The Horizon review

It's a mostly contemplative, harsh and bleak story, sort of in the vein of Blame! which means little dialogue and loneliness abound. It will make you react emotionally whether you like it or not, it's abrupt and brutal in it's approach for sure in regards to the relationships within The Horizon. By no means it conveys schadenfreude, you will root for the characters like you're there.

I recommend witnessing for yourself this tragic story has humans are portrayed like merciless survivors, hopelessly clinging to life when all hope is gone. It has a beautiful depth to it and is, in my opinion, deserving of the highest rating. It may be a short manhwa and to the point, it may even be simplistic in it's art style, but surely has a magic of it's own.

One of the things I particularly enjoy when reading manga (contrary to anime) is that I can read while listening to a suitable soundtrack of my choosing, that definitely heightens the mood. I would go for something more dark ambient, or even something heavier and doom-ish.

And yes.. it will make you want more development, context and explanation by the end. That's never a bad thing, it means it lingers in your mind, like all the stuff you experience intensely and makes an impression on you, and that itself can be considered "good art". The Horizon, is one of those works of art, and I fully recommend it.
