During Webtoon Week 2026, Jim Killen, Director of Retail Operations at Manga Spot, discussed the integration of manhwa and webtoons into stores primarily focused on manga. According to Killen, these titles are often displayed alongside manga, organized by series rather than origin. While manga remains the larger portion of their inventory, several manhwa titles consistently rank among their top sellers. Popular genres include action, adventure, and fantasy, with series like Solo Leveling and The Boxer performing well. Killen observed that customers generally prioritize the story over the distinction between manga, manhwa, and other webtoons. Many readers who initially discover these series online still choose to purchase physical copies to own and collect the content they enjoy. Do you prefer reading your favorite webtoons online or collecting them in printed book format? Source: ICv2, "Webtoon Week 2026: ICv2 Interview: Manga Spot Director of Retail Operations Jim Killen"…
