“Winged” by Laica Chrose is a webtoon that follows an unlikely friendship between a wild crow, who is constantly on the run, and a beautiful dove, who seems content in the comfort of her gilded cage.
The artwork in “Winged” is clean and expressive, but the plot is somewhat generic. It centers around the idea that humans view crows as pests and kill them, while preferring to keep prettier birds as pets in cages. Despite the theme of “humans versus birds,” it’s almost ironic that the winged protagonists are depicted as humans when they speak.
Overall, “Winged” is a mildly interesting short story that can be read quickly. While it has its shortcomings, it’s worth a read for fans of the webtoon format.
If it sounds interested to you, it’s available as an ebook on Kindle Unlimited.
