This beautiful vibrant illustrated novel portrays important issues like friendship, bullying, self doubt, social awkwardness and isolation against the backdrop of school life.

Due to some past incidents Sori decides to switch school post summer holidays.But in the new school she is overwhelmed with self doubt and awkwardness.She finds a letter by a mysterious person underneath her desk which leads to the scavenger hunt.These letters helps her ease into her new life, acts like a balm to her troubled heart.She makes new friends too.But it's not the end, it just the beginning.

The three main protagonists Sori Lee, Dongsoon Park and Hoyeon Jung will move your heart, the supporting characters like the Witch Sooni Kim lends a firm support to the storyline.The climax ends in a Cliffhanger leaving me wanting for more.

I thought this was a cute graphic novel and I really enjoyed it! It had a nice surprise twist at the end which only made it cuter!
My one critique of this ARC is that the watermark on every page definitely took away from the art while reading.

A manhwa is about courage, friendship, and faith.

Sori Lee is a middle schooler who moved to another school after standing up against bullying and later facing bullying herself. She had a hard time making friends at her new school until one day she found a mysterious letter under her desk. The letter contained details about the school and her classmates’ names, along with clues to another letter. While following these letters, she encountered a witch gardener and a boy named Eugene in a secret hideout; they quickly became friends and searched for another letter.

This manhwa is absolutely adorable and beautiful. It touches on important topics like bullying and anxiety. The artwork is just fantastic, and the colour scheme is stunning. Unlike some other manhwa, this one is pretty short, with only 10 chapters. I absolutely love the ending; it’s super sweet and beautiful. This manhwa is so comforting and lovely to read.

I would highly recommend this manhwa.

Your Letter is a web comic turned physical book and I have had much success enjoying those in the past. This one is no different! Sori spoke up for a friend of hers who was bullied at her previous school which led to Sori herself being bullied. She transfers schools and doesn't know how to make friends. She was sat in the back of her classroom when she finds a letter taped under that desk that gives her wonderful information about her new school and leads her on a journey to find more letters. Finally she finds her place and the mystery of the letters should keep every reader interested. I really enjoyed this one and will be recommending it to many others!

“on her first day, she finds a mysterious letter taped to the bottom of her desk inviting her on a scavenger hunt!” When I read this line I was not expecting such a touching and heartwarming story from this graphic novel.
This is one of those graphic novels that does so much with its emotion in the art that it packs an emotional punch in a visual way. Writing beautiful and the art wonderful.

Thanks NetGalley, Yen Press, and Ize Press for sending me an arc in exchange a honest review.

This story was brief yet inspiring and lovely. It is about speaking up, friendship, hope, and a dash of magic. The illustrations —fully coloured—are immersive.

Sori speaks up when a classmate is being bullied, and she is frightful that she will be bullied as well, so she decides to transfer schools. However, she is concerned that she will also be bullied there. But on her first day, under her desk, she discovers the first of many letters, which tell her everything she needs to know and lead her to a thrilling friendship.

ʏᴏᴜʀ ʟᴇᴛᴛᴇʀ✉️ is a sweet and short story about courage, braveness, faith in friendship and the harsh reality of how fragile life is.
In the story, our main character Sori Lee 👧is a kind and brave middle schooler, who moved to a new school, after she stood up against a bully. In her new school, Sori found a letter addressed to her under her desk and kept on finding such letters. Each of these letters was not just letters, it sent Sori and Dongsoon(her new stranger friend)on a scavenger hunt. They had to constantly overcome obstacles with logic and faith in their pen pal's clues to find the letters. Which helped them to spend some time together and develop a great friendship!
The simplicity of the story brought happy tears to my eyes by the end 🥹. Such a warm moment!

The artwork in the book is sooo beautiful, it left me mesmerized!😍🤩.

🌿Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed a cute read!
I recommend this read If you love simple reads, beautiful art and faithful friendship.

Your Letter has the charm of films like Suzume, Your Name & Ghibli films. It's a slice of life with a bit of fantasy, dealing with pretty heavy themes of bullying & anxiety. However, the story is told well and Sori grows over the comic as does her newfound friend Dongsoon. The whimsical art style greatly served this comic and all the little details in the letters really helped being this comic to life. I was thoroughly surprised by the ending and absolutely enjoyed reading this!

Thanks to Netgalley & Yen Press for this arc.

Today, I'm bringing you the webtoon/graphic novel "Your Letter," created by Hyeon A Cho.

We follow Sori, who, after suffering from bullying at her school, transfers to a new one in search of a better environment. 😢

At this new school, she embarks on an adventure involving a sort of treasure hunt with mysterious letters that appear, the first of which is deliberately placed under her study desk. 🗝️

This marks the beginning of many adventures, incredible friendships, and an extraordinary connection between Sori and two characters you won't want to miss. 😊

I won't spoil more because it's truly better to read it yourself. 💕

Absolutely amazing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Das Buch, Manga, whatever, war eine wunderschöne Kombination aus Erzählkunst und wunderschönen Kunstwerken. Es ist schwer in Worte zu fassen, wie gut es war, lest es am besten einfach selber würde ich mal sagen. Das Buch hat es sogar geschafft, dass mir die Tränen nur so die Wangen runtergeflossen sind.

This was a nice and wholesome read. However I didn’t like the watermark that was on each page. I know and understand why it’s there. However, as someone with bad eyes, it was sometimes difficult to read when the watermark overlapped with the text bubbles.

It moved my heart and touched my soul in so many ways. Finding letters a friend has prepared for others to find them. I seriously love this one!

A wholesome and uplifting story about kindness and the impact your actions can have others - in a positive or negative way. Sometimes your bravery and kindness can change someone's life forever

Sori Lee, a student with a kind and brave heart. At her last school, she stood up for a friend who was being bullied and became the new target. Even though its a new environment, she cant help but feel scared at the thought of a repeat of her last school and distances herself from the others. She has a hard time fitting in, and then she stumbles upon a letter underneath her desk that helps guide her through her new environment.

I adored this story! The storytelling is stellar and its beautifully illustrated. The artist's skill shines through their fun compositions and angles.

Even though Sori became introverted and scared after she got bullied, she hated the thought of her friend getting hurt more. Choosing kindness sounds easy, but it can be terrifying when the other party is unpredictable and aggressive. Sori impacts Jimin to stand up for another student. Jimin was scared and haunted by the memories at her last school, but she knew what it was like to be bullied and how it felt when someone stood up for her. It wasnt an immediate reaction and it took her time to do it, but she was relieved when it happened

Its really sweet to see how Sori's small acts of thoughtfulness encouraged Hoyeon to be a better person, who helped out Dongsoon, and how that chain of events trickle down through each person

Thank you to NetGalley and Ize Press for the e-arc!
I had previously read this webtoon and enjoyed it a lot so I was happy to reread and review it. Your Letter is a series about Sori Lee who transfers to a new school due to bullying issues at her previous school. She finds a mysterious letter in her school desk and is taken on a journey to find its sender. She ends up teaming up with another classmate who knew the desk's previous owner. This story has great artwork and lyrical writing that keeps the audience intrigued. I remember speeding through this when I first read it and I did it again when rereading it. I noticed the little details on this reread and I still found the friendships in this to be endearing and wholesome. I highly recommend checking this out on the publication date especially if you like mysteries and slice-of-life stories.

This was absolutely gorgeous, the art style is expressive and stunning !!! The story had me hooked and sobbing sm in sm places !!! I love our three main characters, and it was sweet the way sori's backstory connected to the one who had written the letters, and it made me so happy to see them all reunite in the end.

I thoroughly enjoyed the stunning artwork and beautiful story telling. As you follow the main characters in their quest to find letters left behind, you become so connected with them and the soul of the letters. What I appreciate most was that this story has such a strong message against bullying and emphasizing the importance of kindness however small or large.

Such a cool graphic novel about students finding belonging, standing up to bullying, and friendship in the midst of transitions. Not to give anything away for the ending, but very glad it ended this way and not another possibility. The drawings are absolutely beautiful and well done! So glad the book got translated to English.

This is STUNNING. Beautiful cover and beautiful work throughout this manwha book. The story made me feel all sorts of emotions through heartache and happiness and anything in between.

This is a selection I would be recommending to fellow friends and readers. I’m an avid social justice advocate and the message throughout this story hit me in my heart.

Reading that it was originally a webtoon being published is wonderful. I hope there is an anime special created from this as I would support/ watch that as well.

When someone is reading this prepare to cry and get in a rollercoaster of emotions as you journey with these characters through life, struggles, connections, and some mystery.

Thank you to NetGalley for sending this ARC for a honest review.
