Manhwa

Manhwa is the term for Korean comics. In romance, it refers to colorful, vertically read series released in chapters — and to a unique narrative rhythm.

Unlike Japanese manga, Manhwa is usually produced in color and for the phone: a long column you scroll through. This format has changed the rhythm. Each chapter ends at a point that compels you to keep reading.

Content-wise, Manhwa has brought entire genres to romance: rebirth into a second life, the side character who suddenly becomes the main character, and the chaebol heir stories that run as Chaebol Romance in the West.

Everglow works with text instead of images, but shares the rhythm: short chapters, each ending at your decision, and a story continues over seasons.
