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~

Such a cute collection of comics! As an introvert (Mocha) married to an extrovert (Milk) the comics were super relatable. Also, they're just a little snapshot of wholesome characters being sweet to each other.

This book was so absolutely adorable!

We follow the daily lives of Milk and Mocha with their adorable pet Matcha.

Such a beautiful book about love and friendship. It shows that no matter our differences, sometimes you can complement each other so well.

Perfect as a sweet and comfort read that just makes you happy. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you to Netgally and Andrews McMeel Publishing, for providing me with this ARC in exchange of an honest review.

The popular webcomic @milkmochabear has a little book! This fun, slice of life vignettes showcase Milk, Mocha, and Matcha falling in love with their little found family.

I was particularly obsessed with the story of how Milk and Mocha met, and how Matcha finally accepted Mocha as one of his parents.

Overall extremely sweet graphic novel to look through either by yourself or with your partner. I have already sent a bunch of the vignettes to my boyfriend with the caption "look thats us!" Either way, you are bound to have such a wonderful time with this one.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.
