First and foremost, you can get Halfsoul for free if you want to check it out! It’s a comic on Tapas! So if anything I say in here sounds interesting, then do go check it out.
The second in the series follows Nalia, the member of the party who does not talk a lot and communicates primarily in sign language as they go after another Halfsoul that the organizations wants to eliminate. What we discover for the majority of it, however, is Nalia’s backstory and perspective on how she came to not speak and how her interactions with the world have made her who she is.
The story as a whole uses the backdrop of a fantasy setting to explore mental health and I really do enjoy it. There are a lot of very interesting concepts and visuals paired with these characters who are having trouble moving on from their past and what happens when you let yourself live in that.
I really enjoyed this installment. Nalia is an interesting character and I found myself relating to her and her struggles quite a bit. You don’t need to read the previous story about Tale to understand what’s going on, but I would suggest it for a better introduction to the universe. Definitely check it out!
