As you can see, Webtoon honored a number of titles in Korea, and most of these series are available to binge in English. You can access the Webtoon app from just about any device at this point, and it reaches millions of readers daily. Following its launch in 2004, Naver Webtoon has become the go-to source for online manga, manhwa, and more. With international hits like Tower of God at hand, the publisher has made a name for itself with even the most casual readers, and it has big plans for the future.
