    #1 in corporate conspiracy (25/02/2026) #8 in despair (05/02/2026) #1 in raceagainsttime(11/03/2026) #1 in gumi (30/03/2026) The lines are perfect. The structure is flawless. The foundation is a lie. Luna is a master of blueprints, a brilliant young architect who sees the truth in soaring arches and golden ratios. But she never saw the trap being built around her. When her lover, Ren Kagami, is left brain-dead after a suspicious hit-and-run, her powerful family offers a cure: a one-way ticket to Toronto and a regimen of pills to "soften the grief." But thirty thousand feet in the air, the fog clears. A hidden, frantic note from Ren reveals a terrifying truth: the medication isn't for her heart-it's for her memory. Her parents aren't mourning; they are erasing. They aren't protecting her; they are foremen in a chemical demolition of her mind. Aborting her flight and disappearing into the neon-drenched underworld of Tokyo, Luna becomes a ghost in her own life. Ren lies in the ICU, a silent witness to a corporate conspiracy that could topple an empire, and Luna is the only one left who can read the cracks in the facade. In a high-stakes game of psychological warfare, she must outrun the people who raised her before they "disconnect" the man she loves and finalize the destruction of her sanity. In a house built on secrets, the truth is the most dangerous weapon. How far will she go to save a man who cannot speak?

    At fifteen, Amara Rivers loses everything she loves. Her mother is gone, her father remarries, and her new family turns her life into a living hell. But that's only the beginning. Betrayed, sold, and trapped in a nightmare she can't escape, Amara survives years of abuse that change her forever-turning innocence into pain, and pain into strength. Trust becomes a dangerous gamble, revenge a haunting obsession. Then, just when she dares to hope, love finds her. But fate isn't done with her yet. One shocking twist will leave you breathless, heartbroken, and reaching for the tissues. Shattered Reflections is a dark, emotional rollercoaster-full of heartbreak, rage, fleeting joy, and the kind of story that lingers long after the last page.

    ⚠️Warnings⚠️ : 1) English it's not my first language. 2) I drew the ocs so don't steal my art 3) 14+ contains: Blo0d, g0re, unhealthy obsession, teen pregnancy, self h@rm, su!cide, forced marriage, s€xual @buse, c@nnibalism, young d€ath. A doomed group of friends with a lot of problems in life, they all look for the same thing but the end of the day they are all damned. Three children meet in the bright hum of a kindergarten classroom: Claire, all sunlight and big plans; Zack, quiet and serious beyond his years; and Tobias, whose worn raccoon plush and watchful eyes never stray far from the other two. Their friendship begins with crayons and crooked towers, but even in those first innocent moments, Tobias clings to them with an intensity that doesn't quite fit the room's soft colors. Claire's laugh rings too bright, Zack's careful hands seem too fragile-and Tobias holds their small world together as if he already senses how easily things, and people, can be lost. I'll make a comic on WEBTOON if the first chapter will be popular enough. Enjoy
