Please! Mr. Bear!

Second of more to come Korean web comic features. First one's Noblesse :]



Title: Please! Mr. Bear! (the bear that it refers to is not the one in the image above)
Author/Artist: Mk
Summary (via mangafox.com): After the ending of his last true love, a white-collar worker experiences the excruciating sorrow of parting. Walking around the empty city aimlessly and now living a prosaic life, how will he be able to put back the broken pieces of his heart and love again? A philosophical and heartwarming story about an emotion called "love"...

My Take:
A really cute story about looking on the bright side of things.

The main character is really easy to empathize with, and all the flashbacks make you sympathize with him as well. (I learned the difference between the two last year in english haha). I was silently cheering him on as he faces each increasingly empty day.

Art wise, it's beautiful :] The colours really match the mood of every individual panel, eg. hazy when he's remembering the "good old days". The gradients are gorgeous *u*

My only complaint is that the chapters on mangafox is a tad messed up. The pages repeat 3 times before it moves onto the next chapter. Not a big hassle as you can manually click on the chapters from the dropdown.

If you don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling after reading this story, you have no heart.
