Walk on Water

Surprisingly deep. I love, love, love, love the art style. It's not in-your-face flashy, but it's... something you come to appreciate. It feels classic, which makes sense since this Manhwa was written in 2018. As for the characters they feel real, flawed, putting on masks, trying to find their place or make a life for themselves. The setting is certainly unique and the characters actions & reactions to the setting they're placed in is realistic. Let's be for real, the moral high ground is beyond reach here. The MC is poor, but to his credit he has admirable character strength despite all he'sbeen through. There's also the fact that he's mixed race which is nice to see. Representations of non-stereotypical backgrounds is something that I'll always welcome in Manhwas. The plot definitely feels...raw and yet unprocessed. I don't know how to explain it, but if you read it you'll understand. It gets 3 marks for it's art style, 3 marks for it's characters portrayal and 2 marks for it's representation of diversity and an industry not many people talk about. 8/10. Bonus point, people actually express their emotions and problems as adults here, which is simply... AMAZING!.
