Twilight Manwha…

The North American publisher Yen Press will release a manhwa adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight teenage vampire novel series by Korean artist Young Kim. The Entertainment Weekly magazine reports that “Meyer herself is deeply immersed in the project, reviewing every panel.” More details and illustrations will be published in the magazine’s next issue on Friday, although the publication date of the manhwa itself is still to be determined.

*insert facepalm here*

I’m practically not surprised anymore by this announcement of a Twilight adaptation for a manga, or a manwha perhaps (being done by a Korean artist).

*Le sigh*… But hey, Yen Press for sure will make lots of money outta this. Edward looks a little bit more closer than what he is described in the novel. Other than that, I’m not going to say anything more XD. I’ll leave it up to you. What do you think about Twilight getting a manga/manwha now?

    any faith that I had in the world is now dead, thanks twilight.

  2. Teairra says:

    Twilight sucks. Thanks to the overreacting fanbase that ruined it more. 😡

  3. Dokimasu says:

    Twilight isn’t that bad, really. It’s just that the stupid fangirls keep going gaga over Edward Cullen. DIE FANGIRLS! :rage:

    Also there’s no way I’m ever going to read that manga. XD

  4. I had RAGE~ :rage: when I first got heard the news. *hits head on the desk* The book wasn’t that bad. It was the annoying overrated hype for it. Oii…anyways, I’m pretty bothered and annoyed by more hype for it. Next thing you know, there’s going to be an anime (I hope not). x_x But it’s true, they’re probably going to make lots of money from it. >_<

    ^^^ I agree with Dokimasu.

    I’m absolutely waiting for the day where this fandom would die completely and be forgotten. But when??? WHEEEEN??????

  7. FuyuMaiden says:

    All I can think about is how the last thing the anime fandom needs is more crazy fangirls. Manhwa brings them too close! :baww:

    Also, I admit that the rebirth in “Harry Potter vs. Twilight” comparisons that don’t immediately say “Harry Potter wins because it has an actual continuing plot!” has me feeling especially bitchy (to the “Die Twilight! Die!” extent). Awful timing really.

    Oh well. No stopping it now. I better pray for my favorite series to end before any invasion could start.

  8. The only good thing about this is that Yen Plus is probably going to make bank on this, which means they can afford to take chances on other, better series….

  9. anon48799 says:

    Well yeah, probably the good thing is that they’ll make more money. And I agree that Edward looks indeed closer to what’s been described to him on the novel. Thank god it’s not some Robert Pattinson who looks like on some drugs 😆 .

    But still, not planning to check it out. Not a personal fan of manwha in general.

  10. Xiao says:

    That’s so boring. I want hawt Asian vampires if it’s going to be manwha. Edward’s the boring manslut now. /P

    Twilight can be holy for all I care. This vampire trend needs to be a hundred centuries outdated altogether anyway.

    F*CK NO

    they will become rich though. that will sell to the gazillions of hardcore fans.

    but money is prioritized over good story material so they can’t help it.

    :ehh: Will never care for this s***

  13. trisha says:

    NO WAY. :rage: :red: 😡

  14. DONOTWANT says:

    Twilight is just terrible. I can’t say anything “good” about it and it’s a really sad fact that it’s highly overrated by everyone. What irks me so much is that the creator is giving a really wrong way of interpreting vampires. DO NOT WANT SPARKLES. :rage:

    And now… *sigh* it’s getting more and more worse… The fandom should just die in a fire immediately.

  15. FurryFireFox says:

    Oh Jesus, just when I thought peace could finally be restored, Twilight has bounce back, sucking up and mauling the one safe haven I had left. Why, God? Why?

  16. kirapika says:

    :freeze2: *sigh* I know Twilight’s one of the big things for those people who have very questionable interest right now but really just.. wow. *facepalms*

  17. Kairu says:

    Why did you even wrote a post about this!!?? :rage:

  18. Ayumikat says:

    My reaction in hearing ‘TWEE’LIGHT getting a manhwa adaptation is this :XD: 😆 :XD: and then :ehh: I rather my sparkles from the HanaSei bishies :kyaa: than touch anything Tweelit.

  19. Llora-chan says:

    I’m definitely not reading that~ :ehh:

  20. Jazzikinns says:

    -__- *Sigh* The biggest surprise in this for me is that I’m not even that surprised. Since the adaptation of those Meg Cabot and James Patterson books as ‘mangas’ *cough cough graphicnovels cough*, I had a feeling that this would pop out of the wood works sooner or later. I’m not reading it, except maybe to laugh at it or, you know, so that I can criticize it without looking like an ignorant fool. The thing I’m dreading the most is going to be the sheer amount of *****SPARKLES***** that’ll be put into the pictures of Edward.
    Note to self: never, never, never let those Twilight-obsessed people in school know about it. If I do mention it, put it in next to an actually good work of fiction, eg. The Alchemist, Death Note, Haruhi, etc.
