Simple pricing
Preview free. Pay when you love it.
No surprises at checkout — see the whole book first.
It's one of a kind — literally. Every page is built from your relationship: your photos, your moments, your inside jokes, illustrated into a custom comic book. There's no other copy of it anywhere, which is exactly why it lands so much harder than flowers or chocolates.
Do I need to write or draw anything myself?
No. You answer a few simple questions and add some photos — about five minutes — and we turn it all into finished comic panels with captions. You can tweak any line or regenerate any panel from the preview screen.
Is this a good gift for a boyfriend who says he doesn’t want anything?
It's perfect for him. Guys who 'don't want anything' usually mean they don't want more clutter. A comic book starring him — funny, personal, and shelf-worthy — is the boyfriend gift that breaks through.
Can we make it together, like a couples book to fill out?
Absolutely. Lots of couples build it side by side, adding their favorite memories and photos together. The difference is you end up with a beautifully finished, printed keepsake instead of a half-filled fill-in book.
How fast can I get it for Valentine’s Day or an anniversary?
The digital version is ready the same day, so you’re never stuck even last minute. Printed hardcovers ship in about 5 business days, with rush options at checkout.
What if I don’t love the preview?
Then you don't pay. Your first panels are free to view, and every finished recap carries a 100% happiness guarantee — we'll fix it or refund you.
