Someone sent me an ask about this comic the other day, so I pushed it to the top of my reading list. I really want to thank the anon who did this, because this comic was delightful!

On The Way to Meet Mom is a very short but deeply rewarding read, with some stunning art and heartwarming relationships that readily draw you in. There are 28 episodes available free on webtoon, but from fast pass, I can see episode 31 is the last. It follows Mori, a nonverbal human toddler, looking for his “mom” in a world where humans seem to be mostly on the brink of extinction.

Instead of finding his mom, Mori meets alien creatures which resemble angels or demons far more than they do humans.

One of those creatures is Ryder, who quickly positions themself as Mori's protector upon seeing the emblem on his cloak, hoping to make money off of Mori's safe return. Miria is another, Mori's secret patron, who was caring for him from afar during his time at the orphanage and whose house is Mori and Ryder's end goal.

It's hard to be much more detailed than that without spoiling the short comic's story, but what I will say is that the most heartwarming thing about this comic is how much love and affection everyone around around Mori clearly demonstrates for him.

The bonds Mori shares with Ryder, Miria, Aeyi, and Miria's staff are all unique and deeply charming, and you can quickly get attached to all of them. I'm including one of my favorites among Mori's interactions with the house staff because, I mean, look how cute this is.

The art and humor of this comic are genuinely so charming to me, I loved them so much and cannot wait to see the last three episodes.
