Suitor Armor: Volume Three

(W) Purpah (A) Purpah

Lady-in-waiting Lucia makes dire discoveries that haunt her every move in this third volume of Suitor Armor, an exciting Webtoon romantasy graphic novel, with an exclusive bonus storyline and behind-the-scenes content.

After paying a visit to an illegal market on the outskirts of the kingdom, per direction from her imprisoned faerie ally Quinn, Lucia learns that she has been living in complete ignorance: Fairies are being tortured, mutilated, and killed as a consequence of the war. And the elves that she has seen humans taking as servants and laborers are just faeries who have had their wings forcibly removed. Lucia is ridden with immense guilt and emotional turmoil that she has survived for so long in secrecy as one the last of the monarch faeries with her wings still intact.

Bearing the weight of her newfound knowledge, amidst the arrival of King Reimund’s terrifyingly suspicious uncle Lord Ricon, Lucia fears she is no longer safe both within and beyond the castle. Modeus continues to serve as a pillar of comfort and safety for her, but he begins to develop his own complicated emotions while wrestling his true violent inclinations. Lucia’s relationship with Kirsi is strained as the future queen begins to assert herself and the power of her status, leaving Lucia feeling utterly alone.

Complete with original behind-the-scenes content and a bonus storyline exclusive to the book, this thrilling and suspenseful third volume includes episodes 39-51 of the greatly successful Webtoon webcomic.

The Boxer Vol. 11 dives further into Yu’s tortured childhood

IS THIS ALL THERE IS TO LIFE?

The dark basement room was all he knew growing up.

Eating the same meal, sleeping on the hard floor, and nursing his wounds day after day after day.

But when an outsider wanders into the boy’s small world, something new trickles into his life–hope.

However, hope is a fickle thing, and as it’s stripped away, the boy from the basement stares down his final opponent inside a boxing ring, nothing left to live for except crushing anyone who stands in his way.

Exclusive: Get a look at Art and Commentary for Orson James, Roman Calais, and Jor Ros’ Bad Influence, a Webtoon Original

Posted on by

HiHi Studios — the manga and anime-led studio co-founded by streaming icon Valkyrae and Range Media’s Kai Gayoso — has announced a partnership with start-up Otherly Productions, a next-generation studio reimagining how original franchises are created, launched, and scaled for today’s audiences. The first of their collaborations is Bad Influence, a high-energy, emotionally-raw sci-fi thriller set in a world of candy-colored lies, illustrated by the Barcelona-based artist Jor Ros and co-written by Orson James and Roman Calais. The first three episodes of Bad Influence are available as a Webtoon Original, with subsequent episodes dropping every Thursday. Readers have the option to unlock up to three additional episodes using Webtoon’s Fast Pass feature.

In Bad Influence, the city of Weisshorn is a surveillance city, where life is a never-ending parade–literally. Mascots smile from every screen, propaganda loops in cheery jingles, and the people are kept docile by distraction. At the center of it all is Oswald, a charismatic dictator with a showman’s flair and a deep need to control the story everyone lives inside. 

The series follows the adventures of Nel — a hot-headed and haunted young woman, who isn’t buying the dream sold to the masses. Nel joins a rebel gang to take the system down. But the deeper she digs, the weirder it gets. She unearths glitches, ghosts, and truths that no one wants uncovered. Reality’s falling apart. And Nel might be next.

Check out the exclusive commentary and art below and check out Bad Influence now!

Here we’ve got our main character Nel coming face to face with some of Oswald’s mascots. They were inspired by 1940s cartoons, an amalgamation of early Disney and Hanna Barbera. The challenge was making them feel real and intimidating without crossing into full-on horror. Visually, we leaned into their cartoon roots, but when you cut them they bleed. They also know what they are, and that self-awareness makes them even weirder. Think Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but with way more menace.

From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman is Now Available on WEBTOON

From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman

Manga hit From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman is available today on WEBTOON’s English-language platform. Adapted from the light novel of the same name, the manga has been reformatted for WEBTOON’s vertical scroll format and in full color.

From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman follows middle-aged swordsman Beryl Gardenant, who has only ever accomplished one thing: running a humble sword-fighting dojo in the quiet countryside. But when he’s paid a visit by his former pupil, Allucia, he discovers that she has become an elite commander — and she’s not the only one of his students who’s a renowned warrior. Forced by Allusia to become a special instructor to the strongest order of knights in the kingdom, Beryl must confront whether he’s able to reach his full potential, even as an old man.

The story began as a light novel written by Shigeru Sagazaki and illustrated by Tetsuhiro Nabeshima before it was adapted into a manga with art by Kazuki Sato and an anime that debuted on Prime Video in April 2025. The From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman manga is published and distributed by Yen Press in the United States.
