Someone educate me on the era of black and white Korean manhwa that look like mangas. (i.e. the time these were/are popular.) Obviously I realized that you have this from left to right but I still didn’t register that it could be a manhwa until they mentioned Seoul…the same thing basically happened with https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/love_at_first_sight_season_1/ Manhwa being black and white I know common enough but I didn’t know there are so many 2010s(?) manhwa that look like mangas
Hi, so I don't know much, only what I experienced myself, but very simply:
Hand-drawn art has (obviously) preceded digital art. Black and white manhwa was a normal thing because it was intended to be printed on paper. So not only the works of early 2010s but also in 2000s and 90s, this was very normal. Unfortunately, quite a lot of works was never fully scanned thus translated. Even on this page you can find so many great pieces that are unfinished forever.
Now in the late 2000s there slowly started a shift because printed copies didn't sell well. I wouldn't know the actual reason why that is but I suppose the circulation just wasn't as accessible and smooth as in Japan? Plus with BLs specifically, there is the regime's opposition. Anyway, so in 2010s this practice slowly transitioned into online platforms until the printed copies nearly disappeared.
The online space obviously invited colour and less "space saving" - long strip format (no longer the need to worry about printing price). These days it is common that popular serieses get also print copies.
Luckily, even now, some artists choose to draw in black and white, or in a similar style to the old works but it's less common. The digital art is just naturally much more clean and bright and coloured to fit the trends of current market.
Lmao, I accidentally mixed in the regime's opposition. That's a topic with Chinese manhua - inability to publish openly, and the recent discontinuation of many bl manhuas because the authors weren't making any money.
oohhhh yeah im kinda dumb that makes sense, thank you

i just had the most brilliant dream about a girl reincarnated as a guy and she falls in love with another girl who’s been stuck in time. when the “guy” flirts with her she is surprised because “he’s” the only one who breaks the system/doesn’t act as expected.
anyone know a manhwa/novel where a woman is reincarnated as a man? bonus if the romantic partner is another woman
omg i just remembered the plot of this manhwa and it was so peak
the main character is an adult woman with huge tits (this is important i swear). she is a teacher and became a teacher to help students, and the plot follows her killing some bullies to save this particular girl. there was a backstory with a teacher helping her and she i guess wanting to return to favor. i believe the cover is (or was) the teacher smiling, looking down with blood on her shirt and a hand out. and her huge tits were prominent. the last chapter i remember involved her going to a students house and killing them, or at least they got tied up im not sure how far she was yet but she was planning on it. i think the victim pissed herself or something....and there was a stuffed pink doll in her room
pLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LMK
omg i found it and i learned something new, the version i read was a manhwa adaptation
