Knite is a flash webcomic on DeviantArt by yuumei. The story follows a group known as the Knites as they take kites with lights attached to them and fly them up into the night sky from tall buildings to give a semblance starlight to the smog filled Chinese city below, which the main character, Sen, is a member of. The story starts on a morning when another boy, Kai, unexpectedly shows up to "thank" Sen... But things are not as they seem. The characters are realistic yet deeply flawed and the story explores important themes relevant today. Coupled with the artist's skill is a beautiful and poignant story.
