Synopsis

Only some children in the orphanage are lucky enough to have a patron—and a small, curious child named Mori starts receiving gifts one day. Mori does not speak, but he listens and enjoys the company of his friend, Rowena, who tells him everything he needs to know. But once Rowena disappears in the warm embrace of her mother, Mori realizes one thing: if every child has a mother, then his own must be out there somewhere.

Having packed his little bag, put on his boots, and donned a red cape—undoubtedly a gift from his mother—Mori sets foot outside of the orphanage and begins his journey. The outside world is dangerous; ever since aliens took over Earth, humans have dwindled in numbers, and various creatures roam the vast lands and build their settlements. Ryder, a scarlet-skinned alien with horns and five eyes, encounters Mori and, realizing his origins and the dangers that await him, decides to help Mori's quest and protect him until he meets his mom.

This is a cute, nice story that's quite overhyped.

OTWTM isn't a bad story---it's great, and one of the most interesting manhwas I've read in the past year. The general plot is sweet, but what lies beneath is a really interesting take on an alien apocalypse.

I would love to see it again in a more traditional adventure comic---the little teases we got of how the world operates are really fascinating. What really makes the world feel ...

With stunning visuals and a cute protagonist, this manhwa blows it out of the water. The premise is very simple yet very compelling: just a feeble little human boy, on the quest to find his mother or a semblance of one. How he makes it work is a journey to behold. At the end, you feel like it was you, the reader, who was taking care of little Mori the whole time.

"On the Way to Meet Mom" is a story that you cannot miss. It's like a breath of fresh air filled with just wholesome moments coupled with epic scenery and landscapes. It also doesn't ...

The story revolves around a boy searching for his mother, who runs away from an orphanage. The work conveys the idea of mothers and their importance in life, which is a fairly good idea, although its use in the manhwa was mediocre.

The characters are interesting at first, especially in terms of design, but after a while, you discover they are just empty shells without purpose; they all work to the protagonist's advantage, except for Miria, in whom I found some good qualities, and I liked her relationship with Mori. The story begins with Mori at the orphanage with a friend who receives letters from ...
