This story revolves around Leon who has an ability to see voices in colours and can identify people by the colour of their voice. He is a high school student who has been having a lot of nightmares. The story begins when he encounters scenes similar to his nightmares during a part-time delivery job.

He soon learns that there are monsters called Timorem which feed on people's fears and an organization called Catharsis helps fight them for people who cannot face their own fears. How he gets entangled into the world of Timorem and Catharsis, all the while learning to face his own fears forms the story.

The plot was very intriguing. This webcomic made me look up Synesthesia (which the MC probably doesn't have since he cannot see the colour of his own voice, but I could be wrong here). The art was beautiful. Would have loved to read more chapters just to see more of the artwork.

This webcomic is marked as complete, but it is clearly the end of only the first season. We don't know if a second season will be made. So I'd recommend this if you are okay with a story that has a lot of loose ends but is still interesting.

Just a heads up. If you are easily scared, you probably should not start reading this at night, especially near a window.

Amazing. It is just filled with suspense and that's what makes you want to just go on reading it.

The story concept was great. Funnily enough I found it really helpful that each character, when seen from the MCs viewpoint had a different colour washed around their speech bubble. It's a great way to represent synesthesia. The plot was very original, and so many interesting concepts were set up. It's a shame the author ended the story so abruptly without tying up a whole host of loose ends. I guess that's the risk from a weekly cartoon, especially when the author is studying and juggling life in general. I hope one day they will revisit this series and give it the conclusion it deserves.

The story has so much potential but suddenly... ends, which was a disappointment.
The art starts good but at the end is wonderful.
I really like characters like Paris, Harvey, Leon, Shion, Ana... but I'm not sure about Noel and Ami. Female perspective seems lost, the are "just there" or not (some of them disappear and that's all).
It's a shame the end so rushed but I'm sensing a second part coming at some point (even thought
it probably never happens).
I loved some details like the colors in the voices, the backgrounds of the nightmares, everything looks impeccable.
Give it a try but don't expect answers.

This story are good n the amazing art too. I admired it, I was curious about Paris past life n that Elliot guy too. It's a good thing the author giving the teaser in the end so I will know it will continue in the future. The most I really wanted to see is Paris face so badly to be honest. My favourite characters are Leon, noel, paris, harvey and shion.

It would be 5 stars but it ended on a cliffhanger and they said there would be more :(

This was a really cool webcomic on webtoons that was an interesting story about a high school boy who sees sound as color and can walk through special barriers created by demon creatures and those that hunt them. I don't know if there will be a season 2. Season 1 ended abruptly. I really hope its not over because there is a lot of unanswered questions.
