Gory, grimy, and dark. This comic isnât for the faint of heart. No more home sweet home, prepare yourself for a house of horror. Hyun Cha, a social outcast, just lost his family and now he might lose his life. A virus has mutated humans into monsters with bloodlust. Along with other survivors, they must fight for their lives.
Usually, slice-of-life comics are about young people trying to find their way in the world. Yumiâs Cells deviates from the formula by having a thirty-two-year-old instead. Follow Yumi and her brain cells as she struggles with being lovesick, ageing, and just living. The art style is very old school, giving it a nostalgic yet fresh look. This comic is also very long with 366 episodes, but with itâs fast-paced. Soon, youâll be at the end and wishing for more!
They say true beauty comes from within, right? Well, not for the main character of this story. Follow Jugyeong Lim as she struggles her identity as a nerd by night and as the schoolâs beauty by day.
