REJOICE ALL WEBTOON READERS!!!

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

Naver has just released their LINE suite, and officially started translating their webtoons in English. Which is great cause finding regularly scanlated webtoons was rather hard...

You can downlad the application here (for now only android version, iOS coming soon) or read them on the website. Also you can comment and rate using facebook, twitter or line account - this is important cause the author gets their pay based on ratings ^^

i heard some of the translations are pretty half-assed tho... but it's better than nothing i guess

:OOOOOOOOO yay!

Oh. So they finally realized that webtoons have international readers as well. Good for them.
The choices are still few, but I'm hoping it'll grow.
Annarasumanara (one of the best webtoons!) was completely scanlated, so I think most webtoon readers have seen it.

hell yeah, it's about time

Well, gotdamn.
Maybe I should start. Not that I need anymore excuses not to turn off my laptop. Why!

Any recommendations??

So many omggg...lol I've been reading webtoons since forever. What do you like?

Cheese in the Trap is pretty great. It's ongoing and focuses on a college girl and her life/problems. It's part romance, part mystery, part slice of life, and focuses mainly on character development. A lot of characters have hidden depths, so it's pretty interesting to explore what they're really like.

Annarasumanara is hands down my favorite webtoon ever. It uses a lot of symbolism and artistic metaphors and deals with the story of a girl who struggles with poverty and the pressures of school/society. She meets a mysterious magician and they develop an interesting relationship.

Other webtoons which are REALLY awesome, but I don't have the motivation to type out descriptions for (check out mangaupdates)

Kisswood -adventure, cool old man protagonist
Tower of God - extremely popular currently, puzzles/mind games, awesome world building and smart characters
Noblesse- i didn't read the whole thing, but from what i know: monsters, rolling on the floor humor, and fighting
My Heart is Beating- same author as Annarasumanara, boy crossdresses to join girl's swimming team, monogamous romance + finding himself (aka not harem. i detest that stuff tbh lol)
The Gamer- super popular, basically about if real life were like a video game
The Friendly Winter- cute stuff
Can't See Can't Hear But Love- cute tragic stuff

if you want more, feel free to message me! lol, i love recommending webtoons/manga/manhua/etc (clearly i am in the wrong community)

You will be my go-to person!!! Thank yooou!
I love manga but never really delved into webtoons.

This is great--I was looking at Tower of God, maybe I'll try that one :D

And will definitely check out Annarasumanara! The art looks like such a treat.

[polesandskis.livejournal.com]

yaaaaay! both are great :D. enjoy~

Just wanted to say thanks for recommending these! I just read Annarasumanara and My Heart Is Beating and omg, they're so good. I definitely need to check out the others. Thanks again! ♡

[polesandskis.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked them! :D Feel free to message me if you want any more!

Daum webtoon needs to step up their game lol

[polesandskis.livejournal.com]

yeeeees, i heard they're translating Cheese in the Trap! which is basically the only webtoon i'm currently following lol

no half assed translations, please, though. the current scanlators do an awesome job and it'd be tragic if their phenomenal trans got replaced by some lq trans

Oh I read something about this on Noblesse scanlation...
