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 of South Korean works almost always goes unnoticed as 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 they canceled the work on September 10th. Soon after noticing the plagiarism of Oshi no Ko and Kaguya-sama, readers criticized the work, forcing the publisher to cancel it.
Synopsis:
