This is chapter 1 of The Day We Met, an ongoing webcomic by Falco Works. Currently you can read up to the beginning of Chapter 5 for free online (136 pages in all), or subscribe to the artist's Patreon (see below) for early access to future pages, hi-res images, project files, WIPs, and some NSFW art, including a few comics related to this one.

Best places to read

The best place to read, in my opinion, is e621, since it has navigation buttons and currently has all public pages. Currently, every page is rated Safe, so you can also use e926 (an official mirror of e621 without NSFW posts) without missing any pages, though it's possible this won't be true of future pages. Note that this isn't an "official" source: posts are reuploaded here by users after being posted publicly by the artist, so new pages will probably not show up here until they've been up for a few hours elsewhere.

The tumblr page is the best official source, since it also has navigation buttons, but it's currently lagging a little bit behind: none of chapter 5 is on there yet, while other free sources have up to chapter 5, page 3.

The comic can also be read at the artist's various social media profiles (see the linktree above), if you don't mind scrolling manually. I recommend looking there for any pages not yet available on tumblr if you don't want to use e621/e926.
