Talking About…

Talking About... is a long-running manhwa series by the South Korean artist Wann, first serialized in the early 2000s. The series occupies a notable space in the shift toward more introspective, character-driven storytelling within the manhwa landscape. It centers on the intricate interpersonal dynamics and emotional landscapes of its protagonists, moving away from the high-fantasy or action-heavy tropes that dominated much of the genre at the time.

The aesthetic of the series is defined by Wann’s distinctively fluid and emotive art style, which emphasizes subtle shifts in facial expression and body language to convey internal conflict. By focusing on the nuances of adolescent transition and identity, the work earned a devoted following for its atmospheric pacing and earnest treatment of teenage vulnerability. It remains a hallmark of Wann’s portfolio, often cited by scholars and enthusiasts for its contribution to the maturation of contemporary Korean comic narratives.
