Magic Scholar

Magic Scholar

The popular martial arts webtoon ,Magic Scholar, follows the story of a demon prince named Certan who was sealed within an octagonal tablet long ago.

By chance, Certan’s tablet ended up in the possession of a young boy named Go Jinyoung. Excited by the prospect of causing mischief in the human world with magic

Certan convinces Jinyoung to break the seal on his tablet

allowing the demon prince’s soul to escape.

Transitioning from a martial arts novel to a webtoon allows Magic Scholar’s story to come alive with visuals. The vibrant artwork brings the magic and action in the story to the forefront, creating an immersive experience for readers. As a webtoon, Magic Scholar is able to employ dramatic camera angles and dynamic panels to emphasize intense scenes in a way that complements the fantastical elements of the story.

The visual nature of the webtoon medium suits Magic Scholar perfectly. Epic battles between skilled martial artists and magic users fighting with supernatural powers translate wonderfully into visuals. Dangerous creatures and magic spells come to life on the screen. The webtoon’s visuals do justice to the imaginative spirit of the original light novel.

While the original novel focused primarily on the journey of Certan and Jinyoung to become stronger and accomplish their goal of conquering the martial world, the webtoon adaptation expands on their adventures. Additional details and plot points enable the webtoon to flesh out side characters and subplots. Readers can appreciate layers of depth and complexity that build upon the foundation of the novel. Magic Scholar’s evolution from novel to webtoon has enhanced the story in every aspect.
