Completed Boss and Employee BL Manhwas (Official English Comics)

Looking for the best boss and employee BL manhwas to dive into? Workplace-romance BL series have become one of the most addictive subgenres in manhwa, especially when they feature the irresistible dynamic between a strict boss and their unsuspecting employee. Whether it’s a cold CEO falling for his secretary, a clueless manager crushing on his staff, or two coworkers navigating forbidden tension, these boss and employee BL manhwas deliver drama, fluff, angst, and plenty of slow-burn chemistry. Below is a curated list of the most popular and well-loved titles that perfectly capture the thrill of mixing business with pleasure.

HOLD ME TIGHT

Writer: NABIT | Artist: SIREU

Starting this list not with a secretary or an entry-level employee, but with a personal bodyguard. This manhwa is an action romance that uses a specific supernatural concept to bring the two main characters together. Well, that and some blackmailing. Asides from being cute, funny and intriguing; the pacing, as well as the story telling, is well executed.

This comic is available on Tapas.

THE UNQUENCHABLE MR. KIM

Creator: Morak

Making use of the concept of vampires, The Unquenchable Mr. Kim is a very popular sci-fi BL manhwa. Asides from the enthralling story, this series is best known for its drastic change of art style; making the characters prettier and prettier as time goes by. It has a lot of love and a lot of sweetness, but it still lies heavily on the sexy side, with loads of scenes that will make you melt!

This comic is available on Tapas.

MY SUHA

Creator: Chahyun

This one is definitely for a more mature audience because Suha’s character (his past especially) is a bit more out there than most MCs. Our great secretary is not only skilled at work. And with that said, you can expect this hot series to be all kinds of sexy.

This comic is available on Lezhin.

THE NEW RECRUIT

Creator: Zec

From the creator of the well-received manhwa “Lover Boy”, The New Recruit is also making big waves and has been getting a lot of love in all platforms. With Zec’s impeccable art style, character depth and attention to realism, we highly recommend everyone to read this sweet and warm series.

This comic is available on Lezhin and Manta.

KISS ME, LIAR

Creator: Zig

No new employees, just an alpha boss and his long-term secretary [who happens to be an omega]. Yes, it’s an omegaverse series. Yes, you can look forward to babies. But be warned; it is a lot more intense than you think. This series is definitely not all rainbows and butterflies. It’s a whole lot of sexy though.

This comic is available on Tappytoon. and Tapas.

MY PURRFECT BOSS

Creator: Cuke Soap

This one is easily part of the Fluff Hall of Fame. There is so much cuteness in this manhwa, and let’s not forget about all the love. And it’s not every day that you get to see an adorable boss who you can’t help but want to protect. And yes, the cat ears are not costumes, they are real.

This comic is available on Lezhin.

WALK ON WATER

Creator: JAXX

Nobody does buff x buff couples like JAXX does. Having two hunks in one manhwa is a true blessing in this world! And with “Walk on Water” jumping into the stigmatized world of porn, this series is very much unique and impressive.

This comic is available on Lezhin and Tapas.

DON’T GET ME WRONG, BOSS!

Creators: Gangto | Lime

Adorable art style with charming characters and a hilarious misunderstanding make this manhwa a very fun and hearty series. An excellent choice for those who wish to read something more light and funny with a lot of sweet moments in between.

This comic is available on Lezhin and Tapas.

PLEASURE PRINCIPLE

Creators: Shanghai Green Tea | Cereal

This one definitely lies more on the sexy side of this list and would greatly appeal to those who enjoy scenes with toys and dress-ups. It’s a quick read that is light and easy to follow. And in its own way, a relatively sweet series.

A guy who always ends up dating jerks finds his new boss to be exactly his type. However, it turns out they go way back. Eunkyum’s past is now coming to bite him in the ass.

This comic is available on Lezhin.

BL MOTEL

Creator: Uhrin

The new manager of a motel changes the name of the establishment to ‘BL Motel‘ not knowing what the abbreviation means. Meanwhile, a new employee comes in with the hopes of learning more about boys love. Whatever the case may be, this misunderstanding led to something beautiful.

This comic is available on Lezhin.

PIAN PIAN

Creator: HAESIN

In a world where soulmates have each other’s initials placed somewhere on their bodies, some wait for their other halves while others choose to be free. And in this manhwa, we follow the story of two chefs who may or may not be destined for each other.

This comic is available on Lezhin.

UNDERCOVER PARTNERS

Creators: JayJay | Otae | Luvloo

Here we are referring to the first season of this manhwa, wherein a managing director of a huge company decides to hire a money launder by means of… well, kidnapping. Anyways, the great thing about this series is our straight man is not homophobic and instead of pushing his desires or blaming it on others, he chooses to be open-minded and goes out of his way to figure out his feelings himself.

This comic is available on Tapas.

VARGOTH’S MAGICAL TOYS

Creator: Sodapie

Usually, when the main characters have childhood backstories, they tend to be on the fluff side of BL, but not this one. This one is surprisingly kinky. It also dives into a fantasy sub-genre that involves magic, potions and other worlds (which you probably already guessed from the title).

This comic is available on Lezhin.

If you love boss and employee BL manhwas, this list is for you. With workplace romances continuing to dominate the BL scene, these stories explore power dynamics, office tension, emotional growth, and the undeniable spark between bosses and their employees.

BL Manhwas Similar To Low Tide in Twilight (Official English Comics)

Did you just finish reading “Low Tide in Twilight” and can’t seem to get over it just yet so you’re out here looking for other similar manhwas? No worries, we’ve all been there. After all, LTiT is such a worthwhile read. With that said, here’s a list of BL manhwas similar to Low Tide in Twilight. Although they may not be the exact same as LTiT, these are still worth jumping into as they have one or more similarities.

Paws & Claws

This manhwa has a pretty similar concept to Low Tide in Twilight. The MC is a tsundere fighter dog barely scraping by in a difficult work environment while the ML is a rich ruffian/mad wolf who spoils the MC rotten. And all this despite the fierce puppy literally biting this love-blind wolf every chance the pup gets. The ML here shares the same crazy, obsessed, loving personality as Taeju in LTiT, while the MC here shares the same attack-mode energy as Euihyun (LTiT).

This series is available on Lezhin.

XXX Buddy / Perfect Buddy

Although not about thugs and debts, the couple dynamic in this one is quite similar to LTiT; big energy top and tsundere bottom. This manhwa is the epitome of the ‘enemies to lovers’ trope and includes the ‘power bottom’ concept. If you’re a fan of catfights that turn into big romances like “Low Tide in Twilight”, you’ll probably enjoy this one.

This series is available on Tappytoon.

Dear Benjamin

Please keep in mind that the controversy surrounding this one involves the first artist who has since been replaced. The original writer and story (novel) are not involved in the controversy and are thus worth supporting.
The ML in this comic is very similar to that of LTiT in the sense that they’re both funnily ridiculous and obsessed with their fierce, headstrong omegas. Also, they’re both omegaverse manhwas with adorable children. This is probably the most similar manhwa to “Low Tide in Twilight”.

This series is available on Tappytoon.

Roses and Champagne

Adding to the mafia boss x power bottom concept, the ever-popular Roses and Champagne manhwa joins the list. The MC here is as headstrong as Euihyun, and although the ML doesn’t share the same ridiculousness as Taeju, they definitely share the same obsessiveness for their partners.

This series is available on Lezhin.

Mr. 100% Perfect (2nd Couple)

The second couple of this series have similar vibes to our beloved LTiT couple. Spoiled rich-kid top meets hard-working bottom who’s been through rock bottom. He falls for him hard and becomes a clingy, obsessive mess who changes his ways to earn his place next to him.

This series is available on Tapas.

Mayday Mayday Mayday!

Although the ML here isn’t the same type of thug as Taeju, he’s still a powerful Mafia boss who’s very much obsessed with the capable MC. Although the MC here doesn’t have the same spunk as Euihyun, he’s got guts for doing sketchy work for one of the most dangerous people in the world, treading carefully not to let this mafia boss catch on to his sexual orientation otherwise he’ll be devoured by this dangerous man who looks at him with lustful eyes.

This series is available on Lezhin.

Assorted Wildness

One could argue that this one is a tad more wild than LTiT, but they have their similarities. If in LTiT, they’re after Euihyun’s dad, here they’re after the MC’s sister and using him as collateral. The handsome big boss ML might not share Taeju’s madness, but the MC sure does. He’s one of the wildest MCs you’ll probably ever see.

This series is available on Tapas.

Yakuza in Love

Although the character dynamics aren’t really the same as LTiT, the concept is close enough. Yakuza boss meets a big-personality Korean cutie and they raise a kid together. If you loved Euihyun’s adorable little brother, Euiyoung, you’ll probably love Toma here.

This series is available on Lezhin.

Tiger’s Den

An omegaverse where the eccentric big boss ML falls head over heels for the omega carrying his child as a surrogate. The MC may not be as strong-willed as Euihyun, but he knows how to stand his ground and whip his silly little lovestruck ML around.

This series is available on Tapas.

Pearl Boy

Finally, the manhwa that was at the very top when it was still ongoing, Pearl Boy and LTiT share several similarities, most especially with their personalities. Dooshik and Taeju, being the kind of gangsters they are, would definitely be best buds who hang out by beating people up and then having a contest to see who can better show off their lovers.

This series is available on Lezhin.

I hope this list of similar manhwas can give you the fix you need after reading “Low Tide in Twilight”. And if not, there’s no rule that says you can’t reread LTiT over and over until you finally get it out of your system. I know I’ll be jumping into it again and again every now and then.

BL Manhwa Couples With Big Age Gaps (Official English Comics)
Age-gap romance has always had a special place in the BL world, and BL manhwa couples with big age gaps hit differently.

If you love BL where romance unfolds between partners at different stages of life, this list is for you. And as always, please read on legal platforms so creators get the support they deserve.

ON OR OFF

Creator: A1

This office romance is a fan-favorite for a reason. Ahn, a hardworking college senior in his twenties, ends up pitching a project to Director Kang – a polished, stoic man in his mid-thirties with an intimidating aura. Despite the age gap and workplace hierarchy, the chemistry is instant and undeniable. Their story explores professional respect, growing trust, and a surprising amount of tenderness behind closed doors.

DANGEROUS CONVENIENCE STORE

Creator: 945

Eui-joon is a broke college student who takes a part-time job at a sketchy convenience store known for attracting gang members. That’s where he meets Gunwoo, a rugged ahjussi in his late thirties. Although their first interactions are tense (and a little terrifying), their age gap becomes part of the charm as Gunwoo slowly warms up and reveals a more protective, caring side. A mix of humor, danger, and quiet affection.

Available on: Lezhin

LOVER BOY

Creator: Zec

Eunho and Jaeha’s story spans years – they first met as children with a noticeable age gap between them. As adults, Eunho returns, no longer the little kid Jaeha remembers. The shift from childhood familiarity to adult attraction adds tension, awkwardness, and sweetness as Jaeha slowly learns to see Eunho as a grown, capable partner. A beautifully mature take on a tricky age-gap dynamic.

Available on: Lezhin

THE NEW RECRUIT

Creator: Zec

A new intern joins an advertising team led by a wildly competent (and extremely attractive) section chief in his mid-thirties.

DON’T GET ME WRONG, BOSS!

Creator: Gangto

MY HOUSEMATE

Creator: Snob

Gyungha, a spoiled chaebol who just turned twenty, suddenly gains a new family “helper,” Jinwon – a man quietly approaching thirty.

Available on: Lezhin

ANGEL BUDDY

Creators: MasterGin, Chungnyun

This one takes the age-gap trope to a whole new level — Taker is an ancient celestial being who has existed far longer than Suho has been alive. Their supernatural age gap emphasizes compassion, dependence, and destiny in a unique fantasy romance that balances comedy with heartfelt moments.

Available on: Lezhin

THE IDEAL RELATIONSHIP

Creators: Antstudio, KEN

Why the Solo Leveling Webtoon Is Better Than the Anime
Solo Leveling is undeniably one of the most popular and influential webtoons ever created. With the anime adaptation returning for new seasons, debates are resurfacing everywhere. And with renewed hype comes fresh waves of criticism and comparison. If you watched the anime or read the novel and wondered, “Why don’t I get the hype?” or “Why does everyone say the webtoon is peak?”, here’s the quick reason: the Solo Leveling Webtoon Is Better Than the Anime.

Many people forget a crucial point:
Solo Leveling became iconic because of the webtoon. Not the novel, and not automatically because of the anime.

The original story is a South Korean webnovel by Chugong. While the novel is solid, it was never considered among the most legendary Korean webnovels. The explosion in popularity came because the webtoon adaptation was visually groundbreaking, not because the original novel was unbeatable.

This context is important when discussing why the Solo Leveling webtoon is better than the anime.

Why the Webtoon Blew Up

Solo Leveling became a staple starter recommendation because it was one of the first webtoons with high-budget, scroll-optimized, cinematic art. Today, many series have top-tier visuals, but back when Solo Leveling dropped, this level of art was extremely rare.

Most webtoons were made by small teams or solo creators. Then came REDICE Studio, the powerhouse that redefined the visual standard of modern manhwa. Their dynamic action, polished designs, and 3D-assisted environments made Solo Leveling stand out instantly.

Those long vertical scroll panels
The massive battlefield spreads
The sweeping dungeon reveals
The dramatic shadow army entrances

They weren’t just cool, they were revolutionary.

This is the foundation of why the Solo Leveling webtoon is better than the anime for many fans. The webtoon format let the story shine in ways animation struggles to replicate.

The REDICE Effect: The Art That Made the Series Iconic

REDICE Studio is one of the most influential names in the manhwa industry. Their portfolio includes hits such as:
- I’m the Max-Level Newbie
- The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero
- Ranker’s Return
- The Twins’ New Life
- What It Takes to Be a Villainess
- Lady Evony
And their masterpiece: Omniscient Reader.

REDICE adapted Solo Leveling before ORV. By the time they worked on ORV, their artistic polish had reached new heights, but even Solo Leveling showed their signature strengths: strong lighting, dynamic posing, expressive characters, and cinematic paneling.

When the webtoon released, readers immediately noticed. The art wasn’t just good, it felt like an event.

Long Vertical Panels

Solo Leveling mastered the use of vertical composition to:
- build scale
- create tension
- enhance reveals
- showcase movement
- highlight Jinwoo’s transformations
Every time the shadow army appeared in a massive vertical spread, the internet went wild.

solo leveling long scroll

Characters and Creatures

From Jinwoo’s expressions to the fluid action choreography, REDICE elevated every moment. Even the shadows had personality. Fan favorites like Igris gained iconic status because of how well they were illustrated.

And the webtoon’s legendary artist, DUBU (Jang Sung-rak), may he rest in peace, left a legacy that continues to influence the medium today.

The Webtoon Isn’t Perfect, but It’s Visually Unmatched

The story of Solo Leveling is not flawless:
- The female lead is introduced as powerful but often sidelined.
- The romance is shallow.
- Several plot threads are left underdeveloped.
- The deeper thematic elements take a backseat to action.
Yet none of these flaws stopped its rise, because the visual experience carried it to greatness.

This leads to another key point in understanding why the Solo Leveling webtoon is better than the anime:
the story hits harder when supported by strong visual direction. The webtoon’s pacing, framing, and buildup were tailored specifically to maximize hype in scroll format.

Can the Anime Match That Impact?

This is where expectations become complicated.

The anime industry today is flooded with:
- high-budget productions
- advanced CGI
- dynamic choreography
- visually competitive series in every genre
Meanwhile, when Solo Leveling released as a webtoon, its competition was far weaker. The art gap between Solo Leveling and other webtoons felt massive.

The anime adaptation, however, enters a saturated landscape where many shows already look incredible. This makes it harder for Solo Leveling to stand out visually in the same way.

Other factors also affect the reception:
- The pacing differs from the webtoon
- Scroll-based reveals can’t be replicated 1:1
- Some scenes lose impact when re-framed for animation
- The anime has not yet reached its most hype arcs
- Fans already know what to expect, reducing novelty
Can the anime eventually peak? Yes.
Will it ever hit the same cultural impact the webtoon had? Much harder to achieve.

This is at the core of why the Solo Leveling webtoon is better than the anime – the timing, the format, and the artistic innovation aligned perfectly for the webtoon in a way the anime cannot replicate.

If You Want the Best Solo Leveling Experience: Read the Webtoon

If you want the true, visually explosive experience that made Solo Leveling a global phenomenon, the webtoon is where it shines the brightest.

You can support the creators legally on:
- Tappytoon
- Manta
- Tapas
The webtoon version is the one that earned its GOAT status.

Final Thoughts: Enjoy Each Version for What It Is

There’s no need to judge the anime as if it should surpass every modern masterpiece. And there’s no need to compare it to the webtoon as if they were meant to function the same way.

Some people will prefer the animation.
Some will always favor the webtoon.

Both are valid.

But if you truly want to understand why Solo Leveling took over the world, and why many fans argue the Solo Leveling webtoon is better than the anime, then the webtoon is the version that defined its legacy.

Enjoy whichever version makes you happy, but don’t skip the webtoon if you want the full experience.
