Manhwa
Manhwa is a term for South Korean comics and graphic novels, often characterized by their distinct art style, vibrant storytelling, and digital format. Unlike Japanese manga, which is traditionally read from right to left, manhwa follows the Western left-to-right reading format. Many modern manhwa are released as full-color webtoons, optimized for scrolling on digital platforms.
Manhwa spans a wide range of genres, including fantasy, romance, action, and horror. Popular themes include reincarnation, revenge, cultivation, and overpowered protagonists. Romance-focused manhwa, often labeled as shoujo or josei, feature strong emotional narratives, while action-packed series delve into martial arts, supernatural abilities, and game-like worlds.
With its unique blend of art, storytelling, and accessibility, manhwa has gained a global following, especially through webtoon platforms that make it easy for readers to explore new and diverse stories.
