Korean BL Webcomics or BL manga? And why?
Bl mangas will always be there for me to read when I want to relax (lmao), and I still read bl mangas more than bl webcomics, but I feel like korean bl webcomics are a lot more...diverse? in their stories. For example, there have been popular and unique new BL stories to come out in the recent years, thanks to the rise of Kwebcomics. Such as, Killing Stalking, which surprised a lot of people, and also sparked controversy. Of course, there has been a lot of Korean BL webcomics that I did find mediocre (especially the ones under "comedy", but that's just my opinion). Whereas, for bl mangas, it's been a while since I've seen something new. Then again, there's been new popular animes with BL in it, such as Yuri on ice, or a more recent adaption, Banana Fish (didn't watch banana fish). But from my knowledge, the manga was serialized in the 80s-90s. There's also the fact that Kwbcomics are also usually colored, and the panel layouts are different. Anyways, I'm rambling and I'm not the best with words, but I hope I made sense for the most part.
TLDR; I think that Korean BL webcomics brings a refreshing change for the bl community. Which one do you prefer? And why? What are your thoughts? Do you read more bl/yaoi mangas or bl/yaoi webcomics? (=・ω・=)
i think both are good in their own way, bl manwha is usually colored, which gives the reader a bigger idea of the setting. bl manga is very original though, there's more variety for manga, and it's just as interesting. i prefer manga though, it has a lot less "jokes", depends on which manga/manwha you're reading though. reply
An aspect that I prefer about Korean manhwa/webcomics is that they are in full color, which helps me better see the action of what is going on or what needs to be focused on. Sometimes the black and white of manga, especially on a computer screen, plays tricks on my eyes--and I don't want to spend five minutes trying to figure out what I'm looking...... 1 reply
EDIT: SEE END OF COMMENT FOR MANGA/WEBCOMIC/WEBTOON EXPLANATION.
Both. It primarily comes down to the individual story and the execution of the story, which means there are amazing, good, mediocre, bad and not-to-my-taste versions of BL manga and BL Korean webtoons.
If was forced to choose to read only one type from now on, I'd choose manga beca...... 1 reply
Personally, I think both forms of BL have pluses and minuses.
For webcomics, something I appreciate is how easy it is to read the stories legally, and for a reasonable price. I also enjoy how they're usually colored. But a downside I've noticed is that a lot of times, plot is sacrificed for art. For example, whenever there is a smutty chapter, ...... reply
Korean/Chinese BL is much more realistic and has much less random rape and noncon used just for purposes of putting two characters together. I can think of more than one famous manga/anime where this is used often and its gross. *cough*Junjou Romatica *cough*
I can honestly state I enjoy looking at well drawn and anatomically correct artwork with ...... reply
when this kind of question pops up my answer would always be manhwas/manhuas/webcomics and my reason would always be the same: realistic characterization, diverse and unrushed plotlines (most of them atleast since they're always more than 20 chapters), and it's overall refreshing? i think there are of course others that didn't rlly hit me (window b...... reply
BL mangas are usually short, for easy and quick satisfaction for the readers, whereas with manhwa, you have to take the time to sit down and read, aka more plot. There are definitely quality webcomics out there which I absolutely adore but being the younger sibling of the two, with every good manhwa on display, there could be many times more good m...... reply
I’ve only recently started reading webcomics, and I think I am starting to prefer them. They’re generally, longer stories so we get to see more of the characters and more storyline. But it mostly comes down to the fact that I am kind of picky about character design, and it’s easier for me to find character designs that I really really love in...... reply
I pretty much agree with you on this. Most Korean Webtoons tend to dive more into the plot, compared to most BL manga.
I still appreciate BL manga of course, and I do enjoy it to some degree, but my reaction nowadays tends to be like this:
*New Korean Webtoon updated*
Me: Ooh, I wonder what this one's going to be about *immediately reads*.
*New ...... reply
Weirdly enough I was just thinking about this very thing. I think both have their pros. I've recently gotten into webtoons and I'm addicted to them. I love that fact that they are in color which just adds more than say if it were in black and white. It's kind of like watching an anime at times. Good question you have asked. 1 reply
