Community Manhwa

Modern Day Manhwa

Made by the community on Manhwa AI

A tired young witch with short silver hair and a crooked black hat works the night shift at a tiny convenience store.

Panel 1: She stands behind the register at 2:00 a.m., staring blankly at a glowing blue ghost who has placed a cup of instant noodles on the counter. The store is empty, fluorescent-lit, and rainy outside. The ghost looks nervous and searches its transparent pockets.

Panel 2: The witch sighs and points to a handwritten sign that says, “NO SOULS, CURSES, OR ANCIENT COINS.” The embarrassed ghost holds up one ancient gold coin while the noodles begin floating beside it.

Style: supernatural comedy, expressive faces, detailed modern manhwa art, cinematic lighting.

CHAPTER: “ANNOUNCEMENT DAY / THE TOUR RETURNS”
⸻

The morning started like any other—

until it didn’t.

⸻

BLACKPINK were gathered in the living room.

Not for rehearsal.

Not for casual planning.

But for something bigger.

⸻

Jisoo stood first, holding a printed schedule in both hands. Her long dark hair was softly styled, and she wore a calm ivory blouse with tailored trousers.

Her expression was steady—but there was excitement underneath it.

⸻

Jennie leaned forward immediately.

“Don’t tell me…”

⸻

Jisoo nodded.

“It’s official.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

Rosé covered her mouth slightly, blonde hair falling over her shoulders as she smiled.

“…We’re going on tour?”

⸻

Jisoo smiled back.

“Yes.”

⸻

The room shifted instantly.

⸻

Jennie stood up.

“International?”

⸻

“International,” Jisoo confirmed.

⸻

Lisa hadn’t spoken yet.

⸻

Lisa sat on the edge of the sofa, staring at the schedule in Jisoo’s hand.

Her brown hair was tied loosely, casual home clothes replacing stage outfits for now.

Her expression slowly changed—

from surprise…

to recognition…

to something softer.

⸻

“…It’s been a while,” she said quietly.

⸻

Jennie pointed at her.

“That tone means you’re already thinking about choreography.”

⸻

Lisa blinked.

“…No.”

Pause.

“…Maybe.”

⸻

Rosé laughed softly.

“That’s a yes.”

⸻

⸻

Jisoo sat down beside them.

“This tour isn’t just performances,” she said gently. “It’s a full journey again.”

⸻

Jennie smiled.

“So basically… chaos with a schedule.”

⸻

“Exactly,” Jisoo replied.

⸻

⸻

Lisa finally looked up fully.

Her eyes had changed slightly.

Not tired.

Not overwhelmed.

Focused again.

⸻

“…We’ll need to prepare everything,” she said.

⸻

Jennie grinned.

“There she is.”

⸻

Rosé nodded.

“I’ve missed that energy.”

⸻

⸻

From the hallway, small footsteps paused.

Noah and Ari stood there, listening.

⸻

Ari tilted her head slightly.

“…Tour means you’ll be gone a lot.”

⸻

Lisa turned toward them.

“…Yeah.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

Noah crossed his arms.

“So it’s going to be just us at home more.”

⸻

Jennie raised an eyebrow.

“That sounded suspiciously like a complaint.”

⸻

Noah shrugged.

“I’m observing.”

⸻

⸻

Lisa stood up and walked toward them.

Kneeling slightly to their level.

“…We’ll still be here,” she said. “Just busy.”

⸻

Ari nodded slowly.

“I get it.”

⸻

But her voice was thoughtful.

Like she understood both sides of “busy” now.

⸻

⸻

Jennie clapped once.

“Okay. Tour mindset starts today.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

“I’m excited.”

⸻

Jisoo nodded calmly.

“Then let’s prepare properly.”

⸻

Lisa stood again.

Her focus fully back now.

“…Let’s do it right.”

⸻

⸻

And just like that—

the house shifted again.

From everyday life…

to something larger.

⸻

Because tours didn’t just move cities.

They changed time.

And everyone inside that house was about to feel it again.

Here’s a 2-panel manhwa prompt designed for a novel-to-manhwa generator, with the same MC kept consistent across both panels:

> Create a 2-panel vertical full-color Korean action-fantasy manhwa scene. Keep the protagonist's appearance EXACTLY consistent between both panels.

MC character: A young adult male, pale skin, long messy black hair falling around his shoulders, sharp facial features, dark violet eyes, slender but athletic build. He is wearing extremely old, dirty, torn ragged clothing made from rough brown-gray fabric, with several visible tears and patches. He looks poor and exhausted but still has a naturally imposing presence.

PANEL 1 — Awakening:
Early morning inside a small, shabby wooden house. Warm golden sunlight 🌄 enters through a cracked wooden window, illuminating floating dust particles. The room is poor and nearly empty: an old wooden bed, a broken stool, a rough table, cracked walls, and a few worn-out objects. The MC suddenly wakes up on the thin bed, sitting upright with messy hair, looking around in complete confusion. His hands grip the dirty blanket as he tries to understand where he is. His expression is bewildered and cautious.
Camera: medium shot from the corner of the room, showing both the MC and the poor surroundings.

PANEL 2 — The System Appears:
A mysterious translucent blue holographic system interface suddenly materializes directly in front of the MC, illuminating his confused face with blue light. The interface contains clear futuristic text: [SYSTEM INITIALIZATION COMPLETE] and [HOST DETECTED]. The MC leans forward, staring intensely at the interface, his eyes widened in disbelief. His ragged clothes and the shabby room remain clearly visible. Morning sunlight continues streaming through the cracked window behind him, creating a contrast between the warm natural light and the cold blue glow of the system.

Art style: premium Korean action-fantasy manhwa, full-color webtoon, cinematic lighting, clean sharp linework, detailed facial expressions, realistic proportions, dramatic cel shading, atmospheric backgrounds, highly detailed environment, beautiful morning sunlight, subtle blue holographic effects, serious tone, immersive storytelling, professional manhwa panel composition.

Do not make it romantic, cute, chibi, comedic, or childish. No modern objects, no modern clothing, no futuristic room. Keep the protagonist's face, hair, body proportions, clothing and age identical in both panels.

Book 2 – Chapter 36: Operation Jisoo — Hyunjin’s Dramatic Disaster

After Han and Felix completed their missions…

Everyone thought Hyunjin would be the easiest.

⸻

They were completely wrong.

⸻

The Final Emergency Meeting

⸻

The dorm room was quiet.

Too quiet.

⸻

Felix sat on the couch.

Han was eating snacks.

⸻

Then…

The door opened dramatically.

⸻

Hyunjin walked in.

⸻

Slowly.

⸻

Very slowly.

⸻

Wearing sunglasses.

⸻

Everyone stared.

⸻

Han lowered his snack.

“What are you doing?”

⸻

Hyunjin removed the sunglasses.

⸻

“Preparing.”

⸻

“For what?”

⸻

“My greatest moment.”

⸻

Silence.

⸻

Felix blinked.

⸻

“You are asking Jisoo to the dance.”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“Not proposing.”

⸻

Hyunjin looked offended.

⸻

“I know.”

⸻

“Because you are acting like you’re proposing.”

⸻

Hyunjin ignored him.

⸻

“I need the perfect words.”

⸻

Han laughed.

⸻

“You mean a dramatic speech.”

⸻

“Exactly.”

⸻

Felix sighed.

⸻

“Oh no.”

⸻

⸻

The Speech Practice

⸻

Hyunjin stood in front of the mirror.

⸻

“Jisoo…”

⸻

He paused.

⸻

“When I first saw you—”

⸻

Han immediately stopped him.

⸻

“No.”

⸻

Hyunjin turned.

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“Too much.”

⸻

“But it’s meaningful.”

⸻

“It’s a dance invitation, not a movie ending.”

⸻

Hyunjin frowned.

⸻

“You’re ruining my art.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

⸻

“Your art is terrifying.”

⸻

Hyunjin tried again.

⸻

“Jisoo, you are the light that—”

⸻

“Stop.”

⸻

Felix covered his face.

⸻

“You can’t say ‘the light’ before asking someone to dance.”

⸻

“Why?”

⸻

“Because she might think you joined a poetry club.”

⸻

Han nodded.

⸻

“Or a drama competition.”

⸻

Hyunjin sighed.

⸻

“You two have no romance.”

⸻

⸻

Operation Begins

⸻

The next day…

Hyunjin found Jisoo in the garden.

⸻

Jisoo was sitting peacefully.

Her long blonde hair with lavender-pink tips moved softly in the breeze.

She wore a cream cardigan, a simple dress, and sneakers.

⸻

Hyunjin walked toward her.

⸻

Slowly.

⸻

Jisoo looked up.

⸻

“Why are you walking like you’re entering a stage?”

⸻

Hyunjin stopped.

⸻

“Do I do that?”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“Okay.”

⸻

He sat down.

⸻

Jisoo smiled.

⸻

“Are you okay?”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“You look nervous.”

⸻

“I am not.”

⸻

“You are.”

⸻

Hyunjin sighed.

⸻

“Why is everyone so good at noticing things?”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

⸻

⸻

The Actual Question

⸻

Hyunjin took a breath.

⸻

“Jisoo.”

⸻

She looked at him.

⸻

“I wanted to ask…”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

Han’s voice appeared in his head:

“Don’t make it a movie.”

⸻

Felix’s voice:

“Don’t say ‘light.’”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“Would you go to the dance with me?”

⸻

Simple.

⸻

Normal.

⸻

Jisoo blinked.

⸻

Then smiled.

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

Hyunjin froze.

⸻

“Wait.”

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“That’s it?”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

⸻

“What did you expect?”

⸻

“I don’t know.”

⸻

“You looked like you were about to give a speech.”

⸻

Hyunjin looked away.

⸻

“I prepared one.”

⸻

Jisoo smiled.

⸻

“Of course you did.”

⸻

⸻

Back at the Dorm

⸻

Hyunjin walked in.

⸻

Felix and Han looked up.

⸻

“Well?”

⸻

Hyunjin stood silently.

⸻

Then…

⸻

He dramatically fell onto the couch.

⸻

“I succeeded.”

⸻

Han laughed.

⸻

“Did you survive?”

⸻

“Barely.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

⸻

“Did you say the speech?”

⸻

Hyunjin looked offended.

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Good.”

⸻

“Why?”

⸻

“Because it would have taken an hour.”

⸻

Hyunjin crossed his arms.

⸻

“It was beautiful.”

⸻

Han nodded.

⸻

“I’m sure it was.”

⸻

“You’re mocking me.”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Three missions.

⸻

Three successes.

⸻

Han and Rosé.

Felix and Jennie.

Hyunjin and Jisoo.

⸻

Now only one thing remained…

⸻

The college dance.

⸻

And everyone knew…

With Jennie as the DJ…

It was going to be unforgettable.
Photo 1 is laying in a luxury bedroom with black furniture. 
Photo 1 is doing and loos exactly like photo 4. 
Photo 1 then thinks about what he seen earlier that morning at school when he was in the backseat riding in his luxury car. 

Photo 1 had seen photo 2 wearing the outfit in photo 3 and was mesmerized by her beauty. 

Photo 1 then opens his eyes and thinks “ I have to find you and make you mine, no matter what. You are mine.” with a very serious and intimidating look on his face.
Photo 1 is wearing the outfit in photo 2. 
Photo 1 is laying on a bed in a bedroom decorated for a girl. 

Photo 1 is scrolling on intstagram.
Photo 1 then gets a new follower notification from photo 3 with the profile name “Taeha Beom”.

Photo 1 then looks at the profile of photo 3. 
(Panel shows close up of the phone. The profile show photos of photo 3 in places like dark living rooms, it shows food and it all his photos he is wearing a black suit. 

Photo 1 thinks “Seems like black is his favorite color”

Photo 1 then sends a message to photo 3 that says “ Hey 👋🏻 “ 

Panel cuts to photo 3 sitting in the living of a luxury apartment with black furniture. 
Photo 3 is wearing a black t-shirt, grey pants and black socks.

Photo 3 is smirking handsomely. 
Photo 3 then replies “Hey 👋🏻”
The house woke up slowly.

No alarms. No staff. No schedule reminders buzzing in the background.

Just sunlight spilling across wooden floors like it had nowhere else to be.

⸻

BLACKPINK had agreed on something rare the night before:

A weekend with nothing planned.

Not rehearsals. Not meetings. Not appearances.

Just… time.

⸻

Jisoo was already awake, naturally.

Her dark wavy hair was loosely tied back, a soft cream sweater resting over relaxed lounge pants. She stood in the kitchen quietly, making tea with the calm precision of someone who didn’t need noise to feel awake.

The house always felt “started” when Jisoo was up first.

⸻

Jennie came in later, hair slightly messy, oversized shirt hanging off one shoulder, still half in sleep mode.

She looked at the kettle.

“…Is it too early to be alive?”

⸻

Jisoo didn’t turn.

“Yes.”

⸻

Jennie nodded.

“Good. We agree.”

⸻

⸻

Rosé arrived quietly after, blonde hair tied loosely, soft cardigan wrapped around her like comfort itself.

She paused in the doorway.

“It smells like peace,” she said.

⸻

Jennie pointed at the kettle.

“That’s just tea.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

“It’s still peace.”

⸻

⸻

Then—

fast footsteps.

⸻

Lisa entered the kitchen from the hallway, brown hair tied in a loose bun, hoodie slightly oversized, sweatpants soft and unstyled.

No stage version of her.

No work version.

Just morning Lisa.

⸻

Behind her—

Noah (now a 5-year-old boy) ran in first, socks sliding slightly on the floor.

“I DECLARE THIS WEEKEND OFFICIAL FUN TIME,” he announced loudly.

⸻

Ari followed more carefully, pastel hoodie slightly oversized, hair neatly tied but already loosening.

“That’s not how weekends work,” she said calmly.

⸻

Noah pointed at her.

“It is if I say it loudly enough.”

⸻

Lisa sighed as she reached for a cup.

“That’s also not how reality works.”

⸻

Noah considered this.

“…Reality is negotiable.”

⸻

Jennie looked at Lisa.

“He’s becoming a problem.”

⸻

Lisa nodded.

“He’s been one.”

⸻

Noah smiled proudly.

“I am consistent.”

⸻

⸻

The living room filled slowly.

Blankets appeared.

Coffee cups moved around.

People migrated like the house was pulling them into comfort.

⸻

Jisoo sat first, cross-legged on the couch, posture relaxed, watching everything like she was already enjoying the quiet unfolding.

Jennie lay back fully on the sofa, arms spread.

“I refuse to move for at least six hours.”

⸻

Rosé curled into the armchair near the window, blonde hair glowing in morning light.

“I might read something,” she said softly.

⸻

Lisa sat on the floor, leaning against the couch, brown hair falling slightly over her face as she sipped her drink.

Ari sat beside her immediately.

Noah flopped down dramatically between Jennie and Lisa.

⸻

Silence settled.

Not awkward.

Not empty.

Just shared.

⸻

Noah broke it first.

“Do famous people also do nothing?”

⸻

Jennie lifted one hand.

“We are doing it right now.”

⸻

Noah looked around.

“…We are very good at it.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

“It takes practice.”

⸻

Jisoo added gently.

“It takes permission.”

⸻

Lisa leaned her head back slightly.

“…It takes exhaustion.”

⸻

That made Jennie laugh.

⸻

Ari leaned into Lisa.

“This is my favorite kind of day.”

⸻

Lisa looked down at her.

“Why?”

⸻

Ari shrugged.

“Nothing is trying to win.”

⸻

Silence again.

But softer this time.

⸻

Noah rolled onto his side.

“I think the house likes us today.”

⸻

Rosé nodded gently.

“It always does.”

⸻

Jisoo looked around.

“It just waits for us to stop rushing.”

⸻

Jennie closed her eyes.

“…Then we should stop more often.”

⸻

Lisa exhaled quietly.

For once—

there was nothing pulling her away from the moment.

⸻

Just the four of them.

A child’s voice. A quiet laugh. A blonde head by the window. A steady presence in the kitchen. And a house that didn’t ask for anything in return.

⸻

Just a weekend.

Not scheduled.

Not earned.

⸻

Just lived.

Chapter 17 – The Festival Countdown

The school festival was only three days away.

And somehow…

Everything was becoming more chaotic.

⸻

The biggest problem?

Everyone had discovered Jennie’s new blonde hair.

And they were not letting it go.

⸻

Jennie walked through the school hallway.

Her blonde hair fell in soft waves around her face, looking completely different from her old black hair. She wore a black leather jacket over a graphic shirt, baggy cargo pants, black boots, and her silver headphones around her neck.

She was still Jennie.

Still confident.

Still impossible to embarrass.

At least…

That was what she thought.

⸻

“BLONDE JENNIE!”

Han shouted from across the hallway.

Everyone turned.

Jennie stopped walking.

Slowly…

She looked at him.

“Do you want to survive today?”

Han froze.

His messy brown hair stuck up, and he wore his oversized green hoodie, black jeans, and white sneakers.

“I was just appreciating the new look.”

“You were yelling.”

“Appreciating loudly.”

⸻

Lisa laughed.

Her ash-blonde hair with bangs framed her face, and she wore her black bomber jacket, cargo pants, and colorful sneakers.

“I think Han likes the new hair more than you do.”

Han nodded.

“It’s iconic.”

Jennie rolled her eyes.

“You all are dramatic.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

Her lavender hair fell over her oversized cardigan. She wore ripped jeans and white boots.

“You’re secretly happy everyone likes it.”

“No.”

“Yes.”

“No.”

“Your face says yes.”

Jennie immediately covered her expression.

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Then Felix walked in.

His soft black hair was slightly messy, and he wore his black varsity jacket, white T-shirt, athletic pants, and basketball sneakers.

He stopped when he saw Jennie.

Not because he hadn’t seen the blonde hair before.

But because every time he saw it…

It surprised him.

⸻

Jennie noticed.

“What?”

Felix blinked.

“Nothing.”

“You stared.”

“I did not.”

“You did.”

Han whispered:

“He definitely did.”

⸻

Felix ignored him.

“It just looks different.”

Jennie crossed her arms.

“Is that good or bad?”

Felix thought.

“Good.”

A small smile appeared.

“Really good.”

⸻

The hallway immediately exploded.

Lisa covered her mouth.

Rosé laughed.

Han looked shocked.

“He said it again.”

⸻

Jennie looked at Felix.

“You know…”

“What?”

“You’re getting suspiciously nice.”

Felix smiled.

“Maybe you’re getting used to it.”

She opened her mouth.

Then closed it.

Because she had no comeback.

⸻

Later that day…

The festival team met in the gym.

The stage lights were being tested.

The music equipment was being set up.

And Jennie and Felix were in charge.

⸻

Felix practiced his basketball performance.

Jennie worked on the music.

The two of them somehow worked perfectly together.

Which annoyed them both.

⸻

Felix looked over.

“You’re good at this.”

Jennie glanced up.

“At what?”

“Making everything come together.”

She shrugged.

“It’s what I do.”

“No.”

He shook his head.

“It’s more than that.”

Jennie paused.

Because Felix wasn’t joking.

⸻

Before she could respond…

The speakers suddenly blasted music.

Everyone jumped.

Han covered his ears.

“JENNIE!”

“What?”

“You almost destroyed my hearing.”

“You’re welcome.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

And Jennie smiled.

⸻

From across the gym…

Lisa watched them.

“They’re getting worse.”

Rosé nodded.

“Definitely.”

Jisoo smiled.

“But in a good way.”

Hyunjin placed a hand over his heart.

“The festival will reveal everything.”

Han sighed.

“It’s literally just a school event.”

⸻

But none of them knew…

The festival wasn’t just going to be about music.

Or basketball.

Or performances.

Because something was about to happen…

That would change the way everyone saw Jennie and Felix.

Chapter 15 – The School Festival Disaster

The rumor was supposed to disappear.

That was the plan.

Unfortunately…

The school had other plans.

⸻

The next morning, the hallway was covered with posters.

ANNUAL SCHOOL FESTIVAL – THIS FRIDAY

Everyone was excited.

Everyone except Jennie.

⸻

Jennie walked through the hallway with her usual cool attitude.

Her long black hair with soft curtain bangs framed her face. She wore a black cropped jacket over a graphic shirt, baggy cargo pants, black-and-white sneakers, and her silver headphones around her neck.

She looked at the festival posters.

“No.”

⸻

Lisa looked confused.

Her long ash-blonde hair with bangs framed her face, and she wore a black bomber jacket, cargo pants, and colorful sneakers.

“No what?”

“No festival.”

Lisa blinked.

“It’s one of the biggest events of the year.”

“Exactly.”

“So?”

“So everyone will be annoying.”

⸻

Han walked over.

His messy brown hair was sticking up, and he wore an oversized green hoodie, black jeans, and white sneakers.

“Correction.”

Everyone looked at him.

“Everyone will be annoying except me.”

Jennie stared.

“Especially you.”

Han looked offended.

“Wow.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

Her long lavender hair fell over her shoulders, and she wore an oversized cardigan, ripped jeans, and white boots.

“You know you’ll have fun.”

“No.”

“You always say no.”

“And I’m always right.”

⸻

Jisoo smiled.

Her long dark red hair rested neatly over one shoulder. She wore a cream sweater, black pants, and ankle boots.

“You’re going to participate.”

Jennie looked shocked.

“Why does everyone think that?”

“Because we know you.”

⸻

Then Felix walked in.

His soft black hair was slightly messy, and he wore his black varsity jacket, white T-shirt, black athletic pants, and basketball sneakers.

He looked at the poster.

“Festival?”

Jennie immediately pointed.

“No.”

Felix smiled.

“You didn’t even let me speak.”

“I know what you’re going to say.”

“What?”

“You’re going to say basketball.”

Felix paused.

“…I was.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Later that day, the teacher announced the festival assignments.

“Every group will prepare an activity.”

The class became excited.

Then the teacher read:

“Jennie and Felix will lead the main stage performance.”

Silence.

⸻

Jennie:

“No.”

Felix:

“Wait, what?”

⸻

Han immediately started laughing.

“Oh, this is perfect.”

Lisa smiled.

“The universe is forcing them.”

⸻

Felix looked at Jennie.

“So…”

“No.”

“You don’t even know what I was going to say.”

“I know.”

“You’re impossible.”

“And you’re too confident.”

⸻

The problem was…

They were actually a great team.

Felix handled the crowd.

Jennie handled the music.

Together…

They made the entire performance idea better than anyone expected.

⸻

After school, they stayed behind to practice.

The gym was empty.

Jennie connected her DJ equipment.

Felix practiced his part.

For once…

They weren’t fighting.

⸻

Felix looked over.

“You know…”

“What?”

“You’re really good at this.”

Jennie looked suspicious.

“Are you complimenting me?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s true.”

She looked away.

“That’s weird.”

“You don’t like compliments?”

“I don’t know what to do with them.”

Felix laughed.

“That explains a lot.”

⸻

Jennie smiled.

Then immediately pointed at him.

“Don’t get comfortable.”

“There she is.”

⸻

From outside the gym door…

Han, Lisa, Rosé, Jisoo, and Hyunjin were watching.

Han whispered:

“They’re literally acting like a couple.”

Lisa smiled.

“But they’ll deny it.”

Hyunjin placed a hand over his heart.

“The slow burn continues.”

Jisoo sighed.

“It’s a school festival, not a drama.”

⸻

Inside…

Jennie and Felix continued practicing.

Still teasing.

Still competing.

Still pretending they didn’t care.

But everyone else knew…

The festival wasn’t going to be the only thing happening that week.
