10 years (and a pronoun change) after his failed confession to Izzy, Nate is hired to take the life of the woman who broke his heart. Will he carry out the hit, or will he take a shot at love one more time?
My Assassination Target is My Childhood Crush? is a 50+ page romantic dramedy where unrequited love threatens to resolve itself in the most inconvenient way. This will be our second crowdfunded comic book — our first one, Forever Home, was successfully funded over at Kickstarter in late 2024!
By supporting this campaign, you’ll help fund our first print run of this story, and it guarantees you a physical edition before it’s on sale anywhere else!
Meet Nate (he/him)
Birthday: Aug 24 (28 years old) Favorite Color: Dusty Rose Favorite Treat: Chashu Bao (pork buns) Ideal Date: Movie night at home & chillin’ on the couch together
In the decade since getting his heart broken, Nate kept his mind off of things by getting a job (contract killing), redo-ing his whole wardrobe (transitioning), and picking up new hobbies (smoking).
While he didn’t intend for life to end up this way, at least it’s a stable paycheck and in no way reminds him of his failed romantic exploits (until now).
Meet Izzy (she/her)
Birthday: March 3 (28 years old) Favorite Color: Blue Favorite Treat: Cookies & Cream ice cream topped with peanut butter chips Ideal Date: An amusement park — with thrill rides! She’ll never admit it, though…
Izzy has spend the last ten years adjusting to becoming an international conglomerate princess overnight due to her father’s business dealings.
Now back in the States, she plans to carve out her own piece of the empire, get her life back, and possible revisit old relationships she was forced to abandon.

Lee Evans is the shared creative persona of the duo behind Rainy Day Atelier. We’re passionate about crafting diverse stories that interest us, which often explores how character relationships fare in supernaturally-influenced (or just plain unfortunate) situations.
This is our second go-around, so we know a thing or two about how to run a successful comic book campaign. However, there are always chances of human or technological errors occurring that may delay printing or shipping of books. We’re fully dedicated to getting these rewards out as soon as we can!
