Summary
The Roost - the world’s most prestigious military academy - has never accepted a Crow into its ranks。 Until now。 However， the conditions surrounding Scra’s acceptance are shrouded in conspiracy， and his new roommate Ky won’t rest until he finds out just where he goes every night。 Between flight tests， classes， and Murders， Scra， Ky and Ree must band together to uncover the truth about their utopia and the whispers of a superweapon - “The Croaking” - that are seeping from the cracks。
The Croaking was nominated for the 2020 Ringo Award for Best Webcomic。

This was great！ The artwork is beautiful and I'm super intrigued by the storyline。 It ends。。。not exactly on a cliffhanger， but certainly right when things get interesting， so excuse me while I head over to Webtoon to keep reading。 This was great！ The artwork is beautiful and I'm super intrigued by the storyline。 It ends。。。not exactly on a cliffhanger， but certainly right when things get interesting， so excuse me while I head over to Webtoon to keep reading。 。。。more

I liked the graphics but really felt more explanation of EVERYTHING was needed to actually get a sense of caring more about the story。

Illustrations are amazing。 I am finding the storying line quite intriguing。 I am impatiently waiting for volume 2。

I had read this previously on Webtoon。 I enjoyed reading it just as much as the second time around。 I'm not caught up with it， and I haven't decided if I'm going to wait for a physical volume 2 or just read it on webtoon。 The Croaking follows two new recruits to the military academy known as The Roost。 Ky is an osprey and Scra is a crow。 Both are outsiders as The Roost mainly consists of Eagles and Hawks， and is very hierarchical。 However， things are much worse for Crows and Scra is shunned and I had read this previously on Webtoon。 I enjoyed reading it just as much as the second time around。 I'm not caught up with it， and I haven't decided if I'm going to wait for a physical volume 2 or just read it on webtoon。 The Croaking follows two new recruits to the military academy known as The Roost。 Ky is an osprey and Scra is a crow。 Both are outsiders as The Roost mainly consists of Eagles and Hawks， and is very hierarchical。 However， things are much worse for Crows and Scra is shunned and is seen as a pariah as soon as he arrives。 Ky and Scra have already met the summer before class starts。 But when their assigned as roommates， Scra acts as if the summer never happened。Volume One really leaves you hungry for more。 Scra's background。 Ky and Scra's relationship。 School dynamics that seem to mirror the outside world。 The history of the world。 Really looking forward to how it progresses in the next volume。 。。。more

I've been reading this webcomic for ages。 I'm so mad that I didn't purchase this book when it was on kickstarter。 But， luckily， my library got it and I picked it up super fast。I love the art - but I have so many questions about what is going on！ What is Scra really looking for？ And， there is something up with Ky。 I need so much more information。 I've been reading this webcomic for ages。 I'm so mad that I didn't purchase this book when it was on kickstarter。 But， luckily， my library got it and I picked it up super fast。I love the art - but I have so many questions about what is going on！ What is Scra really looking for？ And， there is something up with Ky。 I need so much more information。 。。。more
