Timing & Again

“Timing” might not have the best art, but I assure you it has one of the most beautiful stories out there. In fact, it is one of the best webtoons I read in recent years.

Timing circles around a group of people with supernatural gifts: a woman who can foresee a coming disaster, another who is able to see a tragedy 10 minutes before it happens, a student who can freeze time, and a man who can rewind the clock by 10 seconds. A series of mysterious high school suicides bring them together as the gang races with deaths to unveil the truth behind them.

While the art might not be everyone’s preference, this series is seriously thrilling and may invoke your curiosity till the last page. The plot is deep and can be rather mind-blowing.

Its sequel, “Again” has a much improved drawing. This time, the story introduces a new group of people who cheated deaths and will cheat times and again, even if it means killing innocent souls to achieve it. A man, who has an ability to avoid dangers, has to protect his immigrant pregnant wife from the ferocity of the group. The story can be a tearjerker, just a heed.  

Each title has around 30 chapters (I gobbled them in one go). Most chapters are short but rich that it feels like so many things happen in only a few panels.

The plots (of both series) can be confusing especially with those many charactes and time jumps. But they, in a way, make sense. I seriously think that Kang Full, the man who penned this series, is a genius–as expected from a first-generation webtoon artist.

Will I read them again? Yes, definitely a yes.
