Thanks, Kickstarter, for continuing to bring me web comics I love in easy to re-read print editions. TOY is in its third volume, and while I sort of miss the early days, it definitely retains its charm. Also Alfons is a great addition to the character cast. TOY is a honest and charming romance. If that's your thing, give the webseries a go. Then back kickstarters for honest and charming postcards.

Chapter 7-10
- Oh so they are in uni now and didn’t mention that??
- The alt text saying “oh is that all? i thought you were gonna suggest we go spend some time alone in an isolated environment when we've already discovered we sometimes have slight difficulties relating to each other in ways other than physically” may be a joke but it’s kinda uncomfortable, even the comments thought so too. And that Milo seems way more invested in talking than Liam is. Hmmmm, hopefully it improves.
- Liam’s curly hair is so cute
- Their communication is garbage most of the time, sorry
- The alt captions are pretty funny
- Liam’s coming out scene is pretty great though
- Okay the dad just said “oy gevalt” they’re definitely Jewish
- Honestly Scared for them to move in together

I LOVE this! It's still an ongoing webcomic but it's already really long so I'm putting it on my read shelf.
It's a really good slice of life comic following the lives of Milo and Liam. It flows very naturally and all the situations they find themselves in are very realistic and relatable, without useless relationship drama which I personally hate. I also really appreciate that the author decided to make the more anxious character bi and the more outgoing one gay - usually bi people are portrayed as outgoing and extroverted and this is a nice and welcome change. I also really like the surrounding characters since this is also a comic about family and friendships.
If you love character driven queer stories and established relationships then this will be for you and I highly recommend it!
