What is special webtoon today?

▧ Killer Badro

Genre: Action / Revenge / Neo-noir
Status: Ongoing (Ep. 105 and counting)

Imagine this: an old, washed-up hitman — the kind of guy who’s killed more people than he’s hugged — gets betrayed by his own crew and left for dead. ˇ
But surprise! He wakes up one day… young again. Yup, Benjamin Button meets John Wick.

Now he’s out for revenge, but there’s a twist: nobody recognizes him anymore. That’s both a blessing and a curse. He can sneak around, hunt down his betrayers, and figure out who set him up — but also, who is he now? The old killer? Or a man reborn?

The story dives deep into identity, memory, and morality. Every time Badro pulls the trigger, he’s haunted by the question:

“Am I killing them for justice… or because I miss who I used to be?”

It’s brutal, stylish, and philosophical — like if John Wick, Blade Runner, and Memento had a love child in a Korean webtoon. ∩

▧ Vigilante

Genre: Crime / Thriller / Social commentary
Status: Completed (but forever relevant)

Meet Kim Ji-yong: top student at the police academy by day, masked avenger by night.
His mom was murdered when he was a kid, and the killer? Got off with a slap on the wrist. ∧
So Ji-yong decided: “If the system won’t give justice… I’ll be the system.”

He becomes the Vigilante, punishing criminals who slipped through the cracks of the law. The media calls him a monster, the public calls him a hero, and the cops — well, they’re confused as hell.

But the deeper he goes, the blurrier the line gets.
Is he fixing the law, or just becoming another criminal?
Every punch lands like a moral dilemma.

If Batman grew up in Seoul, studied criminal law, and had trauma issues that no therapist could fix — that’s Vigilante. ∨

▧ Goldfish (Geumbungeo)

Genre: Noir / Psychological drama
Author: Yoha

This one’s not about cute pets. Nope — it’s about a killer’s conscience in the form of a goldfish.
Our man, Yeon, is a professional hitman who doesn’t feel emotions. One day he saves a tiny goldfish — and that single act cracks his emotional armor. √

From then on, he’s haunted by guilt, hallucinations, and the ghosts of the people he’s killed. The goldfish becomes his silent therapist, the only thing keeping him tethered to humanity.
But redemption’s a tricky thing. The more Yeon tries to atone, the more his world falls apart.

By the end, you’re not sure if he found peace or just drowned in his own guilt.
It’s dark, slow, and devastating — like watching Taxi Driver underwater.

▧ Eleceed

Genre: Action / Comedy / Superpower
Authors: Son Jeho (Noblesse) & ZHENA

You like action and adorable cats? Boom, here you go.

Jiwoo Seo is your everyday soft-hearted cat rescuer… who accidentally saves the most powerful superhuman on Earth, trapped inside a cat’s body. ♥
That cat — Kayden — trains Jiwoo into a lightning-fast powerhouse while insulting him 24/7. Their relationship is half buddy-cop movie, half parent-child therapy.

The fights? Electric. The humor? Top tier.
The heart? Huge.
It’s like Spider-Man: Homecoming meets One Punch Man, but with more fur and sass. ♡

▧ Mercenary Enrollment (Ijin)

Genre: School drama / Military action

Yoo Ijin isn’t your average transfer student — unless your high school also has PTSD, knife fights, and flashbacks to warzones.

After years as a child mercenary overseas, Ijin returns to Korea to live a normal life. Spoiler: normal doesn’t last long. Bullies, gangs, shady corporations — all of them learn very quickly that this kid isn’t to be messed with.

But here’s the emotional punch: beneath all the broken bones and tactical takedowns, it’s a story about healing. Ijin doesn’t just fight others — he’s fighting to be human again.
It’s John Wick goes to high school, but with actual feelings. ♥♥

‡ The Knight Who Lives Today

Genre: Fantasy / Time loop / Tragedy

Our hero, Roan, is cursed to live only one day at a time — and every midnight, time resets.
He’s trapped in an endless cycle of death, trying to save his kingdom, his comrades, and maybe his soul.

At first, it’s pure survival — but after hundreds of loops, Roan begins to see the deeper meaning behind his curse. Maybe it’s not punishment. Maybe it’s redemption.

This webtoon is Dark Souls meets Re:Zero — poetic, tragic, and filled with quiet heroism.
You’ll cry. You’ll think about life. You’ll probably want to start journaling.
