I tried reading this book last year and I literally dropped it after the first chapter, didn't think there was too much in it.

I am glad I came back.

Love the art, don't really know where it's all going yet but it's so beautiful and it's fun to read.

"She found him singing. His voice was light. And didn't carry far... but there was something beautiful about it anyway. "Oh! Welcome home!""
 

Shazleen Khan wrote (in the back of the book) that she wanted to make this something comforting... AND IT IS! I could feel myself get instantly attached to the characters, especially Zach and Sam. Absolutely love the art style, it's great! It has the same vibe as The Croaking on Webtoon, I didn't even realise this was a Webtoon! All the characters are so attractive šŸ˜…. Definitely need to know more about Musa, Zhen and Aria. I also wanna know a lot more of the fantasy element for the series, after seeing Emira shapeshift- are they all able to turn into their respective animals? Or not if they're only half like Zach is only half bird and Sam half rabbit, half deer? What do the animals symbolise? I want to know more about the Gods and Messengers and what happened. I'm intrigued! This slice of life was funny and as I introduced, feels incredibly comforting and just feels good to be a part of. I love how open and unjudgemental everyone is too, Sam with her body hair and Zach's line of work- no hate, no shame! 

 Last note, also clever how every character (minus Zhen?) pretty much interacted with each other without knowing in one scene- when Zach poses for charity both Musa and Sam are there donating!

It is marvelous! The style is gorgeous, the characters are so diverse and relatable, I am so happy to see so many characters from the lgbtq+ community in a comic.

So fun, inclusive, and beautiful!! Iā€™m sad I missed out on the print run but you can read the digital comics on WebToons or Tapas. Thank you Ashley for sharing about it.
