Sember’s Thoughts

5/5 Stars.

Comics like this are the reason I started this blog. Heir’s Game already has quite a following on Webtoons, but I’d like to introduce it to people who don’t spend hours crawling through Webtoons listings.

This comic gets 5 stars because it’s just that beautiful! It is wonderfully illustrated, delightfully diverse, with well written characters and an excellently realized world. It deals with class, the impact of war and corruption, and revolution. The main couple are so careful and gentle with each other, and the supporting cast is so much fun (even when they are evil lol)!

I can’t think of anything to say against this title. I really love it that much. I’d recommend this title for more mature audiences, due to violence and sensuality.

If you like: lots of diverse representation, pseudo-Italian vibes, mystery, comedy, and suspense then this is the comic for you! The author also has a Patreon if you like a little more ~sauce~ with your meal.
