Publang has opened their preorders for October and it includes some much-anticipated reads.
The publisher of Korean boys’ love works, has revealed that the first two volumes of the Payback manhwa will be available at $21.99 USD per volume. The series will be uncensored and include two photocards with each volume. Along with Payback, Publang has also opened preorders for the first two volumes of December, the novel, which will be sold as a set.
Payback will mark Publang’s first manhwa print release. Based on the novel written by SAMK, Fujoking adapted the story into a manhwa that has amassed more than two million views on Tappytoon. There is no word if the print release of Payback will be a translation from Publang or the existing translation on Tappytoon.
The synopsis for the novel is as follows:
Lee Yoohan had lived life as a thug, playing by his own rules and caring only for his own indulgences, with no regard for others. As a consequence of his past actions, his younger brother was tragically murdered, followed by the death of his mother. Then alone in the world, his sole purpose in life was paying off the debt incurred from his mother’s hospital bills.
The same day he scattered his mother’s ashes, he ended up spending the night with a stranger…
“Hey, Bunny.”
“How are you gonna make up for this?”
“…”
“I’m asking you, Jihwaja Karaoke.”
“So what.”
“You should play with me.”
He must have thought my silence meant I didn’t want to fight, because he frowned and tossed his half-burned cigarette to the ground.
“I guess I’ll have to force you to play with me.”
“Can you do it with men?”
He paused. And as he understood the meaning, a smile broke across his face for the first time. His relaxed voice flowed into my ears.
“If I’m the one doing the fucking.”
Five years later, after repaying his debts, Yoohan overheard his ex, Song Myungshin, and learned the truth behind the pivotal day. Determined to seek revenge, he embarked on an acting career. In this new world, he met a lunatic who demanded a fortune for a half-burned cigarette and bizarrely offered to sponsor him. But what secrets was this lunatic hiding?
“Or instead of a discount, I could help you.”
“With what?”
“Revenge. That’s why you’re trying to become a celebrity, isn’t it?”
“…”
“I could become your sponsor.”
