FOR LOVE






























This is a popular Spanish-language internet comic/meme (often shared as a sequence of images) known for its dark, twisted romantic story. It’s a tragic tale with a shocking ending, blending sweet romance and horror. Here’s the step-by-step explanation of the plot based on the panels provided:
The Beginning: A Cute Love Story Under the Rain
It starts innocently in the rain. A shy, nerdy boy (with glasses, curly hair, and a backpack) meets a cheerful girl (with curly pigtails and big eyes).
She offers to share her red umbrella with him. They walk together, getting closer.
They share joyful moments: running in the rain, kissing, laughing, flying/falling playfully, holding hands, and celebrating wildly (with a black cat sometimes appearing as a quirky side element).
Their romance blooms quickly – first kiss, passionate embraces, silly fun. It shows them as a happy young couple in love, with silhouettes walking home together under the umbrella.
The Middle: Growing Up and Complications
Years pass (set around 1992, as seen in newspapers and yearbooks).
The boy grows up, gets a mustache, and starts a relationship with another woman (straight-haired, more mature).
They get married or live together, looking at old “1992 Memories” photo albums showing happy school photos (including group shots with the original girl).
Meanwhile, flashbacks or parallel scenes show the original girl still waiting or appearing in rainy settings, like at a bus stop.
The Twist: The Dark Reveal
The couple (now the man and his wife) finds an old newspaper: “1992 Nov. 9 – Una chica comete suidio a las orillas de un río” (A girl commits suide on the riverbank). The photo in the article is clearly the original girl from the early panels.
They react in shock and horror.
The Ending: “Lo hizo por amor” (He Did It for Love)
The final panels flashback to the “romantic” moments, but now recontextualized horrifically: the boy is shown kissing and embracing a decaying, zombie-like corpse of the girl (rotting skin, empty eyes).
It reveals that the girl died by suicide years ago (likely heartbroken or for some reason tied to him).
The boy, out of obsessive “love,” dug up her body and kept it as his “girlfriend”, living with her corpse, kissing it, and carrying it around (explaining the “flying” scenes where she’s limp, or the umbrella over a dead body).
The silhouette at the end shows him approaching home with the umbrella over the corpse.
The punchline text: “Lo hizo por amor” – sarcastically meaning the necrophilia and grave-robbing were done “for love.”
It’s a classic example of a wholesome-looking story that subverts into extreme horror/necrophilia for shock value. This comic has circulated widely online (especially in Spanish-speaking communities) as a creepy meme or “cursed” image sequence, often without credit to an original author – it appears to be an anonymous or fan-made webcomic from the early internet era. The red umbrella is the recurring symbol tying the “romance” together.
