Hi, I was wondering if you know of any webcomic characters who are asexual but demi-romantic/gray-romantic? Some someone close to that description?
I’m not sure about demi or gray romantic specifically, but here are some comics with asexual characters who have romantic relationships:
Snug Orbit: A slice of life autobiography about love somewhere between romance and friends, featuring a polyamorous household.
Positron: In a distant future, a warp core explosion imbues a handful of fated souls with superhuman abilities. Now set adrift, it is up to Marty and his fellow survivors to determine their place and purpose in a world forever changed by their existence.
Ace of Hearts: Meet Rhys Markiel. Just your typical gay high school senior. All he wants to do, now that he’s moved to a new school, is find a boyfriend. Luckily, he manages to find the “only other gay guy” at his school. To Rhys’s surprise, that same guy happens to be an asexual who has no interest in the physical intimacy that Rhys desires.
Lovespells: A positive comic about a witch and a lady magic knight who fall in love. Set in a JRPG-inspired world.
Shades of A: When openly asexual Anwar Sardar gets dragged to a kink night by his (soon to be ex) best mate, JD; he is surprised to make friends with Chris Slate, a middle aged transvestite with a penchant for Dr Who. Convinced they’ll never meet again Anwar puts him out of his mind, but the awkwardly charming man keeps turning up in his life.
Ignition Zero: Ignition Zero is an urban fantasy comic about a group of friends who get mixed up with faeries and spirits! It takes place in the fictitious city of Glory, Maryland in the fall of 2011, and covers the adventure Robbie, Orson, Neve, and Martin have with their friend, a spirit they call Ivory. Only Ivory–and those they’ve been defending her from–may not be what she seems. There isn’t always a clear right or wrong side to a story…
I have some comics to add on this! (Note: I’m translating this as ace/aro-spec so not all of the characters I’m listing are listed as grey/demiromantic but will be on the aro spectrum!)

Fae is Quoiromantic and Demisexual
Hope this helps!
There are aro and ace characters in other comics like Dumbing of Age (her relationship progresses as normally as anyone else’s, but she’s definitely ace and arguably demiro!), Girls With Slingshots (though sex is frequently a topic of the comics, the asexual character gets into a loving and long-term wlw relationship!) and Agents of the Realm (it’s not really relevant right now! they’re too busy being urban magical girls), as well as late in Shortpacked! (where it’s the subject of a minor arc).
Now I’m gonna go read Snug Orbit
