The Plot:

The fantasy adventure manhwa, On the Way to Meet Mum, was written and illustrated by Gomyang. Follows the little boy, Mori, as he is rescued from a children's protection center. There, he learns new ways of life, one that includes grand care packages sent by a mysterious patron. But when his closest friends reunite with their mother and leave the center, Mori learns for the first time about the existence of a mother for every child, and decides to embark on a journey to find his own. But what sort of obstacles wait along the way? (Webtoon).

Discovery and Opinion: 

Hi everyone!! I am here to review another manhwa, and this time it is not a romance *Gasp* and doesn't have a yandere male *Double Gasp*. Like, honestly, I feel like there should just be two tags for my blog, Yandere and not Yandere, haha. In the meantime, talking about the blog, should I call you guys names? Like Coffee Enjoyers? or Readin' Roast? I have no idea, I don't think I'm famous for that lol. Anyways, I discovered this manhwa on a random Tuesday on Webtoon. I think I read it last year and remembered crying in certain chapters. Almost like Kotaro Lives Alone, which, if you haven't watched the anime, you need to!!  

This series really felt like an emotional ride, and I just adored Mori. If I saw him in real life, I would protect him until my heart stopped beating. I don't remember much, but I really loved the interesting character designs, as I have not read many manhwas that have aliens or creatures (I really need to). The story is set in a world where humans and creatures coexist, but I believe they aren't on mutual terms with each other. The creatures live in an area separate from humans. 

Characters:

Well, there are numerous characters I can discuss with the many unique character designs there are, though I will be discussing only three due to my lack of memory of other characters. First off, we have Mori, the little kid protagonist. In the beginning, he is found by the children's protection and is shown to look like a beast. His hair is long and messy, his skin scarred up, and his eyes show distress, setting up future events. As soon as he is taken into an orphanage, the boy is well groomed, and he even receives money from an unknown sponsor. "Who is the Sponsor?" You may ask. (Go read the manhwa, honestly, I think that is a must.) I believe this sponsor also handed Mori the little cape he has, and I have to say it really makes Mori stand out from many by looking like an adventurer. Mori, in general, barely speaks. He relies heavily on facial expression and body language, and I love that. He is so cute, and just reading this, I wanna take care of him myself. Bro, just look!!

Now, when this little guy embarks on a journey to find his mum, he encounters a devil named Rider, a marksman engineer who, alongside his robot invention/companion, is also embarking on his own journey. To the ladies or gentlemen who love yourselves a hot motorcycle guy, this is your one. He is a handsome demon with messy white hair and red skin. He has several green eyes scattered across his face symmetrically, and it looks epic. I tend to not like white-haired guys, but man, this one has piqued my interest. Rider's personality seems to be a very friendly individual, who may have malicious desires. When becoming close to Mori, though, he seems to change into a guy who generally cares about the kid, protecting and saving him from others. He is like Qi Rong from TGCF, except Qi Rong is just a tad messed up lol.

Lastly, we have Miria. Taking a look at her, she appears to be a biblical angel with her white hair and the six wings emerging. These wings curve like a halo and have glowing eyes appear. She is both divine and unnerving. Like a being that is angelic or is far superior. She also has four arms emerging from her, and her face is dark, followed by her eyes being only white. Miria's clothes resemble a nun-like dress and could express the character's modesty and nun-like attitude. She is intelligent, soft-spoken, and fairly kind, showing empathy to Mori. She spends most of her time studying, absorbed in her books, making Miria a favourable character.

The art style for this manhwa is amazing, and I just love how detailed the characters are!! Like they are all their own character and have very different features, apart from them not being human. I believe the demonstration of Mori's emotions was really cute, and I just enjoyed his tantrums because, after all, he is still a kid. 

What does it do well on?

The thing that this manhwa does well is convey a sense of adventure and hopefulness. The number of times my heart dropped, and I felt like crying was many. I believe it would definitely rip at your soul, just like Kotaro Lives Alone. I really enjoyed the interactions with Mori and Rider; it just felt like a father-son bonding. Especially from action scenes!!! Now, if you're interested, I'm begging you to go read it. It is wholesome and will really brighten up your day. Now I can't remember any cons to this, so you are in for a treat.
