Life isn’t perfect, but it has perfect moments💞















This is a short romantic comic (often called a “webcomic” or “comicvid”) about a shy/awkward photographer named Peter who becomes completely obsessed with a girl who lives in the apartment across the street. Here’s the full story panel-by-panel:
Peter is a photographer who happily takes photos from his window every morning, smiling like a lovestruck idiot.
One day he notices something falling from the building opposite — a blue flower hair clip.
He looks out and sees the beautiful girl who lives there. Hearts everywhere. He’s instantly smitten.
Every morning he wakes up excited, grabs his camera, and waits for her to appear so he can photograph her leaving the building.
He takes hundreds of candid photos of her and pastes them all over his wall in a giant heart shape. Classic yandere/stalker behavior, but drawn cutely.
One day the hair clip falls again. He’s thrilled — another sign from fate!
Then disaster: a sign appears on her door — “TENANT MOVED OUT.” She’s gone.
Peter has a full meltdown, clutching his head in despair.
He keeps obsessively taking photos of her empty apartment door anyway.
More time passes; the hair clip keeps falling in his imagination/daydreams because he can’t let go.
He starts climbing out his window or hanging dangerously just to get a better view of the now-empty apartment.
Eventually a new tenant moves in — the same girl is now on the balcony hanging laundry, wearing the blue flower clip, looking down confused.
Peter, who has fallen or is leaning way out the window holding the hair clip he presumably caught earlier, looks up and sees her.
She waves and smiles at him. He blushes with hearts — he finally has real contact.
Later we see his photos and memories literally flying away (he’s letting go of the obsession) while in reality she’s walking down the street and he’s nervously following/watching from his window again… but this time with some hope of actually talking to her one day.
The final panel is an ad for the full series “Shade of Memories” by Darkbox on ComicVid.
In short: It’s a cute-but-slightly-unhinged love story about a lonely photographer who stalks the girl of his dreams with his camera, loses her when she moves, almost loses his mind, then gets a second chance when she (coincidentally?) moves back or into the same building. Very typical East-Asian webcomic romance with heavy stalker/“I’ll wait for you forever” tropes played for sweetness rather than horror.
