MH Manhwa Hangout

Yeah, the first few you mentioned were comprised in my top of the manhwa sub board category, i.e noblesse, tower of god etc...

I haven't heard of Legend of Main, and XO Sisters, I will have to look into them.

That's kinda sad to hear that about Paladin. I read the first 5 or so pages of the first chapter. While the artwork is pretty good actually, if you say the story is sort of dull and just ends then it really doesn't seem like there is any pay off to even viewing the artwork.

I assume we lost Legend of Tyr's thread to website issued we had few weeks back. Anyway, the series has ended and the last volumes / chapters have been scanlated - out on egscans.com.

Yeah I guess it is gone. I hadn't noticed because it was cancelled early and word of the ending had not been...positive.

So I stopped reading.

Believe it... or not.

"I thought I just had a convenient ability...until that happened..."

Noblesse's authors, Son Je-Ho and Lee Gwang-Su's new smarttoon: Ability!

Find more information at MangaUpdates or directly at EG Scans.

Look at the artwork! Honestly, I love it. Just like how Noblesse became the first webtoon manhwa I checked, and the artwork was... somehow inviting. If only they could keep up with it, since we've seen what happened with Noblesse. Plot-wise nothing much up yet. Will check it out for few future chapters. :3

[Jammin]

That looks really good!

Though one has to wonder if this is part of the reason Noblesse has had such short chapters and inconsistent artwork recently.

[thornofcarrion]

Thanks phio. It could be a reason Jammin. I just hope, its the most Noblesse will be effected.

You guys noticed the term "smarttoon"? I read it was meant for mobile users. I find it very strange that even there are comics specifically used for mobile phones. On top of it I didn't see any difference than usual webtoons. XDD

I bet it is indeed one of the reasons why Noblesse's quality changed. I just hope it won't keep decreasing. To "sacrifice" the older series for a newer one is just sad. And I also feel like Noblesse is reaching the end as well.

[Jammin]

Went ahead and made a thread for Ability.

There you go. Webtoon alone was enough a new, interesting discovery for me when I first touched manhwa. Now with smarttoon. Aren't Korean amazing?

[scav]

well i find the name kinda stupid ill still call it webtoon. At first i thought the idea of reading on your phone is stupid then i remembered that i read the whole death note series on my PSP few years ago

[thornofcarrion]

We use cell phones for browsing, emails, facebook, chatting. etc. I also have used my phone to read manga when I was travelling or I don't have access to my laptop / pc. Other times I have used it when I was too lazy . Not a satisfying experience though. In my opinion, its a very smart move. We are depending more on cell phones then before. We use them for camera, mp3, gaming console, etc. Koreans are just smart in anticipating the future demands.

I question a little bit how much of a chance a story really has to carry full impact on a smart phone. A tablet or something I could see but when I sit down to read something I want prop my feet up brew a cup of tea and immerse myself the story as much as I can.

For me it's kinda the same thing with gaming. Like Scav I have a PSP, and am quite fond of it, but I aways ended up playing it at home; because that's a better experience.

[thornofcarrion]

Indeed. I don't think smarttoon can replace for those experiences. Nevertheless, its a good addition when you are travelling or you can't wait to read it till you get hands on something bigger.
