{{Main|Manhwa}}
Manhwa ( 만화 ) refers to Korean comics and print cartoons, with the term often used internationally to designate comics originating in Korea. While manhwa shares cultural and linguistic roots with Japanese [[manga]] and Chinese [[manhua]], it has developed a unique identity influenced by Korea’s historical, cultural, and artistic landscape. Modern manhwa has gained global popularity, partly due to the rise of [[Webtoon (platform)|webtoons]]—digitally formatted comics designed for scrolling on mobile devices. This success has contributed to adaptations into movies, dramas, and television series.

The concept of manhwa emerged under the influence of Japanese manga during the Japanese occupation of Korea in the early 20th century. Manga’s established presence in Japan during this period strongly shaped the foundational styles and formats of Korean comics. As [[Korea]] transitioned into independence, manhwa evolved into a distinct medium, balancing the artistic influences of its neighbors with traditional Korean aesthetics and storytelling.
