Still, a lucky stroke of fate is about to offer a new lifeline. No, it’s not something shady, but a simple cooking gig. Her client? Daniel Yoon—the Mark Zuckerberg of fictional South Korea. My Review: I’ll give Age Matters a 9/10 and a must-read stamp. This age-gap webtoon grips you with its hilarious main couple, solid shoujo art style, and comedic undertone. But what makes it gripping is its characters’ growth and flaws. How do I say this? It adds an extra layer of depth and intensity to the plot. I Found Somebody to Love by TappyToon 2. I Found Somebody to Love Yihyun isn’t your ordinary romantic man. No, he is a stoic literature professor whom his students can’t help but hate and love.

My Review: Don’t judge it by its synopsis or book cover. I Found Somebody to Love is a surprisingly mature romance story. Rather than trekking the shoujo path, this age-gap romance manhwa is more of a mature josei. It also hooks you with its wholesomeness, serious plot, and complex characters. Enjoyment-wise, I’ll give this tale a 9/10. The Nuna at Our Office by Webtoon 3. The Nuna at Our Office Manager Son's dull office life takes a turn when he meets the captivating Manager Ahn.

Or will it wither under workplace and societal pressures? My Review: The Nuna at Our Office is a must-read age-gap romance webtoon with literary flair. It’s mature, realistic, and episodic. It also doesn’t conform to normal tropes, but walks on a path of its own. If you’ve watched the anime 5 Centimeters Per Second, this tale offers the same growing-up vibes. I might be biased, but I love it. Overall, I’ll give this unique tale a 9/10. One Step Away From Happiness by Manta 4. One Step Away From Happiness As an orphan, Bina’s life is full of twists and turns. Fortunately, Heewoon’s family has helped her in her darkest hours so much that she even became a doctor. So it’s no wonder she treats them as her own. The problem? Heewoon has confessed his love to her, much to her surprise. And oh boy, the lad is dead serious. But with a decade-wide age gap looming over them, can love bloom between the pair? My Review: One Step Away From Happiness deserves a solid 8/10. It has an interesting plot concept, funny characters, and a clean art style. But what makes it special is how it tackles social stigmas, such as age gaps in romantic relationships. As for its weakness, its pacing is too slow for my taste. It also has lackluster stakes. But if you’re looking for a refreshing childhood romance love story, then this is for you. Back to the Highteen by Manta 5. Back to the Highteen Bo-Young, 28 and struggling through college, gets dumped by her freeloading boyfriend.

This age gap manhwa is a delightful brew of comedy, drama, supernatural, and good ol’ shoujo tropes. If you’re looking for something refreshing to read, this isn’t for you.
