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

Can none of you read they met before she knew he was a student. Sure, it’s a little weird but she’s not even the one pursuing the relationship…this not predatory
For real tho, u got that on point. I don't get the hate on her when she didn't know he was a minor. Considering they met at a bar it was logical to assume that he was at least 18. Idk about other places but like no one below 18 are allowed in bars in my area. It doesn't help that he looks like his in his mid 20s. People act like this is a 10 year age gap when it's just 3. She isn't even accepting him or his advances cuz even she knows it would be weird. Is this pedophilia? No, not really cuz she didn't know. Is it weird? Yes. I assume that they'll date once both of them graduate or smt, otherwise it's just the guy coming on to the girl Everyone's just saying pedophile willy nilly Wait until she actually does something like damn
Yup yup they all just wanna be mad at something
I’m not gonna pretend I know or ever knew anything about the plot of this manhwa
Want me to explain because I can ?
Yess
Basically the main characters original world got turned back in time (killing the whole planet besides our mc ) by the empress using a the second version of the Arium which our Mc has now the mc had to go to the current world she’s at now in order to put a stop to the empress(which she did) and fully learn the powers of the arium ( her immortal abilities and past manifesting abilities ) which she’s learning how to do now there’s a lot more stuff I just summed it up to her main mission of the story but if u want and in depth explanation I can try to do that
So is he literally her brother?? Like his mom in that flashback was that not her mother? And his dead older sister is quite literally the MC?? Am I stupid why isn’t anyone else talking about this
Edit: no i interpreted it wrong
Stayed up till 5:09 AM to finish reading this manhwa in ONE SITTING
