엄마를 만나러 가는 길 1

On the Way to Meet Mom #1

by GOMYANG, 고먕

폐건물에서 구조된 모리는 보육원에서 살게 되었다. 폐건물과 달리 보육원은 바닥이 평평하고, 깨끗한 옷을 주었으며 시간에 맞춰 음식이 나왔다. 그리고 보육원 아이들을 보살펴주는 어른, 후원자가 있는 곳이었다. 어느 날, 모리에게도 후원자가 생겼다. 향긋한 들꽃 향기가 나는 편지와 포근한 햇살처럼 부드러운 망토, 알록달록한 크레파스와 말하는 인형을 선물해 준 후원자. 모리는 생각했다. 얼마 전, 자신의 친구 로디나를 찾아온 ‘엄마’라는 사람처럼, ‘혹시 이 사람이 나의 엄마가 아닐까?’하고. 그렇게 모리는 한 걸음, 두 걸음 미지의 길을 떠났다. 엄마를 만나러 말이다. 과연 모리는 엄마를 만날 수 있을까?

hi, i love this SO MUCH

agh it was just so good. if you like found families, read this right now!! It truly shows that family, (or in this story's case, a 'mom') doesn't have to be conventional. Who says Mori (our protagonist who sets out on his journey to find his 'mom') can't have more than 1 mom?? In fact, who says his mom needs to be a human? Ryder, Aiya, Miria, the Fah clan are all amazing moms and aunties and grandfathers TT. Man, i really started tearing up outside when Aiya sacrificed itself TT. Also the page where it shows the different Fah clan servants sending their "job applications" to be Mori's auntie or mom or grandfather, and their reasons being 'I am positive I can carry Mori in my arms all day', 'I am confident I can be strict with and care for Mori' they love him so much???????? omfg i cannot

additionally, the art in this series is top tier. the author really paid extra attention on the background sceneries, in order to help us immerse in the world, and to see the world through Mori's eyes. The sceneries were really breathtaking and I found myself pausing to zoom in on a lot of panels to just observe and admire the art, which honestly doesn't happen too often when i'm reading webtoons

my emotions really got me when i read the ending few chapters. please give this story a shot

Seeing the world through a child's eyes is always a great reminder of the best in us- wonder and joy at the universe and it's diverse creations, and the devastating, intertwined love-grief of parenthood....

(This is a webtoon.)

A short story on the meaning of family and love, and wonder of the world through the eyes of a child. So incredibly heartwarming. The art is beautiful and magical. One of the best pieces of media i have consumed this year. A gentle reminder that the hands that raise us can take many forms.

Lovely, sweet and feel-good story with gorgeous art, about an adorable toddler and his chosen/found family. Includes some peril. I read it free on Webtoon.

Ali told me to read this, very short webnovel but very sweet :')

[Jillie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sometimes you just need to read about love and hope. And also motherhood, but from the perspective of beings who reproduce asexually and have no concept of what that means.

I'm a sucker for found families and if this ain't that then I don't know what is. And the art is also so pretty and cute, 10/10, I did cry at the end ✨
