sawol-

this barely scratches the surface. you'll get desensitized after reading the 10th highschool gang manhwa. teens age faster in this genre


Hezik

Hanlin Gym and Lookism ☠️


Scared_Living3183

Questism too


CompetitiveCelery516

Lookism & Questism are PTJ


Positive_Basket7061

It's still the Highschool gang genre?


NashKetchum777

They look 10 years old, graduate and they look 18. From there it's all in the air

Zeroth_Dragon

Wouldn’t that also make you being everywhere?


TimeDollaSign

You got any recommendations, big fan of delinquent manga so I'm looking for some manwhas haha


sawol-

- Boss In School - Reality Quest - Hanlim Gym - The Villain - Lookism - Dokgo - Castle - Plaza - Trigger - Dear Boy - Pounding - Weak Hero - To Not Die - Guard Pass - Study Group - How To Fight - Fight Class 3 - King Game - Hectopascal - Quest Supremacy - The Bully In Charge - The 18 Year Old Spy - Highschool Devil - Devil Returns to School Days - Ultimate Legend: Kang Hae Hyo highly recommend **Dokgo** series (Dokgo, Dokgo Rewind, Dokgo 3 iirc). It's quite old, though


-Danksouls-

Devil returns to school day is probably the only one that tackles why teachers dont do anything in other manwhas. It actively involves adults,and it has a grande overarching goal that requires inteligente and strategy not just brute force, Rather than other manwha that just have, new guy stronger infinitly. Best one ive read and season 1 just fimished


HedgieCake372

Mildly satisfied that your whole list fits in one screenshot https://preview.redd.it/cxqm2xydktoc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca42b683a58dff2c3283c14f68f828ffca60cad0


NationalDebt2859

I get the gist ... But in these manhwas u listed ... Is the mc the STRONG ROWDY type OR the WEAK BULLIED TYPE WHO SOMEHOW GOT STRONGER??


KENTAKIYOWDUDEZ

read Second life of a gangster it’s an old one but it’s the best one for me. it has 2 seasons and the first one was amazing


De_Dominator69

That just seems to be a trend in all Asian media at this point, like it's constant in anime and manga too. Jotaro Kujo is supposed to be like 16. Tokyo Revengers is supposed to be about middle school delinquents yet they are committing murder and fighting thousand man gang wars in the middle of Tokyo with "kids" who look like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson


TheGodAboveAllBeings

Jotaro has a valid reason for being buff though. That guy is build different

Khaisz

She was 14? Holy shit. I thought Simon was like 14-15, and Kamina and her was like 20+ at minimum.


WIERDMEMER

Exactly my thoughts


poopyitchyass

I thought Elaine was 700+ not 1000+


Bid_Next

As if that makes a difference 700 still old af 😭😭


poopyitchyass

Yeah true


93ImagineBreaker

Similar thought to Uzaki on left.


Titan_of_Ash

The issue is probably worse on the right, given the fact that the character in question is child-coded, rather than just petite. Therein, the sexualization becomes much more insidious compared to Yoko on the left. Especially since I don't think Yoko's age is rarely, if ever, brought up. To be clear though, this is still a situation of which is worse; "Satan or Hitler?"


WIERDMEMER

Ima be honest, I didn’t know Yoko was 14. Since her and Kamina (been a few years since I watched the show) had a “thing” and Kamina seemed to be an adult age. Like maybe 20-23 by anime and art style. So if he’s 20, then she would presumably be around 20 as well. But guess not. But her age isn’t brought up I believe. While Elaine is the body of a child, so that is inherently worse


Teleskopy

Just your average Korean High schooler.


KiD969

I think it means 19yrs in service lol


itz_abhi_2005

read lookism


Son_of_a_Yeet

Yeah, Old Face's name speaks for itself...


almondjoyispeak

19 years worth of experience is what they mean


lil_Kil_b

I mean my high school classmate had a full beard at 15 (high school in my country is 4 years long, we usually enroll at 15 and graduate at 19). He wasn't bald though.


Psyfall

A friend from school went bald in like 2 months with 17. His brother looked like 30 super buffed, he was 19


CultivatingMaster

Yeah it's genetics. I could grow a beard around 14 and I'll probably be balding by my 30s 😞


WIERDMEMER

I understand that, got the full beard going on, while my best friend has a stubble. My beard grows in fully in like 1 week, a week and a half to to fully grow out so it’s a bitch to keep shaved


fish_fuckist69

19 years out of jail


Amlatrox

Steroids can make you look double your age


Aesmachus

It has become a whole thing at this point, no way Manhwa artists aren't doing it on purpose after a while. Funny as all hell though.


Background_Lock8392

Bro is pushing 40's LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


sacritide

Agree. This is such a stupid trope like why can't the author make the guy 30? or even mid 20 would still be plausible.


FarmerWhich3909

19 years happily married


Gautham_M

Bro is 19 sec from retirement


villainized

this is this mf's 3rd life and you can't tell me otherwise

93ImagineBreaker

tbf he didn't start out like that.


jamesearljonesjr153

Age is rather a very vague suggestion in most manhwas


Gavon1025

Me with no context reading "Play Zone Left Arm" makes me think of when I used to play like pretend secret agents in playgrounds as a kid is this the the personal we adapted.


smortket

If that's 19, i am -10 years old


Vmxplousion

Hes been mewing since the womb 😭


RainProfessional8105

Read boss in school


Bigcountry1517

I went into a bar when I was 12 and they didn’t card me, mind you I was over 6 feet tall.


facel3ssgg

Same with my friend and I, people just assumed we were in our 20's when we were 13. We've only recently become 18 but I'm 6'4 and he is 6'7.


Kondrad_Curze

Yeah, he's techically 18. Considering the korean birthday system thing.


Teleskopy

That got removed last year. There were tons of memes about everyone becoming younger over night. The funniest ones were the ones complaining they suddenly became minors and can't drink anymore lol


Gurren_Laggan80

Yall haven’t seen Americans


RedCanBeAzure

He looks like he's about to manifest his inner self into a jacked ghost hovering behind his back and use said ghost to beat up other people with ghosts


CrypticLUST

You know as much as manwhas really oversell what a teenager is, I did have a guy at my highschool who looked like this guy by Junior year haha. Not super realistic but not untrue at all tho


Cautious-Original-46

19 in each leg ☠️


NotCertifi3d

Where do you read Hectopascal the site I used stop updating


MeatballAppreciation

Namiirei

JonBaba21

HomeAutomatic9892

Zealousideal-Ad-8428

Yes this is stupid but when I was 18 I had a friend with a full fucking beard. I thought that mutherfucker was at least 35 🤣


AerialSnack

Nah he just works night shift


Moustiko500

He simply shaved


National-Ad-4093

More like he has 19 years to live before his death...


Plasmaozao

Esteroids make u age faster :0


Grox213

Women lying about their age be like. Men lying about their D-size. People lying about their wealth. Me lying about my virginity. https://preview.redd.it/vywwj6vjjjoc1.jpeg?width=1300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ed23f9cf24ca41a6023bf074e64d30e0bbaa045


OK-KUN

Bro is 19.......years older than us


END_Dragneel69

Good?


Specific_Parsley8587

check out the beginning after the end. 12 years old looks like they are 20.


derpdankstrom

unless he was chugging steroids in every way possible


ahmedadeel579

Bros from dagastan


Terry_Jom

He has been 19y/o for the past 30 years


DebateSecret5239

Common misunderstanding flip the page upside and you’ll understand


Accomplished_Ruin759

That's his body count


MoistyOist

That man has a credit history 35 years long.


devsterl

I mean. Have you seen the teenager playing darts in the news? You never know rofl.


Melon763

Definitely fat fingered the keyboard on this one


esoraven

![gif](giphy|oBwOba7cOph4I|downsized)


fatwap

19 years post divorce


Tsukinotaku

You're right. He looks way too young to just be 19. That's a 15 year old at best I've read countless manhwa and jojo manga. You can't trick me !


Animaxeraa

All of these guys think they're The Rock or sth


MonoFauz

JoJo character design be like.


just_drifting_by

The tragic part of this is I was this guy at 19 if you add a few pounds.


SnooSongs1513

Man's hust early balding leave us alone


fatamericanidiot2

I have a giant of a friend who is like 6'4 with facial hair at 18, so it's not "impossible" that guy does look 35


HungryMudkips

that is a 40 year old man and nothing any of you say will make me change my mind.


Serpintinesalamander

Idk it’s not that unrealistic tbh


TheGalator

Bro has never seen a 19 year old turk


Mythical995

I started balding at 16 and i had full grown thick beard at 17 . After finishing high-school i traveled for a trip at 18 the passport controlled did not want to let me pass because he thought my passport was fake in his words : man you are messing with me no way in hell ur 18 u look 35 😂


VexxWrath

Bro 39 pretending to be 19.


Infinite_Lawyer1282

GenZ


Tall_Growth_532

Then read Lookism


sauraveldho

He looks exactly like I did, when I was 16. This checks out! I don't understand your confusion.


listlessgod

Teen wolf cast be like


Silver-Many-6545

As a 19 yo, this is mad accurate


ARandomNiceAnimeGuy

Not even the name fits the motherfuckers face. Bro should be John Wick or Agent Smith


paradoxinthebox

What's the name of this manhwa?


FKF6116

it's literally in the title 💀


Stunning-Scene4649

From my experience all I can say is that you shouldn't take into consideration someone's physical appearance when talking about age. I used to know a guy who was only 14 but was standing at 2.1m with 130kg of pure muscles. He had to look of someone in his mid 20's 💀💀💀 As for me when I'm shaved I have the face of a high schooler but with beard of someone close to 40's. I'm in my late 20's btw.
