Webtoon and manga are two different forms of comics. Manga is a traditional form of Japanese comics that dates back to the early 1900s. Webtoon, on the other hand, is a more recent form that originated in South Korea in the early 2000s. Now, it is also popular in Japan, with Piccoma making the biggest revenue among the smartphone apps in the country in 2019.
Manga is typically printed in black and white and is read from right to left. Manga artists often use a lot of detail and shading in their drawings. On the other hand, webtoon artists use bright colors and simple lines to create their animations.
Webtoons are usually read from left to right. They are also often released as episodes or “chapters” usually 10-15 minutes long. Manga is typically released as tankōbon, collections of chapters that are often released quarterly. Manga is serialized in Manga magazines, while webtoons are published online.
