Going to give a generic answer...it really depends.. At this point I haven't read as much manhwas as I have mangas..but one thing that stuck out to me was in the romance genre manhwas tend to be more mature and realistic than manga so for that genre at least, i prefer manhwas. Generally speaking i also prefer manga art.. The rest depends on the individual title. |
If you don't like Kaneki there's a 90 percent chance you didn't read the manga. Read it now. Just do it. Don't question it mongrel. Rating System l Anime List l Manga List My manga list is a more accurate representation of my preferences Cease your thievery of my wine. |

Not agreeing with someone's else's opinion doesn't make me automatically wrong. what? i never implied anything of the kind. what on earth are you talking about? Besides, I don't think you understood me when I mentioned 'unused space'. The 'details' in webtoons are just fine, some have less, some have more details in color, characters etc. What I don't like is the lack of used space in them between panels. All those examples you linked pretty much have that. I don't like it. It's simple as that. you should have been more specific then. and like i said, the author wasn't only talking about the art. and, imo, it's actually horribly silly to talk about unused space of white or black since manga is just as perpetually white, - it's just in the background and not above the frames. (random manga, not being specific) and so forth. and just to say i don't care about the white (or black) in either. it's just to say they have a pretty much fair amount in both mediums. If you want to talk about bias, then we are both biased - you don't think the webtoons look empty compared to manga, to me they do. i said biased and ignorant. it's different to have full knowledge of something but it's REALLY different if you are obviously ignorant and biased. We could argue about this until the end of days really, it's not going to change my view on it nor my opinion that art-wise, manga does look more appealing and interesting to me. am i going to have to repeat again on how i didn't really care about that? i think so. There is no ignorance in this matter; it's not like I refused to look at them or read them to form my own opinion and decide which artistic style I prefer more. even if not for you, there are still of plenty of other ignorant answers, and not even on this thread. i wasn't really referring to you on bias and ignorance, i was just speaking of the people i have met/read that are. you have said you've read a fair amount of webtoon so you are automatically taken out of the picture. And again - I never said anything against the 'plot and story' of webtoons; I don't know how much I can stress this already. i was just noting that the point of the thread wasn't for art only. that's why i said you were only noting the art and not anything else. But the question was what I found more appealing, hence, one side would either have to prevail or there would be a 50:50 chance of me liking both. When it comes to me personally, the art style of manga prevailed over the art style of webtoons. So, do I think webtoons and manga can both be good story and plot wise? Yes. Do I find webtoons to be overall more appealing to me than manga? No. and again, you are allowed to your own opinion. there is no hard feelings or cream for butthurt allowed. in fact you have probably given the most explained reason why you don't prefer webtoon. others barely have a say since they themselves have admitted to not even reading a lot in the first place. allflying said: Your 12 million dollars money a bunch of people in a room equals 12 million dollars? going to need more than that to convince me. and even if that were true, that's still absolutely nothing compared to the webtoon industry. like it doesn't even come to a third. literally.

Generally speaking i also prefer manga art.. The rest depends on the individual title. first, my boy gilgamesh. give me a manly hug, right now. mad reps to you. and second, agreed. i find that about webtoon as well. first, the romance aren't constantly in teenville as manga does (and don't even go for that sad argument that most manga readers are teens, so are webtoon readers). for example something about us/out relationship is is already off the bat mature. it's about new college students and there's even drinking in the first 5 chapters. we already see a girl in a horrible relationship when she is kinda-raped by her BF and then there's a man-slut that preys on first years. and that's just a few right there. i'm not even sure i'll come across something like that in even on manga. i must say their slice of lives are a bit better handled than manga, which can be something like not only unrealistic but an unbelievable fantasy at its worst. |

I personally can enjoy both though I've definitely found a lot more manga series that I enjoyed from my 13 years of reading manga/manhwa. But recently I found a few webtoon series I actually really liked on Spottoon though and have been following them. Haven`t really found any new manga series that I really enjoy though. Most of the series that I do find enjoyable were released years ago. |

I think you are mistakenly believe 1 won = 1 dollar. 1 won = 0.0089 dollars Your source just said 100billion KRW(90 million dollars) in 2012 and expected to have 210billionKRW(190 million dollars) in 2014,420 billion KRW(380 million dollars) in 2015 I cited real numbers of past and 200 million dollars in 2014,360 million dollars in 2015 which are very similar to what you cited. We cannot possibly know the numbers of 2016 yet. Hundreds of billions of dollars mean average korean people spending on webtoon more than what they earn a year. |

Your source Just proved I'm right about korean market. Your source just said 90 million dollars in 2012,190 million dollars in 2014,380 million dollars in 2015 I said korean web comic market were 200 million dollars in 2014 and 360 million dollars in 2015 800 bn KRW(720 million dollars) is forecast in 2016. If you want source of Japanese web comic market size was 1277 million dollars in 2015,then here. http://www.impress.co.jp/newsrelease/2016/07/20160727-01.html Again I said korean market were 200 million dollars and 360 million dollars,your source said 190 and 380 each, and those slight differences are because of exchange rates are different based on when the articles are written.

Ignoring the huge argument spanning 3 pages. 1.I like both Manhwa and Manga equally but I've read more Manga than Manhwa 2. I want to like webtoons but it lacks the details of black and white manga and the colors arent the inky-type like with those you would see on a traditional colored comic book page. I know there are several styles of comics and each one is unique in their own way but I prefer b&w and inked style of comic books. (I know most manga and comics are made digitally, inking has made its way into digital comics as well) |

I'd say,,,yes because, manhua I like the color schemes the art comes to life and some of the plots are just so damn good, I listed all my fav in my bio, That being said manga is equally good just lacking color. Every story is diff so the plot development will be diff in each one, but because of the color it makes it seem like the authors give more of a shit to their work |

Do you find manhwa more appealing than manga? Considering how much bad experience I had with manhwa, no, clearly not. In the contrary, when I found a manhwa, I'm dubious at best. Well… I haven't read much manhwa; a dozen of gender bender and one yuri. The yuri one was really pretty bad. As for the gender bender ones, only 2 are good, the rest is trash. Anyhow, even if my sample of manhwa is small, it is homogeneous since they're all from the same genre. And gender bender is a niche genre to begins with, so that sample isn't that "small" in fact. Which leads me to the next point: TomDay said: you are more on point here, but as for exploring themes and such, manga has reached a writers block. the same content keeps getting pumped out, and it's very tiring. i have read recent manhwa/webtoons that are nothing like the average, recycled settings of manga. Gender bender wise. Manga are diversified, original, and there is stuffs for all kind of taste. Manhwa are poor, uninspired, a recycled thematic with a big lack of diversity. I dunno why, but out of the dozen of gender bender manhwa that I read, one, one freaking story isn't about school gangs, delinquents or others mafia. Meaning that they're all violent. Yeah, a sub-genre of romance is violent. As for the art… For the actual books, manga and manhwa are similar, the style is different, but otherwise it's the same principle. Though I have yet to find a manhwa with a really good art. But I know that good artists are rare, and that my sample is really poor. So I guess there is gorgeous manhwa out there. For the webtoon though… Those ones are bad. More exactly, they are hyper-cinematic, which have zero interest for romance, SOL and others stuffs that I tend to read. In addition of being hyper-cinematic, the art is pretty poor, unoriginal and generic. Romance/SOL/et cætera are emotionally-driven stories, which focus on atmosphere. And for building a good atmosphere, you need a detailed and static art. Trying to do a romance in a webtoon format is a pure waste. At best, you can do rom-com, one of my fav' rom-com is a webtoon actually (manhua), but good luck for an emotionally-charged romance in the webtoon format. |

Yeah, a sub-genre of romance is violent. ......why on earth did you bring up - of ALL genres - gender benders? what is the matter with you?????? i literally cannot find anything more to say on that. as for manga being more original, i had to laugh on that. as a big fan of shounen, i can't say much for other genres on manga or webtoon, but they are worlds apart. just to name a few, there's not only one but two MCs that start off as thoroughly broken characters (witch hunt). here we see a newly transferred boy in an elementary school who meets new kids and befriends them. but when we see him go to recess with his new friends, he finds an excuse to go back inside the school. there we learn right then that bamo, he's stolen their money and is stuffing it in his pockets in the school hall. he's a kleptomaniac. then there's the other MC, who we learn is running away from being killed (or "hunted") but refuses to admit her own faults of this happening in the first place. for another story, there's a story about a guy who breaks away from a terrorist group only for himself to be drawn back to it without his knowing (wonted). in the first season alone he's not your average broken shounen character, who had some traumatic pas with his daddy. he's had a NORMAL LIFE and has to experience his own problems later on in life. oh and then there's one set in superhero land. except it's not about being a superhero, but being a sidekick to one instead (sidekicks). (not even going to get into manhua, which is even MORE diverse than webtoon.) from 3 shounen in manga i can tell you know the MCs are almost all the same. shinra from enen no shouboutai has this dream he can protect anyone and everyone from hard work, is disrespectful to his elders and brashly speaks his mind. same can said for naruto and izuku from academia (although it was pretty unique for shinra to smile only when he's nervous). but then again you could be referring to actual manhwa and not webtoon. in that case screw everything i said. For the actual books, manga and manhwa are similar, the style is different, but otherwise it's the same principle. Though I have yet to find a manhwa with a really good art. But I know that good artists are rare, and that my sample is really poor. So I guess there is gorgeous manhwa out there. thoroughly confused on whether you mean manhwa or webtoon. For the webtoon though… oh nvm. More exactly, they are hyper-cinematic, which have zero interest for romance, SOL and others stuffs that I tend to read. the heck is SOL. oh wait slice of life? never seen it like that. In addition of being hyper-cinematic, the art is pretty poor, unoriginal and generic. http://m.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/dice/ep-0/viewer?title_no=64&episode_no=1 uhuh... Romance/SOL/et cætera are emotionally-driven stories, which focus on atmosphere. And for building a good atmosphere, you need a detailed and static art. ----- yep sure. disgustingly static. LOL. i can't BELIEVE you have the ultimate nerve to talk about STATIC ART IN THE ROMANCE GENRE with webtoon as if it doesn't even happen once with manga. even IF webtoon romance is "static", the same can be said even more so for manga, which is not only notorious for its average looking-the-same shoujo art, but its utterly pathetic MC girls and even more pathetic plot points. some of the most popular japanese romances have - and i am NOT exaggerating in any way at all - made me pull my hair, give me stomach pains, make my head hurt, have the irrepressible desire for murder, and utterly exhaust my desire to intrest myself in any more manga or anime. these stories are the most abominable ones around. they deserve more than to be burned. they need to be tortured to their authors, who shamelessly write such crap to the world. see, here i go, that intense hatred building up again. i'd better stop now. Trying to do a romance in a webtoon format is a pure waste. as if how you read ruins an entire story. on the other hand reading backwards, mwah. masterpiece. At best, you can do rom-com, one of my fav' rom-com is a webtoon actually (manhua), but good luck for an emotionally-charged romance in the webtoon format. from all the webtoon romances i read, they ARE rom-com, i can't speak for the serious ones. well at least you didn't use that "they have white spaces ew" reason manga fans love to come up with. |

TomDay said: ......why on earth did you bring up - of ALL genres - gender benders? what is the matter with you?????? Why? Because like I said, all manhwa that I read save one are gender bender. And I speak about what I know, so I'm speaking about GB manhwa. You say that action manhwa are more original than action manga? Fine. I'm just saying that GB manhwa aren't as original than GB manga. We aren't even contradicting each other. I bring this because if action manhwa are "more original", it doesn't mean that manhwa in general are more original than manga in general. You have to check genre by genre. TomDay said: In addition of being hyper-cinematic, the art is pretty poor, unoriginal and generic. http://m.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/dice/ep-0/viewer?title_no=64&episode_no=1 uhuh... Thank, that's exactly what I meant. It looks like all other webtoon I read from the art standpoint. Thus pretty unoriginal, since all webtoon I saw looks the same. They may have color, they may are pretty well drawn, but they have the same art-style. It's not original at all, and it lacks any kind of personality. I enjoy diversity. TomDay said: Romance/SOL/et cætera are emotionally-driven stories, which focus on atmosphere. And for building a good atmosphere, you need a detailed and static art. LOL. i can't BELIEVE you have the ultimate nerve to talk about STATIC ART IN THE ROMANCE GENRE with webtoon as if it doesn't even happen once with manga. even IF webtoon romance is "static", the same can be said even more so for manga, which is not only notorious for its average looking-the-same shoujo art, but its utterly pathetic MC girls and even more pathetic plot points. Read again what I wrote. I said that webtoon, by construction have a very cinematic format. A very cinematic format is pretty good for some genres, like action or like sport, for example. Since you seem to enjoy a lot action genre, I understand that you like webtoon so much. But others genres, like… I dunno, romance for example, benefit from a more static format. And since I enjoy romance, webtoon aren't fit for that genre, since like I said, webtoon are by construction very cinematic, not static. There isn't one way to create a comic. Depending of what you want, you can change the format, being more static or more cinematic, being fluid or jerky, being structured or destructed, et cætera. Webtoon being cinematic, some genres benefit a lot from it, while others might be deserved by it. And that why I said that: Trying to do a romance in a webtoon format is a pure waste. Because romance benefits from a more static format. Because static-ness helps to build an atmosphere, to glorify emotions. It may be hard to distinguish all those things from a comics. So if you don't see what I say, take a look at that AMV of one of the best romance anime I've seen so far. Why an anime's AMV? Because anime are by construction very cinematic, so when it tries to be static, it's blindingly obvious, while comics are by construction very static, so seeing static-ness in it is harder: See how sometime the movements are very slow and jerky, how sometime the characters are moving in the scene while being immobile, how oftentime the scene freeze into an "artwork"? That's how you make an anime more static. Making a romance anime like that tend to works pretty well, while if you try to use the same methods for an action anime, it will probably be pretty bad. In the contrary, action anime are usually more blurred, with a lot of quick change of camera shots. It's how you reinforce movements. You can use the same kind of methods in comics. Oh, BTW: You said that romance manga have "pathetic plot points". Maybe, but in romance plot isn't a very important element. Here again, each genre have different criteria. All my post here and my previous one are trying to say one thing: You can't generalize stuffs and and you can't use the same criteria for different things.Each format has its pros and cons, each genre have different needs. I'm not saying that manhwa are globally inferior to manga. I'm just saying that the particular GB manhwa are inferior to GB manga. I'm not saying that webtoons are bad in general, I'm saying that they tend to deserve the (serious) romance genre. And I'm not speaking about action manhwa/webtton since I haven't read any. I trust you on that if you say that they are better. |

I'm just saying that the particular GB manhwa are inferior to GB manga. there you go again with the manhwa..... and no, you had quite a bit to say besides of the plot of gender benders (who on earth even reads that stuff?). you also went into how the romance wasn't as good as manga, which i feel the need to say that this isn't the problem. it's fine for that. i don't care about that. but you're acting like "omg what a niche genre" as if manga is so universally different from that. |

So what if I'm not speaking about the norm? I'm answering that topic from my own perspective (the stuffs I read), you do the same, so please let me speak from my own. Maybe you don't care about GB, but to me it is a very important genre. As you can guess since pretty much every manwha I read so far are GB. Okay. When I say "manhwa", I'm speaking about Korean comics in general, here I don't care about the format (book or webtoon). When I say "book", I'm speaking about manhwa in book-format. When I say "webtoon", I'm speaking about manhwa in webtoon format. So when I say that GB manhwa are less original and diversified than GB manga, I'm saying this for both book and webtoon. Because here I'm speaking about the content of the comics, which is influenced by the culture, not the format. Thank you. Yeah, the first one is different, with a different character design, with a different shading and coloring method. The two last are the same than the rest though. Though, the 3 of them are still the same as the rest on the layout, the "format". TomDay said: They may have color, they may are pretty well drawn, but they have the same art-style.

That's how you make an anime more static. ....... i can't believe you brought up an anime video when this thread is clearly for manga. I'm using the anime as an analogy, because like I said, it is more easy to show how to make an anime more static than to show how to make a comics more static. But, I'll show you two different manga (book), from two of my fav' mangaka. Then maybe you'll understand what I'm speaking about the art-style, what kind of diversity I enjoy, and how different is a static comics from a cinematic comics. The first manga is Lady Snowblood (LS), an action manga. The second is Rose of Versailles (RoV), an historical tragedy focused on character development (thus an highly emotional manga). On the art-style: LS is refined and simple, without superfluous content, it is blatant on the character design which is inspired from the ukiyo-e (a form of Japanese painting). There is a strong black and white contrast with a solid black coloring. Finally, the art-style try to be realistic. RoV have a very fluid drawing, with a lot of curves. The art-style is globally more romantic, with exaggerated eyes and hair, which are also far more detailed. On the layout/format: LS is very structured, each frame is clear, and the frames try to follow the movements. The effects are also very simple and clear, very straight. RoV is totally destructed, with next to no spatial consistencies, especially with the guillotine that superimpose the character in the first page. The frames are smashed: on the second page there is 4 frames that are blended into each other, they totally faded, while on the third page, there is two frames on the exact same composition. You can also see that there is no movement at all in those 3 pages. I have yet to see something like that in a webtoon (be it a manhwa, a manhua or a manga). Obviously, there is a lot of manga (book) that looks like each other, but there is also very different ones. That's why I said that I enjoy "diversity", that's why I say that webtoon are "poor" and "unoriginal". If one day I'll see two very distinct webtoon on the art, I'll change my mind. But from what I saw so far, they're all very similar and don't reach the kind of diversity that you can found in books. |

i'm just gonna skip everything and go to the most important parts. lady_freyja said: On the art-style: LS is refined and simple, without superfluous content, it is blatant on the character design which is inspired from the ukiyo-e (a form of Japanese painting).

You can also see that there is no movement at all in those 3 pages. sorry not sorry, but you appear to be massively biased. the very thing you are asking webtoon to be is the very thing that marks their existence. no seriously. it does. it's a fact. 5:56 to 6:04 one of the major things about webtoon is that it DOES act like cinematography. and it does. in the same link i gave you we see a person from a bird's eye view , the second featuring a bottom shot at an angle, the the third featuring the kid's back, the forth from a side view, another hones in on the kid's head, the next showing the ground, he is bleeding, then the camera is on his face and his bleeding nose...this is nowhere near being done and there are already more than one views to watching a kid. oh and that's not even to mention that it also featured music (which manga NEVER does). I have yet to see something like that in a webtoon (be it a manhwa, a manhua or a manga). Obviously, there is a lot of manga (book) that looks like each other, but there is also very different ones. nope, not believing that. you're asking for webtoon to have some kind of dimensional difference with their art but you give manga a slack by saying "that's different". just no. noblesse and aisopos look absolutely nothing alike. there is nothing you can point at on any part of those chapters and say "yep, looks just like," because it's impossible. if you are so focused on saying obviously different things are the same, then the same must be said for manga. not only that, your argument is contradictory. you insist that webtoon is copying (or at the very least is trying to) manga but then you say they all look the same. then when i say the same can be said for manga, you back off of it. does it act like manga or doesn't it? If one day I'll see two very distinct webtoon on the art, I'll change my mind. But from what I saw so far, they're all very similar and don't reach the kind of diversity that you can found in books. get your head out of the manga clouds. the only fault i see here is that you're pissed that webtoon simply does not act as manga does. and it never will be. it's fine that you prefer manga, again, that's not the problem. what is the problem is that you're grasping at water on how webtoon isn't as good, and making manga seem like some kind of holy grail that hardly fails. maybe you haven't seen enough webtoon to tell the difference, that's fine. but when i show them to you, you still deny everything and still hold true to that bias you have. i don't need to find more webtoon, those two webtoon below look nothing alike. they have a different setting, different colors, even different outline thickness. that is, unless, that is, you are communicating wrong and are saying that the reading style is the same, which is correct. if not, i really don't know what you are talking about. i really don't. ----- |

So: TomDay said: sorry not sorry, but you appear to be massively biased. the very thing you are asking webtoon to be is the very thing that marks their existence. no seriously. it does. it's a fact. one of the major things about webtoon is that it DOES act like cinematography. No. I'm not asking them to act like cinematography, I'm asking them to act in various ways, for being adapted to the various types of stories. Oh, BTW: TomDay said: you insist that webtoon is copying (or at the very least is trying to) manga Stop putting into my mouth things I haven't said. Since I never say that webtoon are copying books. Maybe the next conversation will be more easy if you don't do that. Because your last post is full of it. Oh, BTW 2: I have a webtoon in my fav' list. So no, I have nothing against them (I read any kind of comics). I just would enjoy more diversity in it, that's all. |

honestly i like them both. for me it feels like two sides of the same coin each are a type of comics with different story telling methods. |
