Your Letter is a story about finding friends and how they can bring light to a person's life. Sori transferred to a new school in her hometown and finds a mysterious letter in her desk. The letter leads her on a scavenger hunt to find out who left the letters and why.

The plot is simple yet beautiful. This story easily could have been a much longer one, but in the 10 chapter run it manages to pull you in and pluck at your heart strings. Sori and Eugene's journies are about self acceptance. You can't expect incredibly written characters with the short length, but what's ... there is good. The side characters are mostly one note, however. The antagonistic figure only causes conflict for a single chapter and really isn't important to the overall. Sori and Eugene's budding friendship is really all that matters in the plot. My only con with the plot is that there's a level of magic in the story that never gets explained. It exists and moves the plot along to keep the pacing quick, but it seems to merely exist as a plot device.

The art is beautiful. It's stylized in a way that I personally enjoy. While the character designs are just those of typical students/teachers, the backgrounds and settings are where the real beauty lie. The symbolism and juxtaposition of characters is a nice added touch.

Your Letter is a short, heartfelt story that I think anybody would enjoy. The plot is interesting and the main characters' relationship really drives everything.

Great choice for those looking for a slice-of-life, sentimental type manhwa. Props to the author for having penned and drawn such an in-depth story in such few panels- the characters are great, the story’s great, the animated, interactive version of the manhwa was great- all in all, the whole ‘project’ if you will was definitely a success, and although I was kinda sad after finishing the last chapter, I definitely found the turnout was worth the abrupt end. I’d say it’s kinda like a manhwa form of ‘Your Name’ or ‘Spirited Away’ in the sense we don’t get a sad ending, but the end’s enough ... to make you want to cry, even as someone who doesn’t really cry from endings of movies or TV-Shows. From what I’ve seen, I feel as though Jung Ho-Yeon’s kinda underrated, so we’ve gotta have more of his stans out there, despite his evident lack of screen time. In short, a brilliant, sentimental manhwa that really promotes an awareness in its readers, regardless of whether intentional or unintentional- and, all in all, very much a success considering its simplistic and inspiring message.

*Still waiting on the anime adaptation of this, btw!

Review about the Manhwa "Your Letter" :-
1) Art(7/10): Art was somewhat from decent to good. It was simple and not too much flashy which compliments the story and gives you a soothing vibe.
2) Characters (5.5/10): Characters were just average. A righteous MC, a boy who's friend went somewhere without telling him and the friend who went somewhere having an operation for a disease: your run-off-the-mill characters.
3) Story(6/10): Story was decent. A bullied girl going on a quest to find letters in her new school left by some mysterious boy to help her settle in there. It gave off more of a Slice of Life vibe ... with a tinge of mystery and suspense element to it than being a complete mystery story.
4) Ending(6.5/10): Ending was good and wholesome but somewhat predictable.
OVERVIEW:-
It is a good read for people wanting a breather with not that much of a dark and deep storyline. It is a quick read consisting of 11 Chapters.
