Many thanks to NetGalley and Publisher for advance access to read this precious beyond words comic collection in exchange for an honest review.
This comic following bears Milk and Mocha and shares their stories of every day life and the communication, connection, and happy moments that come from the every day things of life.
This storytelling is not only relatable but honestly breathtaking, it humanizes emotions and the up and down periods individuals have in whatever type of relationship be it a friend, family, or a partner. If I could rate a 10/10 I would, but a five star will have to do!
This was such a cute and sweet collection. Their relationship is everything I want to have at one point. Also, I loved that we have Mocha as a non-talking bear, and how even without words he expressed his feelings for Milk. I absolutely adored it!!
I love this incredibly cute comic collection! Several of the scenes remind me of myself and my spouse: I believe any couple will be able to relate to Milk and Mocha while laughing at the accuracy. Milk and Mocha are the cutest bears in comics today. đź–¤
That was the cutest thing I have ever consumed. It reminded me of my best friend and I! Plus the art is so simple and adorable that I couldn’t ignore it even if I tried.
I feel like a human again reading this collection.
Yes, that’s everything I have to say about this book. Okay, I am running away to read the original series!
See you soon!
Thank you, Andrews McMeel, for the advance reading copy.
Very cute story about two bears who are very much in love. I liked the slice of life format, it made it easy to pick up this book from time to time when I needed a little bit of happiness. The drawing style was adorable. I’d read more from this author.
Book Summary:
Milk and Mocha are the cutest bears circulating the internet, which is saying something! Our Little Happiness is a collection of comics from a webcomic known as @milkmochabear; ever heard of it?
Milk and Mocha's adventures are told in a slice-of-life format, full of endearing tales and so much more.
My Review:
Pardon me while I run around the room, squealing. But seriously, Our Little Happiness is SUCH a cute graphic novel. I'm in love. And so are the bears, adorably enough. I've seen these comics circulating online but never really had the chance to sit down and read through many of them. Man, am I happy that this graphic novel collection changed that!
This is undoubtedly the most wholesome graphic novel I've read this week, probably a bit longer than that. I loved seeing these two characters interact. They're so different but so very attached. The addition of Matcha made it even cuter, somehow.
Highlights:
Webcomic
Romance
Endearing Bears
Slice-of-Life
ARC Copy...It was cute and sweet. I love how the two bears interact with each and the friendship is shown via minimalism body language and speech. Plus it helps the art visual style looks adorable and cute!
Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for a copy of this adorable book.
Such a sweet little set of comics to show opposites can attract and even compliment each other. It was honestly just the cutest, and their pet Dino made me want to audibly squee.
I will definitely be showing it to my kids, just a wholesome, easy read.
Milk & Mocha by Melani Sie is SUPER CUTE! My 11 year old agrees. I really enjoyed these two little bears and their pet dino, Matcha. I think anyone who is a fan of cute comic strips like Chi the cat, Pusheen or similar will really like these little bears.
It was a cute collection of comics. I liked both characters even though I struggled a bit with Milk at times. It was funny and light, perfect for relaxing. At the same time, I would have liked the stories to be a little more in-depth at times, like the one where the two characters try to put their heart parts together with concrete: it's still cute but you can tell there's some real thought behind it.
I love Milk and Mocha. They are so adorable. I fall for them.
I have seen them in many social media. All panels about energetic Milk and clumsy Mocha are heartining. I never get bored looking at them.
I am so excited when I see their comic collection is published. They are some pages that already published in their social medias but there is some special pages that I have been waiting for. The author tell us how those bears met for the first time.
I also love panels about Matcha, their pet.
I will definitely buy this comic when it is available in the bookstore.
Cute! The comics felt a little repetitive though because most of the scenes surrounded themselves around food, but the characters are too adorable for me to mind too much. It made me feel so warm and cozy inside thinking of my partner.
This entire book is cuteness overload. It's so relatable and so adorable. I love the illustrations and the quiet and talkative duo. I love every page as it is so interesting and such an enjoyable read. I am definitely looking forward to more works by the author. Highly recommended.
This is a super adorable graphic novel about friendship. There are multiple little stories about the two bears getting to know each other and supporting each other in different scenarios. Although there is more illustration than dialogue, both the illustrations and the dialogue are super wholesome!
I've been following Milk & Mocha bear on Instagram for ages, and having them in a handy book form I can read cover-to-cover without ever looking at my phone is such a peaceful treat! Just like their web comic, Milk & Mocha are two adorable buddies who get up to adorable hijinks, share encouraging words with readers and each other, and live each day to it's bear huggiest potential. I always feel a zing of happiness when they pop up on my timeline, and their comics collection kept me zinging without having to scroll. This would make a great gift for a friend or partner you love, and would also make a great gift for yourself, to keep close by on cloudy days.Â
Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read this book and write an honest review.
This is adorable! I've seen Milk & Mocha around the internet before, but didn't realize there was going to be lore! I loved how they met and their cute relationship.
I received an e-ARC from NetGalley and fell in love with Milk and Mocha (and Matcha!). Such cute relatable scenes of life and love, putting a smile on anyone’s face. I need more!
Milk and Mocha is beyond adorable. Sweet and relatable and filled with joy and love. I loved the interactions between Milk and Mocha and their little dino Matcha. I'm so happy I got the chance to read this! Highly recommend this if you want to read sweet comics with adorable characters.
Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an advance e-arc in exchange for my honest thoughts.
I love these little bears. I have been using them as gifts for years, but didn't know what they came from. This is a perfect little coffee table book collection of two bears and their pet dino just living life. Each little cartoon is a story in itself and I laughed out loud and showed my husband many of them while I was reading.
Definitely pick up this little book as it is a warm hug and a smile.
