While anime is usually thought of as adaptations of Japanese manga, anime actually draws on a lot of inspirations, including a few adaptations of Korean manhwa, which are Korean comics, often influenced by Japanese manga. After all, in recent years, Korean comics have reached a boom in popularity thanks to webtoons, which are digitally released comics, often meant to be read on readers’ phones. It also helps that, with many K-dramas based on manhwa and webtoons, they’ve proven to contain stories that work outside of just the printed, or digital, page.
