This book was definitely a refresher for me, I personally never see good sapphic love stories on graphic novels and the way it was translated was spot on. I definitely think you should read it if you are into graphic novels.

A very cute book with lots of underlying serious issues!! Definitely recommend for a quick read- I also really liked the drawing style and the overall layout of the book!! Very interesting concept

This graphic novel is translated from French, but thankfully didn't lose any of the nuisance I feel is often overlooked when translating books.

I wasn't in love with the art style myself, but I definitely think it is for a lot of people (reminiscent of Betty Boop and similar etc) I would say that it affected how much I enjoyed the story though.

This lacked some world building outside the synopsis, and although I knew it was set in France/Paris, I didn't really feel like it was anywhere in particular. Adding to this, there wasn't really anything in the way of really introducing the world and the characters - by the end of it I got the general idea, but I wanted more in depth information.

The story progressed very fast for a single volume, an entire love story started and ended and I don't think I got overly attached to them, so I wasn't upset with anything that happened.

Overall I think it wasn't very strong of an execution, while the idea was there something was missing.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Content Warnings
Sexual Harassment: (Pg.14) apartment neighbor looks at MC back end while hinting that they should hook up for "neighbor appreciation day". MC doesn't seem to notice.
Racism:Fantasy racism towards robots that parallels racism in the US during the Civil Rights Movement. Segregation.
Cheating: A side character is cheating on her husband with another bot they live with.
Violence: (Pg.31-33) MCs are attacked by a drink neighbor.(Pg.56)mutilated robot body. (Throughout) rebellion uprising with riots/protests and police violence against bots.

Looking for a graphic novel with lgbtqia+ representation, sentient robots, and a rebellion uprising? What about a sweet romance between a bot and a human? Or a story and world that almost directly parallels current world issues, along with U.S. Civil War conflicts?


This young adult graphic novel is the first in a series that takes place in a world where robots are segregated and oppressed by humanity, causing a robot uprising. The main character is a cherish bot who gains his energy from affection. He meets a fiery human woman, who believes in equality for bots. Thus beginning an unlikely romance between two beings who've always struggled with lasting relationships.
This book directly translates the U.S. civil rights movement into a dystopian world, and does so with a beautiful art style. I am not an Own Voices reviewer in regards to the racism/lgbtqia+ representation in this story, but I can say that I enjoyed this read, and look forward to continuing the series.

Gracias NetGalley por enviarme una copia de esta novela gráfica a cambio de una reseña honesta.

Love, love, love como su título lo indica es una historia de amor, un amor puro pero quizás mal visto. Es una novela grafica de ciencia ficción llena de amor.

Conocemos a Elle una chica quien por casualidades del destino conoce a Karel, quién es un robot con quién tiene un clic inmediato, con el paso del tiempo que están juntos comienzan a desarrollar sentimientos el uno por el otro pero un levantamiento social será un obstáculo para su amor.

Se los recomiendo demasiado, el arte es demasiado bello y lo terminan en un ratito, disfruten que es la cosa más cute que existe

Love Love Love is a graphic novel set in futuristic Paris where the intelligent robots', (called mechas) rights are being revoked and so a robot resistance is forming. Elle and Karel, the two main characters are being dragged into it.
Okay firstly, this book was so adorable, it was a unique and fun story about a robot falling in love with a human.
I fell in love with the art style and the vivid colors and I definitely want to read more of the illustrator's work! The banter and conversations between the characters were witty, well-developed and flowed smoothly.
My only complaint would be that this was a bit too short for a romance book and that there was barely any character development. I also wanted more background information and history about the "mechas", since I was confused for around the first 30 pages, seeing as I don’t read sci-fi often.
Overall, the story is a light-hearted, easy read, that still presents an interesting and engaging action/sci-fi plot. I will definitely be reading the second volume, especially because that cliff-hanger was EVIL.

I received an eArc of Love Love Love (Yeah Yeah Yeah 1) from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This graphic novel by Kid Toussaint and Andres Garrido from Europe Comics is a sweet and thrilling introduction to a sci-fi romance series. In a world where robots (mechas) are treated as second class citizens, what happens when a human and a bot fall in love? This concept has been explored in other comics, notably Alex+Ada by Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn, and while similarities exist between Love Love Love and prior media this title brings a unique take to the concept. Karel (a cherish bot) has a chance encounter with a human named Elle and a relationship begins to grow even while the pressures of the politics and economics of the outside world press in. The art is wonderful and reminiscent of Disney. The story is interesting, although I was a bit confused about the mechanics of certain aspects of the world. For example, cherish bots recharge their batteries by being loved, but there’s never a clear explanation that of how this works. Additionally the plot seemed to move along quickly, perhaps too quickly, making the story seem a bit compressed. This graphic novel is only 56 pages, I think it could have been a bit longer OR taken on less time (a full year passes from beginning to end) in the life of these characters so the pacing seemed more natural and the reader could develop a stronger relationship with the characters and world. Overall, despite these criticisms, I enjoyed Love Love Love. I rate this comic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and look forward to reading the next installment.

This book is set in an alternative futuristic universe where humans and robots live together in society, but, human kind being themselves, they don't live harmonically and there is a lot of prejudice towards robots. We follow Elle, a human, and Karel, a robot.
I'll start by saying that the illustration is gorgeous and I absolutely loved the color scheme for this, besides that, I loved the character construction for this, both Elle and Karel were wonderfully developed in such few pages.
I, also, really like the plot and I think is a great metaphor on how society treats marginalized groups, as in most power dynamics were created by the oppressor in a way of benefiting them and, now, that the oppressed are breaking these dynamics, the oppressed are being violent. It also made me think of how, if we do not fight prejudice in all its forms, we will eventually find new things or people to hate and this can backfire on us who stayed quiet. The story has also a few plot twists that I didn't expect.
Overall, this is a great graphic novel and I'll definitely wait for the sequel, the only critic I have is that I think there were a lot of important issues to be covered in the story as well as world building in such few pages, I kind of wish this was a little longer so we could see the plot develop more, but it was a great story.

I love the art style of this book, it gives me Jetsons' / Paperman (Disney Short Film) vibes. But this is the darker cousin that takes on the fact that capitalism just wants mindless drones to do work without complaint and once you can complain and rise up they are going to either put you in your place or find something better.

We also see how human prejudice has just changed targets from other humans to mechs (tho the only hate crime we see done to a mech in this was done by a white guy so this could be incorrect).

This is gorgeous from beginning to end, along with a really deep message. I will for sure be reading the rest of this series.

Lovely illustrations. Set in a futuristic world where robots are fighting for their rights. What happens when a human falls in love with a robot? Read to find out

This graphic novel left me completely speechless after I finished it. I was worried going into it, that it was a little on the shorter side, and had a lot it wanted to accomplish, but I had no reason to worry! The storyline, and sub plots are not rushed over, or completely ignored. I've never read anything like this before and I can't wait to read more, and discover more of the politics and rules involving the various robots and AI's.

I appreciated having Elle as a main character, she was feisty, and sarcastic and had such a big heart. It's hard not to fall in love with her, and root her on no matter what it is that she is doing.

Overall I thought this was a lot of fun, and unlike anything I've ever read before. Normally I'm not one for romance in books, but I was totally involved with Elle and her love interest.

I recommend this to anyone who is interested in reading sci-fi or is looking for something that is a little shorter but still packs a big punch.

I think this is a really fun exploration of the theme of robots, ai, and human interaction. The art was unique and dynamic and the story moved along at a decent pace. I really began to get invested towards the end as things between different communities came to a head and wished that either this book was longer or we saw a bit more of that plot happening earlier. I'll be picking up the second volume for sure.

A very sweet story about a world where robots exist, and are prejudiced against. One of the cutest romance graphic novels I've read

Was this review helpful?

To be honest, I couldn’t even finish the book. It felt rushed and forced and I couldn’t find much about it that I actually enjoyed. The “romance” fell completely flat for me and I couldn’t even get through a full 50 pages. It all just feels like a very poor attempt at talking about social justice issues, but the book only made it feel forced.

God this was SUCH an unexpected read, and I loved it!! The art still is so full of life and fluid, and I was absorbed in the story for every moment!
I can't wait for the next volume!!!

This is quite a trip. Excellent job of creating a world in a very short amount of time. There's a handful of mysteries now, and I'm very curious what will happen next.

I received this book from NetGalley as an eARC in exchange for a review.

I requested this book because I have ready another by Kid Toussaint recently and really loved it. This one was not as easy to follow for me. It was an interesting plot but I feel like there might have been a little too much jumping back and forth for me to really follow easily. The art style is AMAZING and I love it.

Thank you to NG and the author/s for gifting me a copy of this graphic novel in exchange for a review. While the storyline was quite intriguing at first I lost interest quite quickly. There was too much discrepancy between whether it was going to be a romance or not. I thought the illustrations were lovely though and i think someone who is really into graphic novels would enjoy this a lot

Usually another involving sci-if/robots is not my thing, but this story sucked me in. You really want to root for the lead robot and the lead human and wanting them to be together.

In a world where IA have strict rules, humans and robots are on the cusp of war.
Beautiful illustrations and colours!
Can’t wait to read on in this series.
