Love Love Love has a very interesting premise! it was a fun and enjoyable read. I do have one teensy thing i would like to point out, but it isn't really that important. I would suggest that a different font is used for the title, as it's a common font that can be found in a Word document. Besides that, Love Love Love was very interesting and fun.

This is a graphic novel set in a near future where there are robots everywhere but they don’t have their rights and respect they deserve, and this book centers on the romance of a robot Karel and a human Elle and everything they go through. Worth a read ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you netgalley and the author/publisher for the chance to review!
Set in futuristic paris. A beautiful and unique love story between a human named Elle and a robot name Karell. The story is unique and the artwork is gorgeous! I would definitely recommend to a friend.

Thanks to Netgalley for a digital copy in exchange for an honest review :)

In a futuristic Paris, robots have evolved into sentient beings whose rights are being revoked due to the perceived threat they pose to human society. But not everyone has turned their backs on these so-called mechas. When the cherish bot Karel and down-on-her-luck Elle meet in the subway, they soon become friends, and something more… But a robot resistance is forming, and the two of them are dragged unwittingly into the chaos. Not only that, but Karel’s programmed life expectancy is mysteriously decreasing…

The setting is one of my favourite part of this comic. The futuristic aspects are very interesting and I spent a lot of time enjoying the art and how the city was designed. It met my expectations and I really want to see more. I have a lot of questions about how the world evolved like this and what could happen in future instalments.

The characters are great! Karel and Elle are awesome and I love their interaction. Also, side characters (like their flatmates and neighbors) are interesting and perfect for the situation. Nothing felt over the top and I want to find out more about each and every one. My favourite has to be Karel - I really need to know what happens next with him after that ending!

The atmosphere and the plot are working together perfectly. Combined with the art style, this is a great first volume and I would love to read the next one! I cannot recommend this enough! It's great!

Wow, Love Love Love is amazing! It's full of nuances and you can read so much into it. Oh the possibilities! The story is set in a futuristic Paris and robots are feared and their rights have been taken from them. Karel is a robot that feeds on love and at the same time it eats him out. He meets Elle on a subway and the two end up chatting and getting to know one another. At the same time there's a robot resistance wanting to end the tormenting of robots and Karel and Elle end up in the middle of it. They both want peace and understanding, but world isn't giving it to them. The setting is interesting and feels so possible in a sense. You can read any conflict in this and that makes this wonderful and creepy at the same time. The characters are well built and we've only seen glimpses of them, what will happen?

The art looks great and there's this Tezuka vibe in it, which works nicely. The color world is beautiful with pink and purple hues. There's so much in the comic and I really need to see how this ends. The setting and everything just sucks you in and it's full of emotion. Just wow! I loved how it's set in Paris too and how you can recognize that easily.

The art in this was some of the best I've seen in a graphic novel. Something akin to Stevenson, author of NIMONA. I really found this an enjoyable read and cannot wait, and I mean CANNOT WAIT for the next one.

A fun start to what seems like a compelling series about robots and humans and what makes love real between two beings? Hated that there was a reference to “the Jews” instead “Jewish people “ when the whole point was not to stereotype, so that was a bad choice of words, but otherwise I’m hoping this series continues.

Such a great read, interesting concept to the story and the art work was fun to look at while reading.

The spin on human and bots are always fun to read about and this one feels like it will go places.

Review: I’m so in love with this book, first pages was slow but Karel and Elle made me giggle because they’re both so cute together. Although Elle kind of have an annoying characteristic since she’s so loud for no apparent reason but she matches Karel because he’s a sweet Robot.
The art is remarkable and I really like every detail of it. This also helps with the plot and the story, I cannot put down this book since the art style is amazing.
In addition, Karel’s programmed life expectancy is mysteriously decreasing. But their life expectancy is making them clingy so much, and they all need love to be recharged. And I guess Elle really liked it when Karel did it to her. And as a reader this made me cling to their characters more.
It breaks my heart when Karel could not even fight back even though humans destroy him, because the law of Robots cannot hurt human being because if he ever fight back he will shut down. It really sucks, it made me cry.
But seriously I want more of this book! The end was a real cliffhanger, that beacon made my jaw drop! I can’t wait to read the next book!

I picked up this comic for a quick and nice read, the kind you have when you're tired of long stories and between novels. And in a sense it was what I expected, but nothing much beyond that. I really liked the idea, the main couple, and the socio-political background. It was just that the story felt a bit rushed, not taking time to really develop anthing, or to make me interested in looking for the sequels.

This story is a cute tale, that’s perfect for middle readers. I love the art and I think that it will grip younger readers’ attention.

I ended up liking this more than I expected. The art is pretty and dynamic. The concept is something that has been explored before but the comic still feels unique. It's also really fast paced and while I don't really mind I feel like it might make it hard for people to get attached with story and characters. There's flaws but they don't hinder my enjoyment and I'd really like to see where the story goes.

Thanks Netgalley and Europe Comics for this ARC.

The story behind Love, Love, Love is interesting. In a world where robots don’t have any rights and are constantly oppressed by a human society, this story is an exploration of whether love can still exist in a world like this. At least’ that is what the resume promises.

I didn’t find the love story particularly touching or emotional, which was, I think a big flaw of the storyline. I enjoyed the idea of building a world in which robots are oppressed but the representation of said oppression could have been done in a better and less fragile way.

The mockery of rights activists wasn’t necessary, and the robot MC allowing the human to say the « r-word » shows how euro and white centered this comic is.

I really enjoy the reading and the art! It's a easy read.
It tells a beautiful story about a android and a human girl in a futuristic world, where androids have been deprived of their rights.
I love Karel and Elle, but I think I needed more devolopment of their relationship.

Love Love Love Volume 1 by @kidtoussaint @andresgarridoart 🌟


I LOVE Love Love Love; I wanted to find another way to say it but to say I loved it just seemed fitting! This is a glorious graphic novel that’s relevant, relatable and stunningly drawn.

This story ended up being far more real than I thought it was going to be; following Karel (a cherish bot) and Elle who meet, both with these inner workings to fall in love quickly, I mistakenly assumed it was gonna be kinda cutesy - nope. Parallel to the theme of love, life and relationships is prejudice, violence and revolution. Tackling the difference between human and robot, the judgement but also the reliance; turns Elle and Karel’s friendship into a danger zone because of peoples perceptions.

It’s characters, both human and machine, are like real people, that’s the only way I can say it, you rather are that type of person or you know someone who is.

There’s a lot of flesh to this book, inside this main narrative you also have tiny elements that’s are just super cool! It’s this genius of a fresh take on what’s already known or been seen, so it becomes its own shape.

It’s a great story following blossoming love, getting riled up in protests and revolutions, it affects head and heart and I can’t wait to see where this story goes.

I’m pretty sure this book is originally french, I got an English version from Netgalley and the publisher, so hopefully future volumes will be accessible but I’m not sure where you can grab an English physical copy, but maybe an ebook edition?

Thank you so much to @netgalley & @europecomics for this arc to review!

This is a love story that has nestled itself deep into my heart. Part robot meets girl, part social commentary, part rallying-cry, Love Love Love is one of the best graphic novels I’ve read in years.
