Is it really fair to make broad, sweeping statements such as: \\\"manhwa tends to focus more on story whereas manga focus on characters\\\"? I, for one would like to hear some further clarification and cited sources for that, especially considering the size and variety of the japanese manga industry compared to its relatively tiny korean counterpart. As for the \\\"more realistic-looking characters in manhwa\\\" assertion, I can personally attest to (having skimmed through many pages of korean comics along with looking up \\\"manhwa\\\" on google images) the fact that manhwa mostly looks indistinguishable from your typical manga fare. Oftentimes, manhwa characters look even \\\'\\\'less\\\'\\\' realistic than the typical shounen hero, especially in regards to manhwa\\\'s propensity for absurdly spindly physiques. Another thing I don\\\'t quite understand about this article is the claim that the manga and manhwa industries are equal competitors when it\\\'s patently obvious that manhwa is charitably speaking, embarassingly underrepresented on this wiki (and everywhere else for that matter) in comparison to other media. I apologize if this post comes across as overly hostile but it is only because of curiosity that I bring this up.
