Thanks for the interview! I like manhwas about villainesses so much! I hope that they will be adapted into anime! It would be great!

Always happy to see Miriam Bonastre's works get a shoutout, Hooky is one of the best webcomics in recent memory, in my opinion.

Uh, this is quite a interesting interview you done here ANN. I didn't think manhwa/webtoons would reach the level of near-level mainstream popularity in the west (compared to back in the 2000's, and parts of early 2010's when it was still super niche), I guess that's what happened when the popularity of K-dramas, and K-pop helped and played a big role in boosting manhwa/webtoons.

I think it's safe to say that webtoons/manhwa have now become big rival to Japanese manga in the west. As long as you have K-pop and K-drama that are still thriving, webtoons will continue to go parallel with their Japanese counterpart.
