In recent months, you have certainly come across the battle between manga vs manhwa . But after all, which of the two styles is dominating the screens, shelves and hearts of fans? Does traditional Japanese manga still have the upper hand, or has Korean manhwa finally earned its place in the sun?
In this post, we will delve into this universe of oriental comics, explore the characteristics of each one and discover who is really at the top of popularity!
Manga vs Manhwa: Which is more popular in 2024?
Growth of Manhwa
Thus, Manhwa – the South Korean version of manga, has grown steadily over the last decade or so. Also, recently we see more Korean manhwa are being adapted into anime. In fact, one of the most recent to be adapted was Solo Leveling, which was a huge success and we already have a 2nd season planned for next year!
On the other hand, the manga has obviously been around for a long time. So, understandably, there's no need to point out the manga's popularity, as it's obvious and expected. In addition, we have recent renowned works such as Kagurabachi and Dandadan, in addition to classics such as One Piece and Hunter x Hunter, which are once again published weekly.
Manga vs Manhwa – Dispute on Youtube
First, speaking specifically about YouTube, you can see that manga dominated between the two topics. But, Manhwa's red graphic isn't that bad. However, in comparison, it is clear who has more popularity between the two in the last 12 months (2023-2024). On the other hand, we see that Manhwa's red line has been more stable, while Manga's blue line drops slightly at certain points.
Manga vs Manhwa – Dispute on Google
When comparing manga and manhwas in the last 12 months via Google, you can see that the difference is the same as before on YouTube. Basically, there's nothing else to see here except the fact that the manga's mastery is obvious.
Manga vs Manhwa – Global Panorama
Finally, as we can see right away, manga is most popular in almost every country. Furthermore, the blue colors on the map reflect manga, while the red reflects Manhwa, and you cannot see any red spots on the map. In short, Manhwa's presence on the world map may not even exist (unless you zoom in a lot on the image).
Therefore, it is clear that Manga dominates thanks to all its tradition over decades. However, Manhwa's growth is frightening in such a short period of time. In other words, perhaps in the future we can see this difference decrease even more or even Manhwa surpass Mangas!
