Korean manhwa has capably ventured in to all the genres that anime has popularized, and these action manhwa are just some of the many examples.
Manhwa (the Korean analog to manga) has been growing in popularity over the last few years, though it has a history that is almost as long as manga’s. There are plenty of Korean writers and artists who have created successful manhwa, and even a few who have made the jump over to Japan to become successful in the manga industry there.
Just like manga, action-packed manhwa with plenty of battles and exciting powers are fairly popular. While they aren’t as popular as their Japanese shonen analogs, any self-proclaimed fan of action manga should not miss these manhwa series.
