What is Twokinds? It's a web-comic made by Tom Fischbach and set in fairly typical fantasy world of magic and swords. The difference is, instead of elves, dwarves and orcs we have several races of anthropomorphic animals (called Keidrans here) and instead of humans we have... well... humans. In this world, tensions between humans and Keidrans are high and it can take little to turn mutual mistrust and prejudices into a full-blown war.
Enter our hero, Trace, who has a case of amnesia so severe, that at the start of the story he even needs to learn his own name. He befriends a female tiger called Flora, not realizing (because of losing his memories) how much their friendship is uncommon, since most relationships between human and Keidran are at best master-slave or enemy-enemy at worst. I will not spoil anything by saying their friendship will be put to the test, especially with coming war.
I like this comic for many things. It's got multiple interesting characters. The plot isn't about cliché conflict between Good™ and Evil™. In this story neither side of human-animal conflict is completely saint or villainous. There is also a twist concerning one of the antagonists.
In addition, I admire how much the comic has improved in terms of visuals over the 12 years of its run. Just take a look at page from beginning parts of the story and compare it with one page from more recent chapters:
