One of the new categories in this year's batch of year-end polls is the Best New Korean Manhwa Readers' Poll. And looking over the 10 nominees, I gotta say it's an interesting snapshot of the diversity of styles and stories coming out of Korea today.
There's romantic comedies like Pig Bride and 13th Boy alongside violent action-adventures like Raiders and Jack Frost. There are modern horror stories like The Reading Club as well as historically-themed supernatural fables like Time and Again. There are indie-style short stories like Mijeong and torrid boys love stories like U Don't Know Me. Really, there's practically something for everyone here this year thanks to Yen Press, NBM Publishing, First Second, Udon Entertainment and NETComics. But which one intrigued you most?
