《Sak is an apathetic young man with a "useless" power. He meets his caller, Lima, and together they survive a gruesome yet freeing fate.》
If you're a fan of supernatural and apocalyptic stories, this is a good manhwa with an in depth story. The nuance and connection of all the events together tied with heart wrenching lines really sold it for me. 83 chapters was not enough, but the story wrapped up nicely and was one of the best reads I had in a while.
《Prince Wolfgang returns to the palace after living in hiding. He rejects royal life, but finds his will to fight for the throne in Soohyuk, a catamite of the King. Hand in hand, they take back the empire soiled by the king and rebuild a life of their own.》
Many other historical manhwas pale in comparison to this one. Its story is so unique that it had me almost pulling an all nighter just to read what happens next. Even now I still vividly remember the night they share in the garden.
《Jaeho suddenly inherits both his father's wealth and his loyal servant after his death. He takes advantage of Liu, who follows his every demand diligently. Despite their rocky beginning, they come to love and depend on each other, especially as Jaeho heals Liu from his past trauma.》
Master/Servant story that starts out badly because Jaeho uses his body without seeing him as a person, but he gets better as he falls in love. By the end, they both hold unconditional love for each other.
《Skylar is a private and lonely kid, but it only takes one mistake for him to be involved with Cirrus, his crush's best friend. As he heals from trauma himself, he begrudgingly weaves his way through Cirrus' life and helps him through his problems. But he eventually finds himself in love with him...about 80 chapters in.》
Very unique, in-depth high school story. It doesn't need "A likes B + predictable ploys" to gain traction. It's truly a good, addictive read.
《Hamin, son of a gangster, reluctantly takes in a bodyguard, Sehyuk, who's a weirdo but in a hot way. Together they defeat a rival gang(?) and replace their employer-employee relationship with something more.》
Bodyguard manhwa; Liked this story a lot more than I thought (I'm a whore for subtly obsessive tops), and no number of rereads will make me sick of it. It's a breath of fresh air compared to other sex-driven titles; good story, good art.
《Stuck in a inescapable cycle, Yeo-Heun spends yet another life haunted by how the past emperor treated him. Afraid he may indirectly cause death to others, he lives each day under the current emperor's suffocating affection wondering if and/or when he'll break free.》
Historical Joseon era manhwa that tells a compelling story of fear, resentment, and change. I can't remember how many times I've reread this, but you can feel/sympathize for both characters.
《Chinatsu is an assassin who resents killing and Kasumi is a blind man who sees past his imperfections. Chinatsu protects Kasumi and shows him the tangible world while keeping the secret that he's a cold-blooded killer.》
Assassin/blind man manga. Really good story about unconditional love and healing. It's also cute that they depend on each other so much despite being a duo that no one would expect.
《Seohyun, a fashion designer rejected by the fashion and modeling world, finds his muse in Hyowon, a popular model who lusts after him. They start off rocky but manage to stick together as they explore the fashion world.》
Designer/Model manhwa; Really cute, read it twice I think. It's nothing too insane or special, but it tells a good story about self worth and comeuppance. That and the art's really good.
《Young Hanjoo wishes to the heavens to have one person to call his own. Years later, in the midst of a fbw relationship with his sunbae, he welcomes a new "step-brother" who turns out not only to be the granter of his wish but also his desired person. While being manipulated, belittled, and misunderstood, Hanjoo fights an internal battle of right vs wrong.》
Supernatural, college; Idk I love it when webtoons pull that 오빠/형 card. It's such a good, nuanced expression.
《Shizuki is a popular high school actor with the special ability to read people's emotions through various balloons floating over their heads. He meets the school "bad boy," Yuusei, who is not only a fan but a much softer and genuine boy than he leads on.》
Supernatural high school manga; This will always be top tier. the gold standard. what God wrote about in the bible.
