Top 4 in Top 10 Best Manhwa 2023.
Take two grueling sci-fi stories and combine them into a webtoon about survival and self-awareness, and you'll have one of the best horror comics ever created.
Hyun Cha suffered from depression and wanted to commit suicide, spent her traumatic high school years and then lost her family in an accident. If this isn't sad enough, Hyun's world will experience a "monsterized" apocalypse.
People suddenly turn into monsters that reflect their deepest desires. Unfortunately, Hyun is not an exception, and he begins to have symptoms of monstrosity.
Hyun's unpleasant experiences gave him a strong will, and he was able to repel the mysterious illness. However, the monster inside persisted; this leads to Hyun becoming a half monster.
Sweet Home somehow manages to use such dark themes to highlight mental health issues, a topic many Koreans consider taboo.
And this is where manhwa succeeds as an internet phenomenon: new and veteran authors highlight these topics without fear of stereotypes and censorship.
