Synopsis

In a world ravaged by war, a young boy walks down a lonely road in the aftermath of his mother's death. Along his journey, he witnesses military tanks, dead bodies, and his beloved city in ruins. With eyes clouded by anguish, he pushes himself to keep moving forward.

One morning, he meets a girl in an abandoned bus where he spent the night. Moments after their encounter, the area turns into a battlefield, and the pair escapes into a long abandoned lane. The two strangers decide to walk together to the end of the road, thus beginning a companionship that will ignite new hope inside their shriveled hearts.

I don’t often throw around the word “Masterpiece”, but I think it truly applies to this story.

In just 21 chapters, the author manages to build a believable post-apocalyptic world and attach you to the characters who are traveling through it. The art fits the story extremely well, with its dark, gritty style adding to the already heavy atmosphere of the story.

The Horizon does not hold back in addressing death, fears, and the darkest parts of the human existence, and is, at least through out the majority of the story, extremely nihilistic (or seemingly so).

With a great emphasis on philosophy and addressing the questions ...

The Horizon is a Korean work launched in 2016 by Jeong, Ji-Hoon, tells the dramatic story of two children who in the midst of a war, pandemic, world disaster, try to survive and move on.

History 8/10- A simple, yet immersive, heavy and tragic story, brings to the reader several philosophies about humanity, succession etc ... (although sometimes the work does this in an expository way) How a good drama is full of scenes beyond emotions, but they could be better if the work was longer, in such a short time it’s difficult to get so attached to the characters, which would ...

Mixed Feelings

I was super excited for this and was looking forward to read it. Because it was really high rated and secondly it was very short. I was wondering why is it so high rated and what is the meaning of the plot. And I am still wondering that (-_-). I really expected a lot from this manhwa but it DISAPPOINTED ME. I know many people will be angry but it's not like I care that much.

STORY: 6/10
The main plot of this manhwa i.e the tragic backstory and life of a boy who is suffering to survive in a world war or pandemic who meets a ... girl and they both try their best to stay together, is really good. Like for this I give a solid 8.5 out of 10. BUT. That's not the case with the actual storyline that is shown in here.
The main problem I have with it is that SO MANY important things are left unexplained! That's what makes this story just FINE. I cannot tell some of them because it will spoil others. But those SHOULD be explained. Like what started the war? Why was there no one anywhere? etc. Then there is almost NO text. I know it is unique, that's the style, my brain is smol to understand it and that crap but bruh if you take all the text in the whole series then even my class 3rd essays would have more text(lol). And that's the reason most of the things left unexplained. And the unexplained things make it look like the whole world is just meaningless and also is survival. And you can also just consider the fact that I like and prefer Anime over ebooks. But the ending sure was satisfying. I mean I am happy that it didn't end with everyone dying or something. That's the reason it is 6/10. Moving on,

ART: 9/10
I'll be honest here. The art was really good. It perfectly suited the theme. Like the use of only black and white even if it's a manhwa, those crazy lines and strokes that show the depression and also I loved it when the characters were enjoying their life, it turned into coloured from black-and-white. And yeah I really feel bad that I didn't enjoy a manhwa with such awesome art. That's why it's a 9/10.

CHARACTERS: 6/10
I neither found the characters that great nor that bad. They were just decent. A 6.5 out of 10. I can't talk much about the characters here. Because i can spoil others if I do. And I guess there can't be much info about characters in just twenty-one chapters :).

ENJOYMENT: 3/10
As I said earlier while I was talking about the art, that I am sad that I didn't enjoy a manhwa with such great art. Somehow it just didn't interest me. Yeah, it was boring. It felt kinda like a compulsion while I was reading it. And I think that stories that are sad mostly are better in the form of Anime and not Manga. Not only sad but literally stories of any genre are mostly better if they are adapted into an Anime (and I sure accept the fact that there are some Manga that are a lot better than their adaptations). Although personally I say that The Horizon will be better as an Anime.

OVERALL: 6/10
Overall it was just fine. I don't feel like giving it more than six. The one thing which hurts me the most is that most things are left unexplained, like even the most necessary ones. If they were not then I would have given it something like a 7 or even 8. (PLEASE DON'T KILL ME FOR NOT LIKING IT LOL)
