Maliki #1

The cover of this 2007 Ankama release sets a wonderfully cozy, slightly melancholic tone: pink-haired Maliki lounges in a fluffy armchair with a tiny purple kitten perched on her knee, while a second cat surveys the room from atop a tall scratching post — a guitar leaning casually against the wall in the background. The subtitle Broie la vie en rose ("grinding life through rose-colored glasses") hints at a series with both humor and heart, perfectly captured in this warm, everyday domestic scene. A charming introduction to what looks like an endearing slice-of-life Franco-Belgian manga.
