Love Junkie Webtoon Manhua
Title: Love Junkie: Addiction, Agency, and Aesthetic in Contemporary Webtoon Manhua
Abstract This paper analyzes the webtoon/manhua Love Junkie (serialized digital comics) to examine how the series stages romantic addiction, negotiates agency within gendered power dynamics, and uses webtoon-specific aesthetics (vertical scroll, color, pacing) to shape reader engagement. Combining close reading with platform-contextual analysis, the study situates Love Junkie among transnational East Asian digital comics and argues that its narrative strategies reflect and critique late-capitalist consumption of intimacy.
