In this depressing episode, Xan reviews a soul crushing Korean Manhwa that tells the story of a boy and a girl alone in a world where everything has been lost. Prepare to be disturbed as he reviews the older teen centric war drama manwha known as The Horizon by JH. Our host is audibly disturbed by this manhwa, so this may be one comic that is not for all audiences. You might want to give it a chance though. Either way, Xan lightens up when he talks about the latest manga releases, An Otakon Announcement and the WHEEL of MANGA. Remember to Like, Share and Subscribe.
