The God of High School by Yongje Park
The God of High School leans into the successful action trope of a giant fighting competition. Prepare for non-stop combat! Jin Mori is our hero, a humble high school student and Taekwondo specialist who enters “The God of High School” tournament, which promises the winner anything they want. High school students from across South Korea compete with eclectic martial arts styles to not only determine who’s the best, but to gain the attention of literal Gods. Jin Mori and his friends all represent noble causes and tragic backstories, but only one of them can win this competition and achieve the impossible.

Boyfriends. by refrainbow
Some webcomics hook readers through fantastical stories that provide genre-heavy escapism. However, there are also series like refrainbow’s Boyfriends. that find success in the earnest, authentic romantic misadventures that consume its main characters. Boyfriends. transports its audience to that awkward coming-of-age period in college, where introverts come out of their shells and figure out who they really are. In Boyfriends., four college students (who are simply reduced to Nerd, Goth, Prep, and Jock) decide to better learn about themselves and each other by entering into a polyamorous relationship. Their slice-of-life antics may be built upon broad stereotypes, but Boyfriends. will surprise readers with its many emotional twists and turns.

Lumine by Emma Krogell
Lumine is set in a magical world where humans, witches, and werewolves coexist. However, rather than celebrate each other’s differences, Lumine presents a harsh society that’s eager to chastise over cherish. The titular character is a young weredog who finds himself pulled between extremes as he searches for purpose in a world that despises him. Lumine’s life forever changes after he meets Kody, a young male witch with a huge heart. A complicated love triangle plays out that’s dense in both heartbreak and acceptance, and rich feelings that can’t just be fixed with magical spells.
Lumine Volume 2 coming August 27, 2024!
