Pak's shift to a horizontal-scrolling, black-and-white manga format on Piccoma marks a deliberate move toward Japanese manga conventions while leveraging his established webtoon IP portfolio.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
Taejun Pak and The Grimm Entertainment launched a new horizontal-scrolling comic titled Inked on Kakao's Piccoma platform on August 16. The black-and-white work follows slave boy Rok, who brands himself with the Mark to become a Marker and strike at the Clof Empire's ruler, Yujin. It is Pak's first horizontal-scrolling work.
The Grimm Entertainment, the company behind Lookism and Manager Kim, expands its catalog with a format change. Inked is Pak's first horizontal-scrolling comic and is mostly black and white, a departure from the full-color vertical webtoons he is known for.
Pak said the work fulfills a long-held ambition to become a manga creator. The story centers on Rok, a slave boy who survives an attack by monsters called Tattoos by branding himself with the Mark, becoming a Marker, and targeting the tyrannical family ruling the Clof Empire.
