Crunchyroll announced on Tuesday that it has paired up with digital publisher WEBTOON to bring new, original animated content to the streaming service. The new animated projects will be based on WEBTOON's own property catalog.

WEBTOON's catalog includes many manga-inspired series. The platform's popular web comics include Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe, True Beauty by Yaongyi (voted #4 in this year's Tsugi ni Kuru manga awards web category), unOrdinary by uru-chan, I Love Yoo by Quimchee, and SubZero by Junepurr. The service's comic selection ranges from romance, drama, comedy, fantasy, and thrillers.

Both WEBTOON and Crunchyroll will handle the distribution, licensing, and retail of each new series.

It's better than chasing Chinese money and ending up like Activision-Blizzard and a lot of people tend to like webtoons. I just wish they cancelled High Guardian Spice though as very few want that.

Oh nice! There are quite a few Webtoons I like

For some reason most of those series seem very female oriented though... I wonder why guys don't seem to use the app as much.

Webtoon is terrible though. They sometimes pick stuff up then never finish translating and distributing content

It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long

I hope Girl and Science, Release that Witch,My Wife is a Demon Queen, Solo Levelling and God Tower get anime adaptations.


These are the most popular comic in manga rock. Many popular one include webtoon. It just a matter of time before webtoon reach the level of popularity of manga and perhaps surpassing it.

"among monsters and humans, there are only two types.
Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice
“Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume
“Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus
