Nineteen, Twenty-One
A gorgeously illustrated web comic that would put the best illustrators to shame, Nineteen, Twenty-One tells the sweet story of two people trying to find themselves as they face some of life's most difficult transitions.
Yun-lee, a girl comes back from coma to find her world completely changed. Meets mysterious young man, Dong-whi, who shares with her a common vision. Despite all the hardships that face them, the two decide to fly in the face of mediocrity and apathy to save a dwindling group of friends. Who also happen to be cats. Because to these two, felines are Serious Business.
Don't be put off by the tag that labels this work as a Romance -- there is something in this story for everyone.
This webcomic is written by "John", illustrated by "Jenna", and can be found at Naver, with an English translation currently being done by Easy Going Scans and hosted on Webtoon Live.
