According to reports, people have also accused other webtoons of plagiarism in recent weeks for copying features from Chainsaw Man and Tonari no Atashi (To Be Next). However, plagiarism in South Korean works almost always goes unnoticed since webtoons are not as well-known as Japanese manga.
Written by Noh Gatryand and YLAB and illustrated by Oh Young , I Want to Date a Girl was popular on the Naver Webtoon until it was canceled on September 10th. Soon after readers noticed plagiarism from Oshi no Ko and Kaguya-sama, they criticized the work, forcing the publisher to cancel it.
Synopsis:
The story follows a doctor named Gorou, a fan of a 16-year-old idol named Ai Hoshino. One day, Hoshino appears at his office, claiming she's pregnant with twins, but her manager tells her to abort. However, the idol refuses; she wants to have both children. Gorou promises her a safe delivery. Little does he know that an encounter with a mysterious figure will result in his premature death, or so he thought. However, upon opening his eyes in his beloved idol's arms, Gorou discovers he has been reborn as Aquamarine Hoshino, Ai's newborn son! With his world turned upside down, Gorou soon discovers that the world of showbiz is full of controversies, where talent doesn't always bring success.
