This is a lovely story that I really enjoyed. From the colors and drawings til the innocence of the story. It keeps you reading, wanting to know what's happening, who's the kid behind those letters. And in the end it's all about friendship, which is my fav topic in books.
Really recommend it

I learned about this story a long time ago in webtoon format, where you could read it on your cell phone and now it will be published physically and there is nothing that makes me so happy.

You Letter is a beautiful, magnificent story that fills you with love and also brings to the table strong themes such as bullying and other things that I can't say so as not to spoil it (nothing serious, you can read it safely). .

The aesthetic of the comic is UNIQUE, I think it adds a lot to the story and everyone would want to start reading it because of how beautiful and aesthetic it is, to find an inspiring story about young people who seem to be lost.

I have nothing but words of love for this comic and I hope that many people can read it because it is worth it.

Thank you Yen Press for the digital copy that I read on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

4.5, rounded up. A stellar example of a slice-of-life webtoon that works SO well and allows the reader to become emotionally invested. (Did I cry at the last panel? Maybe...)

I first read this story years ago on Webtoons and fell in love with the art. I was so excited to see this is coming to print and immediately wanted to give it a reread with book formatting as opposed to the layout from online. This story is just as bittersweet and lovely as I remember it! Though it deals with some tougher issues, like illness and bullying, the story follows middle schooler Sori after she transfers to a new school and finds an unexpected ally. A series of letters guides her through the school, providing classmates names, shortcuts around campus, eventually leading her to cross paths with fellow student, Dongsoon. The mystery/scavenger hunt element of the story is unique and provides Sori with an unusual view of the school, alongside glimpses of both her and Dongsoon’s pasts. As I progressed through the book I realized I had completely forgotten the plot twist, and it was fun and emotional to rediscover it all over again.

When Sori stands up for a classmate, it leaves a target kn her back. When that classmate moves to a new school, Sori decides that she should move too and returns to her old neighbourhood. At her new school, she sits at a desk and finds a letter, guiding her through her first few days in her new class. This letter leads her to more and, eventually, to new friendships as she discovers who left the letters and why.

I found this a little hard to follow at times, when the story jumped to different viewpoints and I found the copyright watermarks affected my enjoyment of some of the otherwise brilliant artwork. I really enjoyed the story though and would definitely read more from the author.

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.

✉️🗝️ Your Letter 🗝️✉️

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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

4 ⭐

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
