While all three – webtoons, manga, and manhwa – are digital comics, they originate from different cultures. Webtoons are primarily Korean digital comics, manga is Japanese, and manhwa is a Korean term often used for comics with a distinct visual style and storytelling approach. They share similarities in format but have unique artistic conventions and narrative traditions.
