webtoon took down one of my episodes because of the depiction of smoking (apparently it was too much for a young adult series - which is crazy because i never had a problem with that before), so i created a website where i can post my episodes freely without a corporation breathing down my neck.

i hope you guys can check it out and maybe bookmark it if you want to follow the story. the comic is also on namicomi if you're on that app too.

description: 

Autumn Lyne is used to living in the background, but that changes when her sister drags her into the orbit of a band at their high school. That’s where she meets Michael, the brooding lead guitarist who is as talented as he is complicated. But first love isn’t always a fairytale. As Autumn falls for him, she’s forced to navigate his heavy past and her own old wounds. She soon learns that even the deepest connection can’t fix a broken soul—and sometimes the greatest act of love is letting go.
