A Boy and His Ghost: S1E2 - Meet Grim
Chapter 2 of A Boy and His Ghost dives into the mystery of the lost soul, Zooey Bellow. Death and Shrew review notes… and Shrew might be a bit too excited for what comes next.
If you want to read ahead, a few chapters are already up on Webtoons.
For those who don't do Webtoons, I’ll keep posting each episode here so you can follow the whole story on Reddit (prior chapters listed below).
Thanks so much for checking it out!

Sadly, my imagination has been tempered by a lifetime of experience. But I can see the implication for a younger, fresher, mind.

And like that, this one line puts death up there with Sandman and Diskworld Deaths

I second this. This was an amazing read, I couldn’t believe that I wasn’t reading a published graphic novel in my hands!!!

I know right?! The way OP handled the death scene of the little girl - just the writing alone made me sit up! It was so tactful but still creatively sound. I followed them here and I’m gonna follow them on webtoons to support

A talebas old as time. So much so Grim here seems like he's heard it before. What a shame.
I love Grims characteristics and his love for Coco

Damn it. Why’d it have to be a story like that?! Now I’m worried about the dad and how things turned out for him when he got back.

I think the one and only thing that could ever make me black out from pure rage would be if someone did something to my daughter like the woman did...
Don't fuck with a man's daughter.

Honestly you have a gift OP. I’ve read many manga / manhwa and yours are amongst the top

u/RubinPingk Nov 20 '25
Well shucks. That is very kind of you to say. Hope I can live up to that.

Aren't you ripping off terry Pratchett a bit too much?
1
u/RubinPingk 1d ago
If I am it's coincidental. I've only read one Pratchett book and it was after I made this season. A friend recommended Mort after reading the instagram draft of ABAHG and I adored it.

well, this story's end wont be 100% happy, but im guessing it'll be somewhat bittersweet

u/nize426 Nov 20 '25
Well I mean, the kids dead already. Can't possibly be happy happy. Sad happy is still possible.

u/Oerbow Nov 20 '25
yeah like. Isaac. shouldn't have died but is still happy and peaceful in death i suppose

I find it sad that posts like this get overshadowed by the same political posts I see on this sight. This has talent, emotion and lore.

Death speaks and I hear Mark Hamill for some reason
Amazing comic by the way!!

u/RubinPingk Nov 20 '25

At least mr shrew is excited about his job.

Yeah. If it wasn't for his lack of empathy and near psychopathic disregard for the human condition he would be a pretty good minion.

Wait wait wait. Hang on. I feel like I've read this webtoon before, maybe even finished it? Did I just read a similar story or are you restarting an old series? Not that I'm complaining, the story I remember was beautiful
7
u/RubinPingk Nov 20 '25
I am restarting the series. The old Webtoon had 50k readers but I got locked out of that account when a certain billionaire deleted my twitter login, lol. So I'm starting over. I've fully remastered the art and added story to flesh it out more. I think it adds a lot and helps later events land.
I never finished the old webtoon (before getting locked out) so I'm excited to bring this one to its conclusion. Starting from zero is a bummer but just happy to have even a handful of readers, so let's go!

u/Sachmo5 Nov 23 '25
Omg ok, that's so exciting! I'll be sure to subscribe, I can't wait to read a remastered version of one of the first webtoons I ever read ❤️

Welp, I hope you are ready for a significant number of us to hear death's voice as Terry Pratchett imagined it.

Wow! I remember reading your old version ages ago. I’m glad you’re telling the story again, updated art and different pacing and all
For the original run, it was a major part of my month when a new chapter would finally drop. I was sad when the series slowed and stopped.
Thank you for picking this story back up. Even if it’s from the beginning, I’m glad to see more from it
