Story: 10/10
Salty Studio is a collection of many stories from the lives of the many characters. The main characters, Togeun and Sonagi, are both artists who work together in the same studio. There are not many supporting characters, but all of the supporting characters get their own backstory and time to shine. There are so many good story arcs in Salty Studio, with almost all of them being atleast a bit bittersweet. Willow, a highschool girl with an unrequited love, River, a highschool boy who doesn't know what to do with his future, Cookie, a man who just can't find a job no matter how hard he looks, and of course, Togeun and Sonagi. (I don't want to talk about their stories too much because... really big spoilers) The story of Salty Studio always builds up the characters, and not going to lie, brought tears to my eyes more than a few times.
Art: 9/10
It's really simple. The art doesn't really have any detail to it, but it grew on me. It's cute and adorable, and it made the funny moments funnier, and made the heartfelt moments all the more touching. Also, there is a bonus at the end of each chapter that is always lovely.
Character: 10/10
If I could, I would rate this category even higher. I think that it's by far one of the most realistic webtoons/mangas out there. Not because everything is angsty, or it shows the dark and gritty side of life, but because sometimes, things don't go the way you want it to and you just have to deal with it. Soon enough, you'll forget about whatever that thing was, and have other problems to deal with. All of the characters felt very real. Nothing felt forced in this webtoon, and the interactions between all of the characters felt so genuine. It is because the author was able to work in each character's stories and struggles that made the characters so strong in this webtoon, and to this day, I can't find anything that rivals it.
Enjoyment: 10/10
What can I say? When I read this webtoon more than three years ago, I knew it was good, but as I recently revisited it, I realized how much of a gem it really was. I hope to see more from the author soon!
Overall: 10/10
