Recibi esta ARC a cambio de una reseña honesta. Gracias NetGalley por darme la oportunidad de leer este libro.

Esta novela grafica es adorable.
Al inicio se nos pregunta "que es la felicidad?"..siempre que pienso en la felicidad siento que no es un estado permanente, la felicidad para mi es disfrutar de las cosas mas simples de este planeta, la felicidad es la suma de esos momentos.

La ilustracion es adorable, los ositos Milk y Mocha (junto a su pequeña mascota Matcha) se robaron mi corazon. Estoy enamorada de la ilustracion y de los dialogos.
Una de las cosas que mas disfrute es ver lo bien capturado que esta el dia a dia de esta pareja de ositos.

La paleta de colores es una absoluta belleza.
Esta novela grafica es super recomendable!

I've received an ARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

This graphic novel is adorable.
At the beginning we are asked "what is happiness?".. whenever I think about happiness I feel that it is not a permanent state of mind, happiness for me is enjoying the simplest things on this planet, happiness is the sum of those moments.

The illustration is adorable, Milk and Mocha (along with their little pet Matcha) stole my heart. I am in love with the illustration and the dialogues.
One of the things that I enjoy the most is seeing how well captured the daily life of this couple of bears is.

The color palette is an absolute beauty.
This graphic novel is highly recommended!

This was cute, but I really didn’t have strong feelings towards this.

I was so excited to get an advanced copy of Melani Sie's Milk and Mocha Comics Collection, and I was NOT disappointed! Her work is incredibly well done. It is fun. It is lighthearted. Sweet. Adorable. I really did love this compilation. If you haven't checked it out I would highly highly recommend it.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.


I absolutely LOVE Milk & Mocha, so I was excited to see a whole collection of this cute comic on Netgalley. This I had to get!

In this book we follow Milk (a white bear/ice bear) and Mocha (a brown bear) and their lives together. These two are very much in love and we get to see their daily lives with plenty of adorable and cute scenes that made me just go aww so many times. From yummy food, to cute messages, to fun times watching shows. I loved seeing their daily lives and see how adorable they are together. I have to say that I was already sharing these with my hubby (they are perfect as they are so sweet) when I spy them on Twitter, but I have to share even more now with this cute book. I am considering buying the book for him!

And a lot of things are relatable. Yes, I am not a bear, my hubby is quite a bear, but also not a bear. XD Like how Milk flops on Mocha’s lap after a tiring day. Or how one kiss is indeed not enough. Or that one comic that Milk has a big big scary nightmare and wakes up, all startled, then turns to Mocha and clings to them and all is well. I do that as well when I have had a scary dream. And there were more, it was just so cute and so fun.

A lot of the scenes in this book are without words, which works very well because you can clearly see and understand the situation just from the illustrations. Plus, it also works since Mocha cannot speak and communicates solely by signs, like by a tablet.

I loved that we met Matcha, an appropriately named little dragon-like creature that is all green (well, except his spikes, those are yellow). Matcha is a bit of a handful at times, they really seem to love Milk the most. At times I felt a bit for Mocha because they try and Matcha is just growly or angry at them. I am happy that as the story continues we see things mellow out a bit more.

And I am totally happy that we got to see a story about how these two met! SOOOO CUTE!

All in all, are you in the need for something adorable? Love slice of life? Love some cute bears doing cute things? Grab this one~

Too cuteeeee!!!

I always love to see Milk & Mocha's story. So when I found this eARC available on NetGalley, I immediately download and read it in one sitting. I love the story of when Milk met Mocha for the first time. Love when Milk found Matcha. I love everything actually.

Thank you so much Melani Sie for creating them!

Thank you, NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this wonderful eARC!
