2. “The Nuna At Our Office” - Palmeiro, WasakBasak, JANE
If Jung HaeIn and Son YeJin’s “Something In The Rain” made you feel some type of way, “The Nuna At Our Office” is going to rip your heart out, only to gently put it back together..kinda. It tells the story of Manager Son, a thirty-something employee, and Manager Ahn, his older co-worker who he falls in love with. However, he soon realizes that the pressures of society might be too difficult to bear. It is based on the true story of the author, which amplifies the immersion manifold. This webtoon is romance at its finest - dreamy, enchanting, and rosy but also melodramatic and painfully realistic at that. You’re going to be getting butterflies on the one hand and waterworks on the other, but the balance is so wonderfully created that you’re not going to be able to put it down. You can read this webtoon in English here.
