Nevermore is my favorite webcomics these days. I love the main romance, the worldbuilding, the art, the themes, the secondary characters, the mysteries, everything. It's very freely based on Edgar Allan Poe's works, but you don't have to be familiar with his work to understand.
Lenore and Annabel Lee are dead. Like all dead, they're amnesiac, but they feel drawn to things that remind them of their past lives, and they sure feel drawn to each other.
They are enrolled by force in the Nevermore academy, that teaches people who died too young how to become powerful ghosts.
I love the memory themes here. Lenore and Annabel Lee don't remember the same parts of their relationship at all. The memories of your death - not the facts, but your emotional state at this moment - gives you strong haunting powers. I can't wait to see how Lenore and Annabel Lee died.
The misunderstandings, and the secrets, are part of the conflict of the relationship, so is Lenore's habit to act without thinking and Annabel Lee's habit to think too long and too coldly. Still, I long to see them together, in flashbacks or in the future.
I've recced it a few times, but it's the first time I do it in English. I wanted to choose an excerpt, but wasn't able to. So try the first chapter, just the first, and see if it works for you!
First chapter (this one has music too!)
