Bak-ha has been able to see spirits since childhood, a gift—or curse—that sets him apart from others. On his first day at a new school, he meets Jindo, a boy who immediately notices Bak-ha’s strange, sweet scent and realizes that he, too, is different. As the two grow closer, Bak-ha uncovers the truth behind his abilities: he is the Moonchild, a mythical being who once ruled over spirits. With ghosts and demons drawn to his presence, Bak-ha must confront his forgotten past while trying to survive a present where the supernatural refuses to let him live as a normal student.
Moonchild excels at atmosphere. Rather than relying on constant shock or action, it builds unease through quiet moments, lingering spirits, and the weight of forgotten identity.
Bak-ha’s journey isn’t about becoming stronger—it’s about remembering who he was and deciding who he wants to be. The relationship with Jindo grounds the story emotionally, offering warmth amid the creeping danger of the spirit world.
This webtoon is ideal for readers who enjoy supernatural mysteries, folklore-inspired fantasy, and introspective coming-of-age stories. Moonchild is less about fighting monsters—and more about living with what haunts you.
