Dead But Not Gone
By R.Schaeffer and Mioko_san
Genre: Thriller
Episodes: 10
Updates every Thursday
By the author of Not Even Bones comes the newest sensation, Dead But Not Gone! The webtoon is an exciting new thriller revolving around ghosts! The story follows a young boy named Brian as he moves into a new home. A home hundred times better than any of the houses he had lived in before. But his excitement for a new life quickly halts when he comes face to face with the residential ghost, Cam. Murdered by his own family, Cam haunts the house where he was killed. But when Cam meets Brian, all he sees is a happy family and a body that he can take over! The two become friends, with Cam forcing himself all over Brian’s new life. But for Brian, can he find out the real reason why Cam was killed and why the ghost is so interested in his life?
The art of this webtoon is absolutely adorable, which contrasts with the grim storyline. Bright colors and cool undertone bring focus to the subject of the story. I love how different Cam and Brian's personalities are, but also how different their upbringings were. From everything I’ve read about this one, I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds in the future!
All Haven Academy
By Akiocha
Genre: Drama
Episodes: 8
Updates every Monday
All Ava wants in life is to enjoy it. Nothing too fancy, nothing too hard. She just wants to lay in bed, roll into her blanket, and enjoy BTX’s latest video. But she learns that nothing in life ever works out how we want when her parents send her to the All Haven Academy. It’s a school only for those who are at the top of the top. Ava, who constantly fails her exams, is more surprised than mad at the fact that she even got in. Now, she fights for her spot amongst the rich and haughty kids of her age. Can she survive?
This webtoon is an interesting take on school drama with a supernatural twist. I love how the artist is influenced by pop culture and infuses references in their work. The webtoon’s amazing opening panel really blew me away, as it set the tone for the story. It makes me excited to see how Ava survives All Heaven’s Academy amongst her peers when all she wants to do is… nothing.

This webtoon’s art is gorgeous. Each frame feels like it has so much nuance and symbolism to look for. As someone who enjoys these types of dark and artistic stories, reading 23:4 feels like a treat!

This webtoon is a sweet Christmas love story with an enemies-to-lovers twist. The way how the story is planned and written is a joy to read. It feels like a Hallmark movie but in the best way possible! The art is so cute that you can’t help but smile while reading this story.
