Thank you! I really hope you’re right! I want so much to help bring some much-needed attention to manhwa.

And you’re welcome! You review more manhwa than most, so expect to see it happen again! :D

This is such a good idea! I’m a big fan of manhwa, but there’s so little information on it in English compared to manga, and I always find it hard to research outside of reviews. I think this will definitely help raise awareness and gather the information all in one place. And there really is an awful lot of good manhwa out there.

And I’m very flattered you featured my review in the first column. Thank you!

Thank you, Lissa! I very much agree that manhwa needs more love, and I think even more so, a clear identity within the manga-reading community. Though I think manga readers are a good target audience (not the only audience, but a good one), I think manhwa ends up just getting lumped in with manga all the time instead of being recognized for its own strengths and cultural heritage. I want to help change that, if possible. I have no delusions about my influence as one blogger in the great sea of the internet, but I'll do what I can! :)

Really great idea for a feature – manhwa needs more love, especially with so many high quality stories out there right now :)
