Synopsis

In a world ravaged by war, a young boy walks down a lonely road in the aftermath of his mother's death. Along his journey, he witnesses military tanks, dead bodies, and his beloved city in ruins. With eyes clouded by anguish, he pushes himself to keep moving forward.

One morning, he meets a girl in an abandoned bus where he spent the night. Moments after their encounter, the area turns into a battlefield, and the pair escapes into a long abandoned lane. The two strangers decide to walk together to the end of the road, thus beginning a companionship that will ignite new hope inside their shriveled hearts.

I don’t often throw around the word “Masterpiece”, but I think it truly applies to this story.

In just 21 chapters, the author manages to build a believable post-apocalyptic world and attach you to the characters who are traveling through it. The art fits the story extremely well, with its dark, gritty style adding to the already heavy atmosphere of the story.

The Horizon does not hold back in addressing death, fears, and the darkest parts of the human existence, and is, at least through out the majority of the story, extremely nihilistic (or seemingly so).

With a great emphasis on philosophy and addressing the questions ...

I like the concept and idea behind this manhwa more than the actual execution. The chapters are all fine but I feel the emotional message didn't always come across as strongly due to some poorly placed writing, also some of it felt a little convenient, plus the Boy's outlook on life and death did a 180 pretty quickly. However, there were some superb chapters and I can truly recognise the fantastic ideas and messages in play. I like both the boy and the girl, and their story is defo a sad one, I think that sadness is what will stick with me from this series, ...
