The Boxer webtoon is both dark and wholesome at the same time. For a series to combine two polar opposite elements is rare, but this webtoon does it to a degree to which it can be called genius.
Sports, comedy, action, slice of life-
Story(8/10)
Characters(9/10)(Personally, this is the highlight)
'The dead are happier than the living...but the happiest are the ones who haven't been born.'-This is the attitude of the Mc(Yu) of this webtoon...He lacks any kind of personality, feels no emotions and basically has no faith in life. Despite this, you cant help but root for him and hope that he too can have a normal
...
happy life... His situation isn't relatable at all, but everyone of us has had the same thoughts as Yu at some point in our lives.
All the characters are extremely well written and often relatable to an extent... The development is real and just doesnt happen in a matter of few panels...The author takes time to go into details of each and every character- Their pasts, their hardships, their sacrifices, their efforts... this will force you to feel stuff.
This webtoon is absolutely ruthless in the sense that it speaks about the harsh realities of life and sticks to realistic narration...there are no miracles or superpowers... This isn't a fairytale in the least... It has a deep meaning... but at least there are happy endings?...this makes it somewhat wholesome.
Although it speaks about hardships and struggles in life i wouldnt call it just dark themed... Don't think too much... This is a unique read that is capable of indulging u on multiple fronts and genres making it very enjoyable...Just give it a try.
