* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: DoubleSubverted with Matcha. Milk initially tried adopting him by picking him up, but he bit them in response and the duo left him alone. Fortunately, Milk came back later and took him home for real this time.
Added DiffLines:
** A rarer, more dramatic example would be when Milk meets Matcha for the first time. Matcha, having just been abandoned by his previous owner - who looks somewhat like them to boot - is not in a good mood and bites the bear for trying to pet him. It's only after he has some time to calm down that he's willing to let them be affectionate.

It is a SliceOfLife comic featuring interactions between two bears - a brown, stoic and mute one named Mocha, and a white, borderline hyperactive one named Milk. The duo originally began doing their own thing, but were joined by a dinosaur/dragon pet named Matcha in 2019. Prior to this, there was a story featuring the duo and some other characters such as an owl and a fox, but these comics have largely been lost and their "canon" status is debatable.

* CartoonAnimal: Matcha is some kind of dinosaur or dragon - it's not clear which.
* EarlyInstalmentWeirdness: In panels from the original comic, Milk and Mocha were assigned female and male genders, respectively, and the comics were a bit more dramatic, focusing on bullying towards Milk for being a white bear. There was also more of a supporting cast. Later comics would focus more on a SliceOfLife approach just around the duo (this time with the creators refusing to identify them as a particular gender and leaving it to fan interpretation), and later their pet Matcha.
* RedOniBlueOni: The outgoing, hyperactive, impatient and talkative Milk (the "red") contrasts with the stoic, patient reserved, and silent - implied to be mute - Mocha (the "blue").
* TheSpeechless: Mocha never speaks out loud, often talking with gestures, nods or a tablet/whiteboard. It is implied they are mute.
