    paper Train Boys

    Train Boys is a comic that intertwines journey and love, set against the railroads of the American West. Two young travelers meet during a long train ride, slowly drawing closer to each other amid drifting landscapes and uncertain horizons.
    Through the journey of its two protagonists, readers are drawn into themes of travel, identity, and intimate connection. Beyond romance, Train Boys is about finding oneself in motion and embracing a freedom that feels at once familiar and unknown.
