a manhwa called Goong. this shit changed my life. i found volumes 2 + 3 tucked away in a little second hand store when i was like 9? 10? and read thru it so fast, found the sequels, and went on a deep dive for YEARS. i was in college still reading it 🤣 first manga proper was Black Butler i think!
cover to korean graphic novel Goong: The Royal Palace by Park SoHee featuring a drawing of a black haired teenage girl in a royal hanbok leaning over and hugging a brown haired teenage boy in a yellow striped shirt sitting on a wooden deck outside. the background is red leaved trees. cover of Black Butler, a japanese manga by Yana Toboso. Featuring a black haired butler with red eyes and a subtle smile in a black tail coat and suit pouring tea from a silver teapot in his right hand perfectly into a tea cup on his left from a high distance, at least two feet. he is facing slightly towards the left with a plain white background framed with a simple black border and ornate decor in the top left and bottom right corners.
