A perfect read-alike for series like ORANGE and I WANT TO EAT YOUR PANCREAS. Thoroughly engaging story & beautiful artwork, I'd highly recommend for junior high & high schools looking Ng to expand their manhwa & graphic text collections.

Honestly, this was so cute and had such a great message about bullying and finding friendships in tough times. Did I have to extend my disbelief a little bit that the three main characters were all connected? Yes, but it did not deter from the fact that this made me cry at the end. The art style was really cute and just added to the overall wholesome feel of the manhwa. If you're looking for something quick to read that will pull at your emotions, then I highly recommend!

Thank you so much for letting me read this manga. I liked this story very much. It is such a heartfelt, uplifting story.

Sori Lee stood up for her friend, which led her to become the new target. Her friend transfers schools, so Sori decides to follow that example. She finds a letter taped to the bottom of her desk inviting her on a scavenger hunt. Following the clues to find the letter writer, she explores the people and places around the school and learns to trust in people again.

Kids will understand Sori's ambivalence at helping her friend when bullies ganged up on her. Of course the bullies turned on her, and Sori explains that she regrets the outcome of her actions, but would have regretted it more if she remained silent and let it happen. She has an honorable core, and feels awkward moving in the middle of the school year. That shyness makes other kids feel she's stuck up, leading to more shyness and second guessing herself in school. Middle school is hard enough, so the first letter taped to the bottom of her desk is a huge hand in friendship that she seizes on. It's clever and informative, with a map of the school, drawings and names of the kids in class so she won't confuse them, and a little information about all of the teachers. It then sends her off to find more letters hidden in the school, drawing her out of the self pity and anxiety that she wrapped around herself.

This is a great story for middle schoolers; middle school in Korea is structured slightly differently from US middle schools, but the emotions and potential for bullying are the same. There are some cultural explanations in the back which help explain some details within the story, too. This is a story of Sori learning to make friends and come out of her shell, but also that of the other students and friendship in general. I really liked seeing it all tie together, and that the letters brought the kids together, and Sori also got letters from the friend she defended, letting her know how much it meant to her that Sori was there. Doing the right thing is hard, but it led to more meaningful relationships and associations, which every middle schooler needs to have reinforced.

I love everything about this book, from the illustrations, story and characters. Such a wholesome book, one that is so refreshing and uniquely beautiful. It's about friendship that ends up being so deeply rooted and standing up against bullies. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book so much and I would totally want to read more.

“Your letter” is such a heartwarming graphic novel! When Sori transfers schools she finds a hidden letter which leads her on a scavenger hunt around the school. She makes some friends along the way and there’s a lovely plot twist at the end.
It’s all around a lovely story about friendship!

Your Letter by Hyeon A. Cho was such a nice surprise. It's a complete manga story about a high school girl who has to change schools after standing up to a bully, and a string of mysterious letters she finds at her new school. Light trigger warnings for bullying, but that was in the background. The focus of the story was on the journey of the letters and the strength that comes from friendship and standing up for yourself. It was beautiful inside and out and I teared up by the end. I would heartily recommend this for all ages middle school age and above.

This one had me ugly crying. It was a sad yet warm story told in such a splendid way. The art is absolutely breathtaking and it conveys emotions with ease, especially through color scheme. Some scenes felt like they were taken exactly from Monet's paingings. Characters had so much depth and it was such a joy watching them grow. I honestly couldn't predict how it would end, and I was dreading the last couple of pages, but boy was I wrong. I was actually never so glad to be wrong about something. Your Letter is definitely something I'll keep recommending to my friends and will surely buy a copy for myself.

I already read "Your Letter" in webtoon form, but seeing the manhwa published physically makes me so happy because of how great it is. The characters are likable and make you want to root for and support them, the art and scenery are beautiful and take you into the story itself, and the plot is well-developed with nothing taking away from its focus. I wholeheartedly recommend this shorter read to just about anyone.

I had high hopes for this book, but it fell short. The plot interest me, and the fact that it was a graphic novel was pure icing on the cake; however, the story didn't hold. The characters lacked development and at times, it was hard to keep reading because the book was...boring.

A middle-grade story, that’s actually a fast-paced, mystery filled, suspenseful thriller too, AND in graphic novel format? YES, THIS BOOK HERE, OMG! It’s so good, the art is great and the text is perfection.

This is hands down the BEST MANHWA EVER WRITTEN. I'm not up for a debate on this topic.

Middle grade stories, especially around friends, never fail to make me cry. It's such an innocent age - you start to understand yourself and the world simultaneously. Amidst all the changes, you find your constants, your best friends, who make the universe seem ever so bearable. I honestly refuse to believe that romantic love triumphs over friendship. I mean, have you seen your friends? Your surroundings always seem to brighten up when you are with them!

I think this would be my 4-6th time reading this manhwa, and it's never boring. The whole concept of dealing with heavy and relevant topics (who's kidding - bullying starts early) with such a beautiful storyline is not an easy task. Now I honestly just need to go to South Korea and get a physical copy of this book.

Your Letter is a super cute graphic novel that follows a young girl who finds a mysterious letter taped to her desk on her first day at a new school. She ends up going on a scavenger hunt throughout the book to find more letters and figure out more about who is sending them. The art style is adorable, and I thought this one was really fun overall. I liked the focus on friendship and the ending!

Thanks to NetGalley, Yen Press, and Hyeon Cho for the chance to read and review. My thoughts and opinions are my own!

wow that was absolutely lovely. such a quick and heart-warming read i had chills!!!
I genuinely don't know what to say except that I cannot recommend this highly enough! 10/10!

Sori Lee stands up for a fellow student getting bullied and then becomes their target. To avoid this, she transfers to another school, but still struggles with the trauma. It's hard to be the new kid, but it's even harder to be the new kid knowing what others are capable of while questioning whether doing the right thing is even the best option anymore. When Sori discovers a letter attached to the bottom of her desk she starts a scavenger hunt throughout the school that might just bring her closer to the answer.

I really adored Your Letter by Hyeon A. Cho. It was a delightful mix of surrealism, introspection, and blossoming friendship. All the characters here are relatable and very likable. It's just a lovely story.

Middle schooler Sori Lee has transferred to a new school midyear. She is assigned the seat formerly occupied by Hoyeon Jung who emigrated out of the country. In the desk she finds a letter from Hoyeon that is addressed to any new student who needs to navigate their way around the school. However, this letter is just the first of several, providing clues where to find the next letter. It’s like a treasure hunt that has Sori obsessed. During her hunt for the next set of letters she meets Dongsoon Park who was Hoyeon’s former BFF but they lost touch. Together Sori and Dongsoon work together to find the last letters while at the same time encountering the school bully and vandal Seungkyu. With Seungkyu being the obstacle for the last letter that reveals Hoyeon’s whereabouts, Sori and Dongsoon together must make a critical decision.

This is one of the best graphic novels and certainly the best manhwa I’ve read in a while. The story – superb, the artwork – superb, the color – superb, the translation – superb, the letter – superb. You won’t find a better manhwa than this. It deeply touched my heart, bringing me to tears.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the review copy.

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC of this manga.

knew very little about this manga but I’d kept seeing it in the newsletters/emails I get from Ize Press and decided to pick it up when it came out. Then I saw that it was available on Netgalley so I had to request it and luckily I was approved.

My god did I cry reading this book. I was about a few pages in when I started to worry that Hoyoen wasn’t alive anymore. Then one of the characters began to talk about him in the past tense and then it basically confirmed by fears…or did it? I won’t spoil too much seeing as it’s best going in blind, but this manga will make you sob, smile, warm you up inside as it explores the themes of bullying, friendship and a sprinkle of magic. This, paired with the gorgeous full colour art throughout the manga will make you crave another book from this author. I already know that I’m going to buy myself a copy, I need a physical edition so I can reread it as much as possible.

Your Letter is now out in your local shop and you can have your heart broken and mended in just 265 pages too.

This is a lovely story all throughout, only improved by knowing it was a feat of translation on top of that. Equal parts heartfelt and heart wrenching!

*Your Letter* by Hyeon A Cho is a beautifully crafted webtoon that weaves together themes of friendship, healing, and hope. The story follows Sori, a young girl who stumbles upon a series of letters that guide her through difficult moments in her life. The narrative is heartwarming, and the delicate art style perfectly complements the emotional depth of the story. Each letter Sori finds is a piece of wisdom that not only helps her but also resonates with the reader. This is a touching tale about the power of words and the impact of kindness, making it a must-read for anyone who enjoys heartfelt stories.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Your Letter is a beautiful manga graphic novel about a girl who moves schools after sticking up for a fellow classmate who was being bullied. When she gets to her new school, she finds a letter hidden below her desk, which leads her on a scavenger hunt to find the next letters and work out who the writer is and why they wrote them. During her hunt, she meets a new friend, and their pasts end up linking together through the writer of the letters. This was such a cleverly weaved story with fantastic artwork and a heartfelt plot. The ending was beautiful and brought a tear to my eye. This book is just beautiful from start to finish, and I found the characters relatable and interesting and enjoyed seeing their maturity and growth as the story unfolded.
