"A young child sets off on a journey to find his mom." Normally with a premise that depressing, I would not want to read the book. BUT THIS IS SUCH A HEALING STORY! THE PERFECT FOUND FAMILY! IN A VERY INTERESTING DYSTOPIAN SETTING!

It is just a bunch of aliens wanting to be a mother for Mori and trying to find out what being a mother entails. This story is just so heart-wrenchingly beautiful and I wept about 40 times. AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE ART. Stunning.

I am BEGGING people to read this masterpiece. It has only 31 chapters and you can read it on webtoon. Do yourself a favour and just start it. You will be thanking me!

Küçücük bir çocuğun kendi yuvasını, ailesini bulma yolculuğunu anlatıyor kısaca. Ama bunu distopik bir dünyada yapmasının yanında kullandığı renk paleti, anlatımda kullandığı dil o kadar naif ve o kadar tatlı ki siz de kitap boyunca hem Mori'nin hem de kendinizin keşif yolculuğuna çıkıyorsunuz. Çok kısa ama çok beğendiğim bir çizgi roman oldu.

It’s been a while since a book touched me like this one. At first, I thought it would be a simple story — just Mori’s quiet journey to find his mother. But who would’ve guessed it would turn into a dystopian world where humans and animals are almost extinct, and monsters roam the land?

What truly melted me was how the people — or rather, the Aliens — around Mori adored him. They cooked for him, scolded him when he drew on the walls, and watched over him as he slept. There’s something so pure and tender in how they cared for him, like love finding a way even in the ruins of the world.

My favorite scene is when Mori gets “rescued” by the Judge. He refuses to eat, refuses to sleep — missing the Aliens who used to love him so dearly. So one of them, Rider, goes to meet him and gently asks him to show why he wants them as his “mother.” That moment shattered me in the softest way. And then there’s Rider and Myria, trying so hard to understand what being a mother means — only to realize it isn’t about being perfect or prepared. It’s about showing up, staying, and loving without end.

The design, the characters, the artwork — everything is just beautiful. I adore the emotion in Mori’s eyes, the intensity of the fight scenes, and the raw feelings on Myria’s face. The world-building and the alien designs are exactly my kind of aesthetic — detailed, heartfelt, and full of life.

Ahh… I really, really love Mori. So, so much.

POV: "yo al terminar esta conmovedora historia"


Esta es una de las historias más enternecedoras que he leído, presenciar la travesía de Mori (al inicio de este año) me llenó de inspiración y esperanza.

Para intentar "resumir" la situación, en un inicio "conocemos" a Mori, un pequeño humano rescatado de un estilo de vida salvaje y reubicado en un orfanato. En este orfanato conoce a Rowena, a quien podríamos considerar su primera amiga y "guía" en cuanto a descubrir y entender conceptos "humanos". Es entonces que una chispa se enciende en Mori y se embarca en un viaje para saber ¿en dónde está su mamá?

Claro que esa sería la premisa principal pero durante esa travesía nos encontramos en un mundo distópico (casi post apocalíptico en el que la humanidad ya no está totalmente presente) lleno de criaturas peculiares. Con un golpe de suerte Mori es "rescatado" por Ryder (un demonio buscado) y Aiya (un robot creado por Ryder), quienes poco a poco van aceptando y encariñandose con Mori en este viaje para "regresarlo" a donde pertenece.

Creo que si digo más "arruinaría" el impacto de los momentos experimentados entre los personajes, el rumbo de la historia, las dudas y reflexiones que plantea; y el enternecedor descenlace.
Entonces, solo diré: los invito a darle una oportunidad a tan bella historia

This is so precious 😭😭✨✨✨
Completely reinvents what a family is, not because no one has ever done it before but because this story does it so simply...
Instead of asking, what is a mom? Can a child grow with only one parent? Is it good for him? What even is a child?? Is this correct??? I DON'T CARE!! It feels right to love and care for this child, SO I WILL.
It just...let's you love. Unbothered by labels.

It's wholesome, but with so much substance in it. It's a bittersweet wholesome (And the bitter parts hurt 🥹🥹) , that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and gets you attached to EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER introduced. And MY GOD, were the characters good. From depth to character design, to arcs. They had everything needed.

Husband: it's been a long time since a story has played with my heartstrings, and this bitch played it like a damn guitar.
...you don't have to say all that. It sounds a little cringy. I don't want your cool internet friends (I don't have any??? What is he on about??? 💀) to think I'm cringe.

I'm not sure why this came across my BL recommendations on another site because there is nothing romance-related to this story. It is, however, a ridiculously precious story, and I'm thrilled that I read it. This was so fucking precious and devastating and wonderful! I literally cried while reading this.

I will defend baby Mori with my life. Don't play with me!

This manwha sure created the cutest and sweetest precious boi that I just want to protect with MY LIFE!
To then emotionally destroy me! I teared up a lot with some of the last chapters, and I think, if binge so all feelings at once and if I wasn't at work when I read them, I would have probably cry with them

Lo termine en un día y fue la mejor experiencia. La construcción del mundo y los personajes, las relaciones entre ellos, el arte, el protagonista, absolutamente todo está perfecto. Lloré demasiado, pero fue simplemente hermoso.
