The Merman Trapped in My Lake
Art: R.PPOBI
Original Story: Mitchu
The Merman Trapped in My Lake is an ongoing dramatic romantic fantasy manhwa series that is currently serialized on WEBTOON with over 920,000 views.
Synopsis:
Servaine Noxirel grew up hearing stories from her great-grandfather—tales of the grandeur their noble house once enjoyed and the madness that ran through the bloodline. But the strangest of them all was the story of his niece, a sickly young girl who owned a merman she cherished so deeply that she trapped him in a lake to keep him all to herself. Despite apparently bearing a striking resemblance to her and being named after her, Servaine dismisses this story about her great-aunt as nothing more than a fairy tale. That is, until she meets the merman who believes his Servaine finally came back for him after a hundred years. But has he been waiting all this time because of love? Or for revenge…?
I Love Amy
Story and Art: unni
Complete in four volumes, I Love Amy is a Girls’ Love manhwa series that is complete in four volumes. The Korean webcomic was originally serialized on Tappytoon.
Synopsis:
Bibi loves Peter. And Peter would love Bibi…if not for that pesky girl Peter was talking to in the school hallway! Bibi needs her out of the way, so she invites her new rival over for “a sleepover.” But instead of making sure the girl from the halls won’t be a threat anymore, Bibi enjoys a pleasant night with her new friend, Amy. As they fall asleep, Bibi wrestles with an unfamiliar and confusing feeling. Something must be wrong, because Bibi loves Peter…right?
