"Home is not a place, its the people." "On The Way to Meet Mom" is a short, deeply emotional manhwa that gently tugs at your heart with every page. It follows a young boy named Mori, who is in search of his mother. Mori is just a bundle of joy and cuteness, that you would want to protect always. We embark on a journey with him where the narrative brings up questions about parenthood, how a child views parents and what parents are to them, and also how precious and joy-inducing (pardon my choice of words) a child is to them. The art is soft and warm (thecolours and heavy contrasts made the art gorgeous), perfectly matching the tone — like flipping through a gentle and loving memory in the latter half of the story. And though it’s short, it leaves a lasting impression. The worldbuilding is short but really well done and leaves you longing for more. The ending seemed a teeny tiny bit rushed. It would've been better if it lasted for a 3 or 4 chapters more considering the scope of the story is not large to begin with. But nonetheless, it was a really heartwarming read. Heavily recommend.
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.

Amazing story and breathtaking artstyle that totally fits the "whimsical" nature of the story. This manhwa takes you on a journey that helps you comprehend how each can love a person as their mother or as their child without being blood related, and how quickly you can gets devoted to someone to the point of sacrifice oneself for them. The characters are endearing and it's fun to see the innocent side of the world through Mori's eyes, It also shows the sacrifices that parents makes in order to preserve the innocence of a child and that sometimes even though the parents are the main caretaker ofsomeone, it takes a village to proprely raise children.
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'tskimp out on the action as well. You really can tell the care and detail the manhwaga put into every single panel. For a short read, this was very much worth sitting down for and gives a place to self-reflect.
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. It's a very fluffy, heartwarming tale about found nuclear family/getting adopted by biblically accurate angels. The world it takes place in is its most interesting aspect by far. 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 feelalive, besides the really interesting world building, is the art---how I wish manhwas weren't also scrollers, as the gorgeous illustrations felt cheapened by the vertical format. Character/monster design is pretty good, though competition isn't very step in the world of copy-paste webtoon. The story ended exactly where it needed too, but I really wanted more of it. In the sea of copy paste otomoe/isekai power fantasy slop, this comic was breath of fresh air---but that doesn't mean it's legendary. It's cute, and sweet, and the bar for good manhwa is very, very low. I still recommend this manhwa, but It's not very deserving of the top 100 list.
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 fromher mother, which piques his curiosity. After she leaves the orphanage, the boy decides to run away, which explains that the story's objective is to find Mori's mother. As the story progressed, I started to lose interest, and by chapters 12 and 13, it became slow and offered nothing to keep me engaged. Then we discover that Miria, Mori's caretaker, welcomed him into what was supposed to be his home, which rekindled my hope. I loved the relationship that developed between Miria and Mori; it was beautiful. However, in the later chapters, I felt the story was rushed, and the ending was poor because it didn't answer any of the questions, especially the most important one: Where is Mori's mother? Why didn't the author mention her? Strengths: The manhwa's art is excellent, and the designs and world setting are good, but they weren't fully utilized. Weaknesses: The plot is unpredictable, the characters are superficial, the writing and explanations of events are either incomplete or nonexistent, and the ending is poor. The author relies on the protagonist's attractiveness to create a romantic connection .
