About the webtoon
“Aquaman” (아쿠아맨 in Korean) was written and illustrated by McQueen Studio (맥퀸스튜디오).
“Jump into the life of twenty-something NaRu as he navigates through the confusing world of modern dating. He’s faced with familiar moments we’ve all been through such as “should I add that smiley face at the end of the text?” or “why haven’t they responded to my text?” But the added challenge for NaRu? He’s never dated, doesn’t use a cellphone, and most importantly someone’s out there to sabotage his dating life!” - KAKAO Webtoon
