Dear Korean,
I am a big fan of Korean manhwa [comics] such as Cynical Orange, Angel/Demon Diary, and Chocolat. What's your opinion on manhwa? Do you have any suggestions for series? I know that most bookstores don't carry manhwa so online is the only option to purchase, but do you know of any bookstores that do actually carry manhwa?
The Reader
Dear Reader,
The Korean reads comics occasionally, but he stays strictly with the Japanese kind -- currently he is reading (very slowly) One Piece, Berserk and Battle Royale. He probably has not read Korean comics in 15 years. (And he has never heard of any titles that you listed.) But he sees a great many of them being carried in any old Barnes & Noble or Borders.
Readers, do you like Korean comics? Any thoughts?
Got a question or a comment for the Korean? Email away at askakorean@gmail.com.
