For the concerned ones, this is not your typical primary school essay. Please proceed with utmost caution.
I love animes and mangas with interesting plots, regardless of genre. But of course, no hentai! To be frank, I am not an avid otaku, but instead, a freelancer. So, I usually watch or read them when I am free. Free from studies, free from work and etc.

Regardless of genre? Are you kidding? No, I am not. I can tolerate shoujo animes as well as shounen ones. As long as the plot is compelling enough for me to stick my face onto the screen until the ending song of the last episode plays. For example, Steins;Gate, Parasyte -the Maxim- and Haikyuu!!. What about mangas? Masterpieces like Black Bulter and The World God Only Knows can keep me occupied the whole day.
Recently, I am more interested in "Webtoons", a new platform for Korean Manhwas to come to light. The word "Webtoons" is actually derived from "web" and "cartoons". There are a plethora of manhwas, from action to romance. Furthermore, the manhwas are mostly in full colour, have enthralling and fascinating plots, and you guess what - most of them are free. Well, it can be postulated as free as long as you exclude the price of your smartphone.
Here are some webtoons that I like, namely Noblesse, Tower of God and Cheese In the Trap. In my opinion, there are some distinct differences that draw the line between mangas and webtoons. Firstly, webtoons have plots that I can relate to my daily life, although some of them are fantasy stories that are completely different from the way our universe works. The human's personalities depicted are extremely realistic that they reflect the current social norms. The ways the characters react are also similar to what we would do if we were in their shoes. However, that is not the case for some mangas. But I still like reading both of them.
Secondly, webtoons are mostly in full colour whereas mangas are usually in black and white. But this does not concern me too much since I focus more on plot rather than artwork. Thirdly, webtoons are optimised to fit the screen of your smartphone while mangas are your typical book-sized comics. For mangas, you flip the pages. But for webtoons, you scroll.
Despite their differences, they are both enjoyable in their own ways. So why choose one of them? Read both.
