trovata。C'è da dire che molte prendono in giro la cultura e la società norvegese di cui noi sappiamo ben poco e dunque， alcune strisce possono risultare incomprensibili o non divertenti。 Però， per il resto， è stato uno spasso e spesso mi ci sono anche immedesimato， visto che molte situazioni sono identiche in ogni angolo del mondo。Il mio preferito è stato "Carpe Noctem"， un vero e proprio piccolo fumetto e non una striscia。Spero di trovare anche il secondo volume e lo consiglio vivamente。 。。。more

I liked the art style and the short comic strips。 Some definitely aged poorly， there's some woman on woman hate which is like my least favorite thing。 Plus some humor we left in the 00' years for a good reason。 Most of it was short， sweet and enjoyable though。 Had a good time， got through it quickly。 I liked the art style and the short comic strips。 Some definitely aged poorly， there's some woman on woman hate which is like my least favorite thing。 Plus some humor we left in the 00' years for a good reason。 Most of it was short， sweet and enjoyable though。 Had a good time， got through it quickly。 。。。more

Loved this book ！！！ Upon remembering reading the cartoon strips in the metro newspaper when I travelled to college years ago and how much I enjoyed them 。 I went to look to find the cartoon and found this book。 Fully enjoyed this slice of escapism and Nemi’s humour。

Not my thing。 Nemi herself comes off as imaginative and fun-loving， but also shallow， volatile and can be kind of a jerk to people。 Her world is constant clubs， hangovers， one night stands， and crowds of friends， yet she's also paradoxically an outcast。 Nemi's friend Cyan isn't given much characterization， unfortunately; she's basically a vehicle for lines。 The other characters are recurring faces who aren't given names。 At least in this first volume， Nemi's frequently a talking heads strip; the Not my thing。 Nemi herself comes off as imaginative and fun-loving， but also shallow， volatile and can be kind of a jerk to people。 Her world is constant clubs， hangovers， one night stands， and crowds of friends， yet she's also paradoxically an outcast。 Nemi's friend Cyan isn't given much characterization， unfortunately; she's basically a vehicle for lines。 The other characters are recurring faces who aren't given names。 At least in this first volume， Nemi's frequently a talking heads strip; the joke is in the dialogue and the art doesn't matter。 It could just as well be a script。There was a standout sequence: Nemi locking herself out of her apartment， crawling back into the window of the wrong room by mistake， and being discovered by a kid who believes she's his imaginary friend come to life。 That's a brilliant setup！ I also have to admit I do like one particularly wicked comeback Nemi dished out:Lady: I never listen to that kind of stuff。 It gives me headaches。Nemi: Mm。 Those phantom pains can be nasty。Laugh-out-loud count: 3 laughs in 131 pages。 。。。more

Olen muutaman Nemi-stripin lukenut joskus kauan， kauan sitten。 Ne olivat mielestäni ihan OK， mutta sitten unohdin sen kunnes tässä pari viikkoa sitten törmäsin sarjakuvaan uudelleen Kirjavinkit-sivustolla ja päätin kokeilla sarjista uudelleen ja ihan alusta。 Kävi kuten arvelinkin， eli alkupään tuotanto on vielä hiomatonta ja rosoista。 Kaikkia ruutuja en edes tajua。Yllätyin että Nemistä saa hakemalla hakea goottia， pikemminkin näiden strippien perusteella luokittelisin hänet hevarin ja punkkarin Olen muutaman Nemi-stripin lukenut joskus kauan， kauan sitten。 Ne olivat mielestäni ihan OK， mutta sitten unohdin sen kunnes tässä pari viikkoa sitten törmäsin sarjakuvaan uudelleen Kirjavinkit-sivustolla ja päätin kokeilla sarjista uudelleen ja ihan alusta。 Kävi kuten arvelinkin， eli alkupään tuotanto on vielä hiomatonta ja rosoista。 Kaikkia ruutuja en edes tajua。Yllätyin että Nemistä saa hakemalla hakea goottia， pikemminkin näiden strippien perusteella luokittelisin hänet hevarin ja punkkarin välimuodoksi。 Positiivisesti taas yllätyin siitä miten moniulotteinen sekä Nemi että sarjis on。 Pidin kuitenkin enemmän sarjan huumorista kuin Nemistä itsestään。 Kuten aiemmin sanoin， jotkin stripit eivät auenneet minulle mutta useimmat kylläkin。 Osa oli todella hauskoja。 Nauroin esim。 sille kun Nemi kulkee myrtsinä， huomaa koiran irrallaan， halaa sitä ja tulee hyvin onnelliseksi ja toteaa että apteekista pitäisi voida vuokrata koiria。 Ihan kuin minä！ Ja nauroin itsekseni pitkän aikaa sille kun Nemi oli kirjoittanut ylös unensa ja aamulla herätessään pöllämystyneenä katsoo kirjoittamaansa lappua jossa lukee ”paprika”。 Poikaystäväni hieman katsoi minua oudosti kun hihittelin täysillä vielä hampaita pestessänikin。 Se tilanne oli jotenkin niin arkisen absurdin koominen。Nämä alkupään stripit olivat useimmat ihan hyviä mutta vielä se on liian kömpelö jotta voisin enempää tähtiä antaa。The same in my poor English:I’ve read a few Nemi strip a long， long time ago。 I thought they were OK and then forgot it until I bumped again into this comics on one Finnish book recommendation site couple weeks ago。 I decided to read this from the beginning。Happened as I thought would happen: these early strips are yet rough。 I don’t even understand some of the panels。 I was surprised that there isn’t much a goth in Nemi， instead she is more like a mix of metalhead and punk rocker based on these strips。 I was positively surprised how multi-dimensional Nemi and the comics are。 I liked the humour more than Nemi herself。 Like I said earlier， I didn’t get some of the panels but most I did understood and some of them were very funny。 For example I laughed when Nemi is so angry， then she sees a dog， hugs it and she becomes so happy and says that you should be able to rent a dog from a pharmacist’s。 She’s just like me！ And for a long time I giggled when Nemi had written down her dream and in the note which she read in the morning， was written a word ”paprika”。 My boyfriend looked at me weirdly when I still giggled to it when I was washing my teeth at night。 That situation was just so mundanely absurd and very comic。These early strips were alright but still too clumsy that I can’t give more stars than I do now。 。。。more

1。5 stars。 There were a handful of panels in this book that I liked but overall I didn't love this collection。I've read and followed Nemi's comics strips online for several years now， but I couldn't help but think as I read this that it seems that I must not have been following Nemi from the very beginning。 And while reading this I wondered if Nemi has changed over the years or if I have， and I think both are true。 I do enjoy the more recent Nemi strips that are posted online and have for some t 1。5 stars。 There were a handful of panels in this book that I liked but overall I didn't love this collection。I've read and followed Nemi's comics strips online for several years now， but I couldn't help but think as I read this that it seems that I must not have been following Nemi from the very beginning。 And while reading this I wondered if Nemi has changed over the years or if I have， and I think both are true。 I do enjoy the more recent Nemi strips that are posted online and have for some time now， but the subject matter and humor feels different and like it has evolved - one would assume that the character has evolved with the creator as she has written it over the years。 I'm so used to what I gather is newer Nemi material， that as I was reading I was wondering when her Peter Steele look-alike boyfriend might make an appearance。 But， it would seem that this volume is from before he came into the comics at all。 In fact， quite a few of the comics here are about Nemi being single， and her one night stands are a recurring subject。It struck me how often the material felt dated to me。。。Nemi's chunky blue iMac computer， her cell phone， little details like this that are visual cues to the time this is from。 At times the humor and some of the content， including Nemi's attitude in general， felt passe as well。 She has a Donnie Darko poster on her wall， she thinks "beam me up" when an enthusiastic girl says she likes listening to Kylie Minogue。。。 it just brings to mind Ghost World， Hot Topic， Happy Bunny， Myspace。。。you know， pretentious judgey goth/alt girls who are "not like other girls。" One comic where Nemi throws her jacket over a buxom skinny woman （who is standing with an identically-built friend who has a £3000 price tag on her chest） though there is a coat rack on the other side of the door。。。SHE MISTOOK HER FOR A COAT RACK BECAUSE SHE'S SO SKINNY AND OBVIOUSLY VAPID THAT SHE'S BASICALLY AN INANIMATE OBJECT LOL。 🙄A page before that， she's at a table with two women having drinks。。。one woman says something about an attractive lead singer， the other says something about how she got new lipgloss and her friend compliments it。 Then， in the next panel （I think something may have been lost in translation here？） the two women are pigs oinking at each other and Nemi is a crocodile looking confused。 Next panel， "You're quiet， Nemi。" "I don't understand what you are saying。"There's a certain degree of hypocrisy with this sort of elitism， which I've observed *frequently* in alt。/goth circles since probably about middle school though it seems to carry well into adulthood。 I can't help but roll my eyes at it。 For instance: Nemi finds guys attractive all the time。。。but when one of these girls （always blonde） thinks a guy is attractive， or has any interest in anything for that matter， it's suddenly shallow。 Nemi appears to have lipstick， eyeliner， and mascara on at all times。 But let two plain-faced blonde ladies have an exchange to the tune of "Hey， I'm wearing my new lipgloss！" "Cool！"。。。and they're speaking another language。 😑If I had read this when it was published in 2008 when I was a teenager （and more of a judgey bratty goth youth myself） I would have probably liked it more than I do now。 But at this point in time， this volume just feels overall pretty dull and unrelatable。 I know that I like Nemi comics， but I guess I prefer the more recent material to the older。I read through the first 100 pages before I gave up on reading every panel and just started skimming for the last 40 pages or so。 。。。more

Love this artist！ I accidently found her on instagram and immediately felt a kinship with Nemi。 I love the art the sarcastic quips and the honest tone。 Give it a chance。

I don't usually read comics， but I do have a few exceptions to that rule， Christensen's Arne Anka， Kellerman's Rocky and Pirinen。 For a while， these guys were accompanied by two Norweigian artists; Lise Myhre and Frode Överli （drawing the soccer-loving Pondus）。 Somehow， these two faded from my mind， though and later tries always fell flat。Nemi is a same time naive and quite knowledgeable and frank goth/metal-chick that's fighting society's demands on her to grow up。 This first album is quite fun I don't usually read comics， but I do have a few exceptions to that rule， Christensen's Arne Anka， Kellerman's Rocky and Pirinen。 For a while， these guys were accompanied by two Norweigian artists; Lise Myhre and Frode Överli （drawing the soccer-loving Pondus）。 Somehow， these two faded from my mind， though and later tries always fell flat。Nemi is a same time naive and quite knowledgeable and frank goth/metal-chick that's fighting society's demands on her to grow up。 This first album is quite fun and a nice read， as far as I have followed， it unfortunately never got better （or even new or different in any way）。 。。。more

I first came across Nemi a lot of years ago when I was living in Sweden， and rather fell in love with the comic strip。 She's a Norwegian goth who doesn't want to grow up and her head is full of dragons and fantasy and films。 She loves her chocolate。 She doesn't take any crap from people。 Wonderful。 I came across this compilation in English and thought I would give it a go。 It is all the same wonderful Nemi-ness， but it's wierd reading her in English。 Plus she is from Norway， not London。 I can un I first came across Nemi a lot of years ago when I was living in Sweden， and rather fell in love with the comic strip。 She's a Norwegian goth who doesn't want to grow up and her head is full of dragons and fantasy and films。 She loves her chocolate。 She doesn't take any crap from people。 Wonderful。 I came across this compilation in English and thought I would give it a go。 It is all the same wonderful Nemi-ness， but it's wierd reading her in English。 Plus she is from Norway， not London。 I can understand why the translators might have gone down the route of translating all the cultural references as well as the words。。。 but I think it looses a little something。 Plus they've randomly left a few Scandinavian references in which makes for a bit of a wierd mix。 Hey ho。There's no particular plot or anything to this book， it's a comic strip of Nemi musings on life。 。。。more
