Manhwa With the Best Art Styles: Solo Leveling, Eleceed & More

In recent years, the growing popularity of manga and manhwa has been attributed to several factors, the major one being the art style. While a good story is paramount to a manhwas’s success, it falls off if it isn’t visually appealing. These illustrations capture the reader’s attention as they give life to the characters with breathtaking expressions and accuracy. Manhwa art styles can draw you in with palpable texture, lively action, vibrant color, and lighting. To that regard, here are some manhwas with the best art styles.

Doom Breaker

The popular manhwa, written and illustrated by Cheong-Dam, has been turning heads since its release in 2021. It follows the story of Zephyr, the last human fighting evil after the gods abandoned the world. During his battle with the god of destruction, Tartarus kills him, but the gods, who enjoyed the show he had put on for several years, decide to send him back. Zephyr goes back in time with the knowledge of his past life and some new abilities. Now, Zephyr must prepare for Tartarus’ invasion and save everyone he cares about. While the story is fantastic, the art style is the major driving force behind the manhwa, as it brings the fight scenes to life.

Under The Oak Tree
