Ho! is a cartoon that brings to mind a long list of words that make you feel good. It was one of the most popular webtoons on Naver during its serialization, and reading it in book form is a whole new experience. The storyline flows more naturally, engaging the reader as intended by the author, who had the book form in mind. The sophisticated use of empty space and details makes readers feel as though they’re looking at watercolor paintings. Ho! is an extraordinary cartoon that leaves one feeling healed and happy, which is a rare thing in an era deluged with stimulating but short-lived content.
Eoksu-si, the cartoonist, has shed a warm light on the difficult lives of the youth living in this era. In this book, he does the same with the love story between Won, an ordinary guy and Ho, a lovely girl who is hearing impaired. The story unfolds naturally from past to present, like a trip down memory lane. It is engaging without exaggeration, making it easy for readers to sympathize with the characters’s thoughts and feelings.
The sophistication of the artwork, as well as the subtle charm of the dialogue, touch the sensibility of the reader with even greater power in the book form. It’s a beautiful book you’ll want to keep by your side at all times.
