Manhwa: Trace

Summary:
This is taken from the wiki page...

The Trace is a South Korean webcomic series written and illustrated by manhwa artist Go Yeong-hun or known as his pen name, "Nasty Cat".

The story set in the contemporary South Korea. Some 30 years ago, unidentified creatures appeared out of nowhere and have attacked people. They have caused massive destruction wherever they go. The monsters are called "Trouble"s, and get the world have fallen into chaos. Along with the first appearance of the "Trouble"s, some number of humans were born with or acquired supernatural abilities. These mutants called "Trace"s are the only ones who can fight the "Trouble"s. The "Trace" are also considered freaks and generally shunned by the community because some of them misused the powers for their own interest.

The plot revolves around two main characters. Sa Ghang Gwon, a high school student born as a "Trace" who attempts to hide his ability. The other is Kim Yun Seong, who acquired his "Trace" abilities during his early 30's.

I am not a Korean fan and all I know and liked are Japanese works, so there is bias when I read between their works.
But a friend of mine recommend a comic called Trace, "it's good!" that what he said. So I tried looking at it at Manga Fox to see if it is really good. And there it was! The comic or Manhwa (a general Korean term for comics and print cartoons (common usage also includes animated cartoons). Outside of Korea, the term usually refers specifically to South Korean comics.) adapts the western style of comic strip. unlike Manga that read from right to left, it's the otherwise. As shown at Manga Fox, it only has few pages but the page is long and that makes it amazingly unique and by this style, you can read it fast.

So for those who are interested, I recommend Trace too! It's Good!!!
