With more readers than ever reading comics and Webtoons (aka Vertical Scroll Comics), Beat’s “Singular Adventure” has a weekly chance to recommend some of its favorite books and series from Japan, Korea and elsewhere. This week, we hosted a comic in the Webtoon 2025 competition, another comic that entered Omegaverse, and died again.
The Pioneer’s Song
Writer/Artist: Ronroncora, IT, Bengel
platform: Webtoon
The Webtoon 2025 competition officially began on March 10. From action comics to fantasy, romance and comedy, the upcoming artist tells a variety of stories, as well as returning to the web creators. Today’s function was caused by what I used to do in this column: Cola or pur.
Her new comics, The Pioneer’s Songcreated in collaboration with two other artists it and Forward Bengal. Cora is responsible for plot boards and thumbnails, while Het and Bengel are responsible for ink and color. The end result has the best display artist.
The series introduces Marcel, a tired and overworked maintenance worker at We.gates, a cross-million portal between companies from reality to other reality. He worked lonely until he was suddenly assigned to his new partner. This partner Pallavine is a We gates worker from another reality, or (Marcel prefers to call them Nepo Baby). The two of them head to other reality together and check if the conditions are suitable for organic life.
Cora, Het and Bengel’s art combine anime-style character design with unique character outlines to suit creatures and creatures of all dimensions. Line art and color perfectly match. Bright cyan and white rim lights suggest depth and size. Paneling and layout are for vertical scrolling formats first, first of all, large panels viewed on mobile devices rather than on PC.
As of writing, the first episode of this series was released on Webtoon Canvas in the 2025 contest. The remaining plot is scheduled to be released weekly until the submission period ends on May 15. So far, this is a refreshing collection with unique visuals and hooks. Meanwhile, I have my own contest submission to be completed before the end of this month. – Justin Guerrero

In a world where most people mistakenly assume that your biological gender determines your social status and self-worth, Megumi and Tsugumi are outliers. Tsugumi is an Omega that is firmly loyal to itself, not being used by Scumbag Alpha. Megumi, on the other hand, gained all the privileges Alpha has: wealthy parents, an elite school, good grades. He is sure not to take advantage of Omegas like his father did to his biological mother. Then there is the fight of misunderstanding and fate, coupled with Tsugumi’s irregular heat, which unexpectedly blends the two of them together. Join our crime duo as they sail on youth and hormones!
Nowadays, most people are familiar with the Alpha/Beta/Omega terminology. exist Megumi & Tsugumi However, Omega is a context of alternative reality in which roles are assigned secondary, rather than biological gender. What follows is the stage of caloricity, where pheromones start to work and affect Alpha and Omegas. This alternative universe will be diverse in every new work.
Megumi & Tsugumi It’s a fun, vibrant and respectful sight for the Omegaverse subgenre. They are a lively and very cute when the characters stumble here and there and do suspicious things.
The series strikes a good balance between sweet and dirty chapters. We start from Volume 1 to understand each character and its motivations, family and their respective dynamics. The series is still underway in Japan and the United States, with five volumes in English. Therefore readers can look forward to the journey!
A volume series is great because readers don’t have to wait for the next one to figure out what will happen next. Facing reality, these cliffs must be illegal in at least one country. These books are easy to take this opportunity to invest. As a boy’s love fan, I’m grateful that Sublime has obtained a long-lasting BL series license. The opportunity to experience life through characters who follow their relationships for a long time is invaluable.
Have you read it? Bad boy,,,,, Happy home,,,,, Simplified perverted romance,,,,, I’ll make you cryor Iberico Pork, Love and Camellia? Are you a fan of teenagers operating on a single brain cell like me? Are you looking for an interesting, steaming, uncensored BL comic? Don’t look again. – Merve Giray
Hiraeth – The End of the Journey –

Mika wants to see her dead friend Mitsuha for the last time. Cibino wants to die after centuries of immortality. The almost forgotten nameless god is on the verge of collapse. So the three of them head to Yomotsu Hirasaka in Westman County, where they will enter Yomi, the land of the dead.
Today, comics about death and impermanence are a dime, perhaps because over the past few years we have experienced a pandemic, at least one genocide and violence caused by the global fascist government. Hiraeth – The End of the Journey – Covering the ground has passed Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou and Freeze: At the end of the journey. However, none of these series were drawn by Yuhki Kamatani. eager Yes, it’s worth reading.
Kamatani has a trick for making visual metaphors that can jump off the page. From flowers and vines bound to Mika’s body to the “road of death”, these paths lay the lives of each character on the page as a panel chain towards their demise, transforming abstract topics into sensations that burn your gut. Kamatani also needs to pay attention to roles at different stages of life: suicide teenagers, end patients, and older people. No one is considered “default”.
It’s also interesting to see how Kamatani reshapes Japanese mythology. The nameless god shifts between short and long hair forms, reminding me of the Anonymous of Camatani’s masterpiece Our dreams at dusk. The three-armed crow Yatagarasu appeared, as did Bakotsu (skeleton horse). I especially liked the last trip to Yomi, which left enough unexplainable that it lingers in memory rather than appearing like a PAT.
eager There may not be much new things to say about death. But it does have something to say about life, and the feeling of staying lasting when so many uncertainties in the world are there. The most affected scene in the final chapter is far from anything mysterious and supports the biological reality: each of us only has a lot of time. – Adam Westcott
