WHY?!?! QnQ This is so awesome! They aren’t gonna try to continue it or start another story in this world? There is so much awesomeness I still want to learn! TnT
F-final chapter?! Is it already that time? ;A; This has been such a grand comic to follow throughout the years. I look forward to seeing how everything turns out!
Also, digging the color shift with the setting of the sun! Y’all sure know how to set up the mood of a scene. <3
I can’t believe this series is almost over! How bittersweet! (Then again “final chapter can mean we have another year+ of updates left) I mean, you always want to know how a story/series ends but when it actually ends you feel a mixture of completeness and sadness, sort of lost. What to do next?
I think Feral is mad about not knowing about Meela’s heritage but he’s running after her without his blades, his tools of the trade. He’d have to use Melkar’s powers on her, but his demon hunting always involves blades. Otherwise if he meant to hurt her he’d have to strangle her. I think he wants to reason with her but of course Meela is in shock, probably will yell at him he/Melkar killed her family…. It’s a lot to process O_O
Even if Feral doesn’t remember being Yuen I hope Meela explains what she saw/the truth of his past. Otherwise it’s just back story/doesn’t matter to him, but really don’t keep him ignorant! (Though ignorance vs being bummed about what he lost… )
I know what you mean — I’m overjoyed, yet devastated at the same time. As for how much longer we have left, judging from a quick look at the archives, each chapter takes around half a year to update ;A; But who knows, maybe we’ll have an epilogue or something…
The end of strays, that would mark the end of my very first webcomic I read, I found art of Feral on Deviantart and whenI discovered it was for a free comic, my mind was blown. It is great to know the comic will have a proper ending, and I know it will be good. But also sad. *snif*
Same! I think it was 3ish years ago that I found some Meela artwork online and discovered this gem. Middle-schooler me had no idea web comics even existed before stumbling across Strays. UGH – the feels!!!
I’ve been reading for a month or so, and I am heartbroken that I’m not going to be able to continue for much longer. Still, I am unbelievably glad to have run across this, so thank you to everyone who has created this work of art.
And on that note, I bring tissues, pizza (Hawaiian, meat lovers, vegan, and cheese), and alcohol.

:: gladly accepts a small 750ML bottle of whisky:: Thank ye…
::saunters off and mumbles something incoherently::
Final chapter huh? Bring it!! :D
I’m so happy for you two to have made it. What you guys are doing is a very time consuming and looooonnng process. So happy for you two to be accomplishing this. The bittersweet light is at the end of the tunnel! Let’s do this!
Now I’m impatiently hoping for the next chapter. I want to think that Feral will smack her for leaving and then make her come back to them and she finally feel that she has a family ono but knowing how things work that’s probably not what’s going to happen. Probably their demon sides will fight and kill each other, making us cry and be mad at both? Maybe MAYBE!?
anyway, I love this comic and you have been doing an awesome job at it :)
Thank you!
Well, if this truly will be the final chapter may I say it’s been and honor watching it unfold page by page. hard to believe that I’ve been following this for over seven years. XD
I’ve been following this series since 2013 and I read all of Volumes 1 and 2 in a day when I discovered it.
Now it’s about to end… it’s My Chemical Romance all over again.
I don’t know what I will do once this webcomics ends! Strays has been the crowning gem on my week, the thing I look forward to every week and the thing that makes me want to stay up until all hours of the night on Thursdays to see te next page as soon as possible.
But it does take awhile for an entire chapter to update, so no need to start crying yet.
Now crying over the content of the comic… Now would be a good time. Oh Feral and Meela, PLEASE work things out. Holland has faith in you and so do I!
FINAL CHAPTER!? Nooooooooo plz nooooooo… But at the same time, YES!! I’ll have to make sure I get all the books and whatever merch I can get my hands on too. Strays is one of my all-time favorite webcomics, and you’ve brightened my life so many times with the characters and story.
So I guess this means there’ll be a final Kickstarter for the last few chapters? Count this comment as a vote for having a backing level where we get all the books and a huge load of merch. ^~^
Final Chapter already. Wow. I can’t wait to see what happens! And get the last book, then. Very excited. It’s been a long, fun ride. I can’t wait to see what your next project will be! (Here’s hoping to another project together – you make a great team)! ^_^
Final chapter of this volume? Are there any more volumes? I guess I was hoping to find out more about Holland’s family, if that had any part in the plot?
If there were to be a spinoff series, I’d love to follow Piper around. She reminds me of Catwoman, perhaps she could come across her own Batman and fall head over tail for someone, other than Feral? …cuz he’s never going to turn her in, lets face it.
Final Chapter? How can you wrap up this story with just one chapter? There are so many unanswered things! Who was the white haired guy that Feral killed at the beginning? Who actually killed his wife? What happened to Meela’s mom? When is Meela going to be trained to be a proper dream catcher? Is there an impending scuffle with the nazi-like Lyrians? Will Feral ever be free of Malkar? Why does everyone seem to have the same beaded necklaces and bracelets? Will Jyaku ever find true love??
See way too many questions. Obviously we are going to need much more than one more chapter…. Or this would be a very fun story in novel form….
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT THE LAAST CHAPPPPTAAAAARRRR!!!!!! :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( hopefully feral will not be mad at meela he better not be just worried
It can’t be the last chapter after this! D: What am I supposed to look forward to on my Fridays? DX
I wonder how Feral will act once he meets back up with Meela? Will he still be pissed or will he finally show some caring towards her and like grab her and hug her? :D
I KNOW, THEY DONT HAVE TO JUST FOLLOW FERAL AND MEELA, BUT MAKE SURE THEY ARE IN THERE, BUT DO SOME STUFF WITH THE OTHER CHARACTERS… LIKE PIPER OR HOLLAND, OR WHOEVER… PLEASE DONT END!!!!
F-final…Chapter?
(Bawls in the corner.)
My heart says it might be the last chapter of this book…
But my brain gives me the logical truth.
I hope you can tie up all the loose ends.
It still feels like this story is just beginning to me… :(
Oh no! I can’t believe we are already to the last chapter. Another of my comics I follow is also on its last chapter now, so it is sad, what will I spend those few mins of my time on now instead of such awesome comics? :P
Final chapter? Wow. I can’t wait to purchase the last book. What an amazing ride. Thank you, Samantha and Stacey for years of great reading. Congratulations, and wonderful job!! I can’t wait to see what you guys do in the future. :)
Funny how Jyaku had such faith that Feral could pull through after all his injuries and the taint and stuff, but doesn’t have confidence where this is concerned. Though of course, after dealing with Malkar coming out so many times, I guess I’d lose a little faith, too. :(
But as much as hearing “final chapter” breaks my heart, too, I’m really looking forward to seeing how Feral and Meela work all this out! Seeing him run after her so quickly makes me happy. :3
…final chapter?
Well. I did not expect that.
Good luck Algy and Celesse! I’ll be sure to look out for your new stories after strays ends.
In the meantime, I’m going to go re-read the comic again.

IrondragonMetals
I’m pretty bummed that Strays is coming to an end, but i guess it had to happen eventually.
I kinda wonder why Feral isn’t in wolf form though, it’d be easier for him to track her and i think he runs faster that way.

…… I’m going to go crazy waiting for more

I think Feral’s mad at Meela for not telling him. I think he just wants to protect her even more now.
…I hope that’s true. *sobs*

Look forward to our new stories? Lol we’re going to be lost when we don’t have a Strays page to do too once it’s over.

Maybe hold a contest in celebration? :D

That’s a good idea XD I’d support it.

Would “new stories” have anything to do with the “Sad Man on the Gallows” livestreaming page a few years ago? Or did I just dream that?

Lol yes. That is one of my next stories.

Goodness why is this the ending. There’s so many ways this fantasy world can expand.
