Be very careful what you wish for let Jin Ryu be the perfect example of this. When her family leaves her behind for Hawaii, in frustration, Jin makes the statement that she hopes their plane doesn’t arrive. Jin’s comment became her wish and her family dies en route. Hoping to somehow bring them back, Jin meets the powerful magician named K who claims he can bring them back. The only cost is that Jin must work as his assistant.

I Wish…that phrase is something everyone says. Who doesn’t want their wishes fulfilled by some magical force? That being said, as we learn in this dramatic and romance-filled slice of life manhwa named I Wish, that phrasing can indeed have some unforeseen consequences. While I Wish by the manhwaga Hyun Ju-Suh seems almost laughable to be on a slice of life manhwa list, it makes sense when there is a real life message sewn into the narrative. Our Top Ten Slice of Life Manhwa list starts off with I Wish, something we know you’ll agree with if you check it out.

Gang-Ho was a hardworking family man. Barely sleeping more than a few hours a day, it seems that eventually his work would catch up to him. During a horrible fire, Gang-Ho had half his face burned horribly and his work place let him go. Now jobless and afraid his family, especially his young daughter, will be scared of his scars, Gang-Ho comes up with an idea. He begins to wear costumes and poses as Gugu-man, a superhero.

First we need to say it: Jung Pil Won, we commend you. Your work in regards to Familyman is what we love about slice of life manhwa. The cute art and impressive narrative make you feel for Gang-Ho and truly sympathize or even empathize with his issue. There wasn’t a single moment that passed in this 3 volume manhwa that we didn’t feel for these characters and that’s why it had to be on our list. Hopefully you’ll check out Familyman as we know you’ll love it.

We know it’s hard to resist temptation but let Bae Sugu be a shining example of letting your temptation get the best of you. Bae’s one major drive in life is swimsuits and you can already guess that causes him some trouble. However, Bae’s swimsuit love isn’t perverted, despite what most would think and it doesn’t help when he’s caught taking pictures of girls in swimsuits by a pool by his teacher. Given that he would otherwise face possible expulsion which could hurt his dad, the vice principal, Bae takes an offer given by his teacher to avoid trouble. However, this so called offer isn’t exactly normal…

We won’t spoil what Bae has to deal with in My Heart is Beating by Ha Il-Kwon. In this silly slice of life manhwa, readers will enjoy comedy, romance, sports and a whole slew of genres. While it may seem My Heart is Beating contains too many genres, all of them work in tangent with one another and we feel that’s because of the slice of life theme infused in by Ha Il-Kwon. We have to wonder would we take the deal the homeroom teacher offers Bae? Actually here’s a question for you folks, would any of you? If you want to know the answer you’ll have to read My Heart is Beating, see what we did there.

Vampires exist?! In Orange Marmalade, vampires are indeed a real entity but the human race requires them to be kept away from the public. The vampires hide themselves and drink pig’s blood in lieu of human blood. Ma Ri Baek a young woman who just so happens to be a vampire herself, wishes to lead a normal life but is finding that goal very difficult to accomplish. Luckily for Ma, she is about to run into Jae Min Jung and this odd vampire slice of life will truly get underway.

Manhwaga SeokWoo’s Orange Marmalade may be about a vampire and human romance but the concepts of segregation and stereotyping are real themes handled well in this manhwa. If the amazing art doesn’t capture you, the brilliant characters such as Ma Ri Baek will. Her struggle to live a normal life will be what makes you feel for her and route like we did that things work out. While we do know if they work out or not we won’t spoil that for you. That being said why not check out Orange Marmalade to find a truly great slice of life work?

The only question is can they face the challenges the world sets before them?

The Friendly Winter is an endearing slice of life manhwa from the manhwaga Lee Jun. Both of these ailments are actually similar to real life concepts and that’s what makes The Friendly Winter so intriguing. The beautiful tale of these two characters really grips at the readers’ hearts and we loved it. Slice of life works usually don’t often include people with disabilities; that’s why The Friendly Winter is such a refreshing manhwa to read. Seriously we really recommend Lee Jun’s The Friendly Winter with two thumbs way up.

Most people forget animals have their own lives like humans. They live, breathe, grow with their owners, and face their own issues internally. Separated into multiple episodes, My Young Cat and My Old Dog talks about some of the manhwaga’s own pets as well as several others. Cute and charming, this manhwa truly is meant for those who own pets. The world of pets has never been more interesting thanks to My Young Cat and My Old Dog.

Manhwaga Cho has captured the beauty of animals in such a cool slice of life story less about humans and more about pets. The cute art and story will appear truly those who own cats and dogs or just pet owners in general. This short series’ only weakness is that it’s not longer. Seriously we wished it was longer. We think people do forget that slice of life is able to apply to large ideals. Luckily for those who forget, My Young Cat and My Old Dog reminds you and you won’t be complaining.

If you met God when you died, what do you think you two would talk about? In About Death, God talks to several souls who have passed on from the world or are nearing the final destination. Each character talks about their life and begins to dwell on the successes and failures they all have dealt with. With amazing art and BGM that plays for each chapter, About Death is one manhwa that makes you truly think about these few question. What does death mean truly, is it really the end or a new tale?

Slice of Life needs to focus on the lives of characters that are in any story, which is perfectly realized in About Death. From the very first story to the several others you’ll read, you’ll see how various characters played their lives out and all while realizing that most are very similar to the real world way people live. Manhwaga Sini and Hyeono really accomplished one of the best slice of life and psychological manhwa we’ve read in some time thanks to their teamwork. If you love the slice of life genre, can’t go wrong with reading About Death…just bring some tissues you may need them.

They however don’t see it that way. What truly awaits these two is an interesting romance and slice of life tale that seems fitting for these quirky two.

In many ways we’re reminded of an old television show called the Odd Couple when we read Something About Us. These two so called friends are filled with things to say and show their weird relationship constantly to the audience. However, their struggle to find common place with one another is a pleasure as Something About Us is such a fun slice of life manhwa. Lee Yunji should be commended for taking a usually cliché romance plot and twisting on its head. If you love your romance and slice of life filled with cute and comedic tones, then you’ll probably enjoy Something About Us.
