Dream Come True (DCT)
#TruDreams

I’m the author of Dream Come True, an OC series I started back in July 2020 during the pandemic. It’s soon to become a webtoon or manga comic. The series’ original title was I Met You in My Dreams: Dream Come True, a romantic high school story about a young man who falls in love with the girl from his dreams

favourite characters
My forever fav is Amane & Tsukasa Yugi: because their tragic bond as twins shows both love and conflict. I’m drawn to their duality,Amane’s kindness vs. Tsukasa’s cruelty, and how their story explores both light and dark sides of human nature. And Mitsuba Sousuke: He’s my favorite because of his mix of sarcasm and vulnerability. Despite being foul-mouthed and dramatic, his genuine kindness (especially toward Kou) makes him unforgettable.
Yuta Okkotsu: I love Yuta because he grows from being timid and haunted to brave and capable. His bond with Rika makes his story emotional and powerful.
Legoshi: I like him because he’s a gentle soul stuck in a world that fears him. His struggle with instincts and identity feels relatable and makes him a very human character despite being a wolf.
Alma: He’s my favorite because he’s energetic, playful, and lighthearted, but hides sharp observation and strength underneath. That balance of innocence and power is really inspiring.
Kobeni Higashiyama: She’s one of my faves and I'll cosplay her soon! Because even though she’s scared and anxious, she’s surprisingly strong when it matters. That duality is what makes her stand out. And Power: I love her because she’s chaotic, funny, and caring in her own way. Her bond with Meowy and Denji shows that behind her violence, she has a big heart.
