Content Warning: Depictions of war

Spoiler Alert!

"The Horizon" is, in essence, a slice of life manhwa, albeit life that is plunged into darkness, death, and loss. A young boy is sheltered by his mother as war rages on, only for him to discover a sea of dead bodies in its wake. He meets a young girl, and their shared trauma becomes the first step towards healing and, most importantly, faith. However, with the world bent on denying their existence, can they love again? The webtoon aims to answer this question not just for its characters but also for us, readers, as the author whisks us away on a journey that constantly tests our hope and restores it at once.

You can read the webtoon in Korean, English, Thai, Japanese, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese.
