This story is based on a nightmare I used to have as a kid. I made this manga for practice purpose. I wanted to become better at drawing and experience what its like to draw my own manga. Hence this story. This will be the first of more so stay tuned and follow me on instagram @fonkyninjadraws .
I like the theme of the boy facing his own anxiety and/or his own subconscious fears in a dream setting. It's like a subconscious fear of not being authentic to one's true feelings and getting punished for not being "real" OR one's innocents getting taken away. I'm no dream interpreter though lol . The story makes me wonder about the character's relationship with other family members; maybe having a different monster behind the door correlating to the relationship with those certain family members. You did amazing at keeping the interest page by page, making me want to turn the page "like, mini-cliffhangers". I wouldn't have known it was a dream until, I read the backstory and notice the genre was psychological too! Maybe have him waking up at the final pages? But, I think you left some hints in the dialogue with the characters in the first page feeling tired and wanting to go to sleep! Anyway, Keep up the passion, Fonky Ninja! :)
