Next volume:

VOL 3 [2nd draft pass IN PROGRESS]

I'm sorry if I take long for the next volume! Condensing the entire arc within 200 pages has been insanely difficult. Been doing multiple revisions for it but everything after VOL 3 will definitely be smoother.

I plan to release VOL 3 along with an official promotional animation. I'm a one-person army and this is a very personal passion project so I will absolutely take my time with this. Sorry for a long delay and thank you for your patience!!

This comic makes me feel rabid it's so good

It took me two hours to finish the second volume.


During that time I took a total of 24 screenshots of what I found interesting in the manga.While what came after that left me literally breathless with difficulty (simply because of the heaviness of the plot), I'm more than willing to leave this sequel with full praise.

This volume was so depressing that it caused all the plot insertions in between to seem minimal.More disturbing visuals, more intense feelings and conflicts, arguments.More new lore. the whole thing has been depressing to the point where the whole thing is depressing.But what I'm really trying to get at is that the manga is just so infectious, it's the kind of shock that you can't say anything about, you can't breathe.

I almost braced myself to finish it.All in all it's still a great piece of work's and now I totally understand why every update is so slow.It's totally worth every penny.Putting an interesting and exciting plot into a part of the story that didn't appear in the DEMO is smart as hell, but also in terms of the actual reading experience.Because if you don't do that some readers (like me, who has a distracted attention span and doesn't read often enough) can easily end their reading too early.I'm really looking forward to the back story.


As well as the RT Yago & Plover at the end of the manga is really cute and I hope to be lucky enough to see you draw more Chibi of them in the future 🥲

This is an addendum and also serves as a shout out to all the readers reading this:

It's been a while since I first posted a message, and it's been a really long time since I've been able to get my mind off of it (that's not an exaggeration I'm not kidding either).What caught me by surprise was that performance of the plover near the end of the full version, which lingered in my mind for a long time, and at the same time was one of those situations where I really panicked over it all together.It's hard for me to be so impressed with something static, but this comic actually did it incredibly well.

I have nothing else to say about it.If the initial review seems a little less than delightful, it's entirely because I'm still reeling from the depressing atmosphere of the manga.I hope that's understandable.I'm totally supportive and positive about this comic.

I'm glad you enjoyed my comic!!! Goodluck in recovering from the depressing atmosphere and look forward to even more emotionally heavy situations in the future volumes.🤭

Thank you for reading I'm very happy!!!!!!!!❤️❤️

THIS IS SO SO GOOd I’ll be thinking about this comic forever. Yago and Plover RAAAAGH I’m shaking them like chew toys. It’s the special kind of comic that had me running to find a sketchbook mid-chapter so I could scribble out their little agonized faces. If Crocodile Complex has a million fans I’m one of them if there’s none I’m dead etc. Holy guacamole 

I LOVE COMPLEXES

THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR READING RAUUGUHHHHHHHHHHHHH <33

I LOVE CROCODILE COMPLEX SO MUCH! every single aspect of the story hits one of my favorite things to see explored in fiction. I love the setting, I love the characters, I love the art, I love the pacing, and did i mention that I LOVE THE CHARACTERS! 


plover and yago are INCREDIBLE characters and their mentally-ill, codependent, accidentally murderous, cross-country road trip drives me so insane. in the best way ever. The character drama just completely enthralls me, these 2 are going to keep me up at night I swear to god. Everything about this story is so visceral, the emotions jump out of the page and make every single moment something to remember. Plover's anger, Yago's guilt, and the fear shared between them is as painful as it is endlessly fascinating! I can't get enough of these two! The contrast of violence and tenderness in this story is heartwrenching, all conveyed through stunning artwork, and a masterclass of paneling.


If you are on the fence of buying Crocodile Complex, I implore you to DO IT!! it's the type of story that you will always come back to even long after you've read it.
