15 Webtoon Recommendations for You to Read Right Now!

We all know that some of the popular Korean dramas were based from Webtoons, the digital comics of South Korea. As the trend of Webtoon is currently on the rise, a lot of people are into reading this type of comics too! What makes it more fun? You can actually read them for free in Naver Webtoon’s site and application!

Webtoon title suggestions

Personally, my encounter with webtoon is unexpected. I never thought that I will get hooked by these comics because I prefer to watch. But jokes on me, I’ve been consumed by these manhwas now! Its growing popularity is pretty evident as some of the comic-titles I grew to love and read are now adapted into television series.

So if you are looking for titles to add on your reading lists, here are my top picks:
