The Horizon

I don’t often throw around the word “Masterpiece”, but I think it truly applies to this story.

In just 21 chapters, the author manages to build a believable post-apocalyptic world and attach you to the characters who are traveling through it. The art fits the story extremely well, with its dark, gritty style adding to the already heavy atmosphere of the story.

The Horizon does not hold back in addressing death, fears, and the darkest parts of the human existence, and is, at least through out the majority of the story, extremely nihilistic (or seemingly so).

With a great emphasis on philosophy and addressing the questions that every person must deal with at some point or another, The Horizon is a brutal story on the surface that contains a very hopeful message.

A 10/10, beautifully haunting story. If you’re considering reading, please check it out. You won’t regret it.

The Horizon is a Korean work launched in 2016 by Jeong, Ji-Hoon, tells the dramatic story of two children who in the midst of a war, pandemic, world disaster, try to survive and move on.

History 8/10- A simple, yet immersive, heavy and tragic story, brings to the reader several philosophies about humanity, succession etc ... (although sometimes the work does this in an expository way) How a good drama is full of scenes beyond emotions, but they could be better if the work was longer, in such a short time it’s difficult to get so attached to the characters, which would be essential for a drama

Art 10/10- Art expresses well what it wants, pain, joy, fear, disgust and so on, it is simply beautiful what the author does, makes the work even more emotional, in fact a spectacle in that respect.

Characters 6.5 / 10- As said before, this is a fundamental issue for the genre, as the work is short, it becomes more difficult to get attached to them, if not, I would say it would be even heavier, beautiful and exciting, but of course, not that the characters are bad, the relationship between the two principals is beautiful, both have their sad stories

Overall 8/10- With its immersive and philosophical history and beautiful art, I recommend this manhwa to everyone, especially for fans of apocalyptic and dramatic works, it is possibly one of the best in South Korea.
