6 Slice-Of-Life Webtoons That Will Help You Chill
Are the dramas on WEBTOON suddenly too dramatic? Do you need a break from the villains and villainesses? My life is stressful as it is and sometimes I need to unwind without getting invested into an extremely high-stakes plot. What about you? If so, you're in luck. These webtoons are cute, funny and guaranteed to not stress you out as much as a typical drama. Here are six slice-of-life webtoons to chill to: We Work From Home We Work From Home is a relatively new addition to WEBTOON, but is easily one of my top 10 slice-of-life webtoons. The art style is very vibrant with thick outlines with a heavy use of sharp highlights in hairs/furs. The comic is about a soon-to-be-married couple and their two cats. Though right now, most of their comics have been about their two cats. I can't wait to see what the cats get into next and learn more about the relationship between the two characters as more chapters are released, but until then we can read up on chapters about stray fur, meowing at night and how play fights between cats quickly turn to cats bullying each other. RELATED: 5 Tyrants That WEBTOON Made Me Fall in Love With Follow the creator on Instagram The Dog Diaries Dog Diaries starts in a black-and-white style, to show how dull and depressing the life of the main character is. Our protagonist is a workaholic who is going through severe burnout and can't take care of herself adequately. That is until one shred of color joins the world: a puppy. With her new puppy around, our hero is forced to clean up and actually leave her desk once in a while to make sure the scamp gets enough walks and attention. Not everything is belly rubs and rainbows, though. Drama hits from time to time, but we always come back to Reading it made me want to go adopt a dog right away, so read with caution. Follow the creator on Instagram Brutally Honest Did you know the creator of the hit furry/ice-skating comic, Blades of Furry, made a slice-of-life webtoon? It was on WEBTOON originals but ended back in 2017 to move back to WEBTOON CANVAS. While I don't know why it was taken off Originals, I can say that it has the quality to go back on. RELATED: 5 Devastating WEBTOON Curses Brutally Honest has a fun art style with loose, thick black lines, big eyes and minimal details. The humor is very relatable to creatives, but anyone living in the modern world can relate to most of it From fretting over checking your emails to getting random pains when running, there is something for everyone. Plus One Remember when I said to be cautious with The Dog Diaries because it will make you want a dog? Be double cautious with this one. Plus One follows the day-to-day life of a young soon-to-be mom. We start out with the main character announcing her positive pregnancy test while her partner is trying to poop. Everything is kept really light and comedic and is based off the creator's life. So as the pregnancy develops in real life, we get to see that in the comic world. It is only a matter of time until this pregnancy journey turns into a parenting journey, and I'm 100% invested. RELATED: Saturday Morning Webtoons: Sword Interval and Ghost Theater Follow the creator on WEBTOON Mono and Mochi Cat memes never get old, and neither do comics about introverts living with them. Mono is a 20-something introvert and Mochi is their chaotic cat. If you liked the humor in The Daily Life of High School Boys, you'll love this comic. There is a surprising amount of slap-stick humor for something produced this decade, but it all works insanely well. Guess it goes to show that a cat biting you when you pet its belly will always be the funniest thing ever. Follow the creator on Twitter and Instagram Dinosaur Couch Human comics are so overdone, am I right? What the world really needs is two dinosaurs that hang out together in the most wholesome ways imaginable. Lucky for us, that exists. RELATED: 7 Romance Webtoons That Don't Have Reincarnation I didn't think the day would ever come that I'd find a comic like Dinosaur Couch , but here with are. There is little to no plot other than the fact that some dinos reappear and have the same personality as before. This is the ideal comic for your regular dose of funnies, as comics are almost every other day with jokes that never miss their mark. Who knew dinosaur jokes couldn't get old? Follow the creator on their website I'm so excited to sit back and relax to these comics. Which one are you most excited about checking out? Sound off in the comments!

Why is this S.Korean webtoon so controversial that it's now cancelled, alongside a planned drama?
SEOUL, July 6 — You wouldn't think a webtoon of all things would create a huge furore in South Korea but one has ruffled a lot of feathers with its questionable subject matter. According to The Korean Herald, the webtoon The Elementary School Student I Love's storyline about an elementary school teacher falling for her student is now no longer available online after severe backlash. Interestingly the webtoon even had a live-action adaptation planned for it, which is also now cancelled. The real question here is how did the webtoon even get greenlit in the first place considering its disturbing plot. Naver Webtoon confirmed that it had suspended sales of the webtoon as a 'precautionary measure' in response to 'widespread user feedback.' There is no set date for the resumption of the series. Besides Naver Webtoon, Kakaopage, Kybo Book Centre as well as Ridi have removed the webtoon. C&C Revolution, the original publisher of the webtoon, had announced a live series adaptation of the series but production company Meta New Line has confirmed on Friday it would not be happening. The webtoon isn't new — it was actually serialized from 2015 to 2020, telling the story of Shim Cheong-ah who forms a connection with an online gaming partner, only to find he is her student Im Dang-su. Shim initially develops romantic feelings for her partner until she discovers his true identity and her affections grow platonic. The Korea Federation of Teachers' Associations condemned both the source material and its adaptation in a statement: 'Attempts to sexualise children under the guise of creativity and artistic originality can never be justified.' It further added, 'Considering the harmful impact this drama could have on society and educational settings, as well as the potential violence it may inflict on children and adolescents, we strongly urge an immediate halt to production.' The portrayal of a teacher being romantically attracted to an underage student is 'a clear glamorisation of grooming,' the association said.

K-drama The First Night with the Duke: Seohyun, Ok Taec-yeon lead escapist period fantasy
Lead cast: Seohyun, Ok Taec-yeon Advertisement Latest Nielsen rating: 3.3 per cent K-drama formulas can be pretty rigid, but for many viewers, it is precisely the comforting sense of familiarity that they offer that keeps them coming back for more. This also applies to the popular webtoons and web novels that many of these shows are based on and their readers. The fantasy drama The First Night with the Duke begins with just such a reader, a nameless college student – played by Seohyun from K-pop group Girls' Generation – who loves to lose herself in her favourite period romance, the tawdry and clichéd webtoon Lord Tyrant's Obsessive Love. When the webtoon announces it will go on hiatus, the woman lambasts the writer during a drunken comment rampage before falling over and knocking her head just as the writer responds: 'Since you're so great, why don't you try writing it yourself?'
