As I delve deeper into these captivating series, each one offers a unique and engaging tale that leaves me yearning for more. The first story, “Blood and Roses”, is a delightful blend of romance, drama, and supernatural elements set against the backdrop of a society where vampires coexist with humans. Our protagonist, Baek Ma Ri, is a young female vampire who longs for peace and stability amidst years of discrimination. Yet, her life takes an unexpected turn when she finds herself drawn to her innocent classmate, Jung Jae Min. What unfolds is a tale of forbidden love, conflicted emotions, and the struggle to maintain one’s identity in a world that fears what you are.


Amongst the myriad manhwa styles, there’s a particularly tranquil subcategory, which could be termed as such. These stories envelop readers in a comforting embrace, providing solace and relaxation. Typically, they revolve around tender storylines, familiar characters, and peaceful environments that offer an escape from the daily grind of one’s life.

These manhwa often offer heartwarming tales about friendship, everyday experiences, or just a relaxing read. Generally, they captivate in a gentle yet reassuring manner, promising a story with a calming narrative and minimal surprises.

“A Chance Encounter Under the Frosty Sky

From my perspective as an avid reader, this intriguing narrative delves into the lives of two extraordinary characters: a girl aged nineteen, battling a unique growth disorder that keeps her physically confined in a child’s body, and a boy around seventeen, grappling with a mental condition that leaves him mentally handicapped, trapped within an adult’s frame. Their paths cross by fate, leading to a captivating portrayal of their daily lives, the challenges they face due to their health issues, and their unique approaches in navigating these hurdles.

I Love Yoo might be a lengthy read, but it’s filled with humor and warmth despite its initial somber tone. The narrative revolves around the life of Shin-Ae, a college student who finds it hard to form close relationships. Her past, marked by her parents’ abandonment, particularly her mother’s, has left deep emotional scars, causing Shin-Ae to distance herself from others.

In essence, she’s enduring nothing but sorrow and distress from them. It appears that Shin-Ae might persist in living her isolated, monotonous existence until an unintentional mishap causes damage to a stranger’s garments. This seemingly minor incident, however, turns out to be the spark that sets off the transformation she so desperately requires.

  • Genre: Drama, Romance, Supernatural

From a captivated fan’s perspective, I’d say “UnTouchable” weaves an enchanting, heartwarming supernatural tale, focusing on Sia Lee, a unique vampire who derives energy from human contact instead of blood consumption. However, the arrival of a new neighbor sets off a series of intricate complications in this charming narrative.

In their recent proximity, the other key character, Jiho, has become her neighbor. Yet, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to touch him despite this. On the contrary, Jiho struggles with mysophobia, a strong fear of being touched. With a vampire eagerly seeking physical contact and Jiho’s intense phobia, it remains unclear how their relationship will unfold as they continue to interact.

4 Do You Believe In Ghosts?

  • No. of Chapters: 34
  • Genre: Comedy, Romance

Do You Think Ghosts Exist? offers an adorable and touching take on horror tales, if any exist. The narrative centers around Destiny Han, a charming but accident-prone 21-year-old student pursuing production. Her college has a reputation for being haunted by numerous ghostly entities, and it isn’t long before she encounters one herself. In an attempt to conceal her apprehension, Destiny shares a frightening tale with her friend. Regrettably, this fear manifests in an unintended altercation with her neighbor, Skyler Lee, whom she believes to be a ghostly presence.

It appears that Skyler has the unique ability to perceive and communicate with spirits, and by physically contacting him, she can briefly witness ghosts as well. An unconventional bond forms between them, leading Destiny to harbor a strong affection for Skyler. Yet, it seems doubtful that a romantic involvement with her ghost-sensing neighbor will end up being sustainable in the long run.

3 Orange Marmalade

  • Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance, Supernatural

Love really transcends race in the Orange Marmalade series, even when such love is between a human and a vampire, a cute vampire at that. The series is set in a time where vampires and humans are seemingly coexisting side-by-side within society, even if the coexistence involves heavy discrimination against the supposed vampires. It follows the life of the central character, Baek Ma Ri, a young female vampire, who after being forced to constantly move around due to her nature, just wants to settle down peacefully with her family in her newest city.

After enduring years of persistent discrimination, Ma Ri seldom ponders over emotions like love or friendship. However, a certain fragrance has been igniting something deep within her: her innocent classmate, Jung Jae Min. Overwhelmed by the urge to sip his blood, she eventually succumbs. Yet, an unexpected twist arises when the one she intended to victimize starts developing feelings for her instead.

  • Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Romance, Slice of Life

Title Character “Familyman” offers a delightful read with a warm and reminiscent family vibe. The narrative centers around the central figure, Kwon Gang-Ho, a devoted father and husband, who strives to help his loved ones in every way possible. However, a stark contrast is presented as Gang-Ho’s wife and children reside in Seoul, where his wife singlehandedly cares for their offspring. Tragically, Gang-Ho experiences a series of unfortunate events when an accident occurs due to his negligence, resulting in severe facial scarring.

Following his termination, he leaves his place of work and heads back to Seoul. Stricken with guilt and unable to confront his family after losing his job, he temporarily stays with a friend instead. The narrative unfolds when he rescues his daughter from an approaching car while she’s trying to cross the bustling street, donning the mask of her beloved hero: Gugu-Man.

After the event, Gang-Ho starts wearing the garb of the hero for covert surveillance of his loved ones, marking the initiation of an endearing chapter in the life of Family Man.

1 Oh! Holy

  • Genre: Comedy, Romance, Supernatural

In any normal society, seeing and talking to ghosts probably attracts much negative attention; however, nobody really cares about that in the Oh! Holy! Series and this works well in the favour of the story’s protagonist, Jamie Oh.

The story traces the life of an unassuming protagonist who possesses the unique ability to perceive and converse with ghosts, who are essentially his closest companions. Jamie finds comfort in living a rather inconspicuous existence until he catches the attention of the most prominent girl at school. It remains a mystery as to why she’s taken such an interest in him, but what’s clear is that his life, up until now, has been anything but ordinary and unnoticed, will soon become anything but invisible.
