City of the Hungry

Korean manhwa "City of the Hungry" was written and illustrated by the author and illustrator Ha Il-Kwon. The action of the novel takes place in a world where a mystery illness has transformed the majority of people into monsters like zombies called "Hungries." A young man named Hyeon, who resides in a city overtaken by the Hungries, is the story's primary character. In order to survive, Hyeon and his companions—among them a former soldier by the name of Jin—must navigate the perilous metropolis and scrounge for supplies.

As the plot develops, Hyeon and his pals learn about a broader conspiracy involving the virus's beginnings and a mysterious group called the "Black Tower." Hyeon must also face his history and accept responsibility for the death of his sister. "City of the Hungry" is renowned for its realistic, brutal depiction of a zombie apocalypse, as well as its rich, complex characters. Themes like guilt, atonement, and the capacity of the human spirit to persevere in the face of insurmountable obstacles are also explored.
