Music is magical, and Anterella has captured that magic in a bottle. Well, if a bottle was her WEBTOON series, Brass & Sass.

What Camilla lacks in ability, she makes up for with passion and getting the chance to watch her grow and find love is something you don’t want to miss.

The Doctors are Out – Blau
Another incredible female content creator to keep an eye on is Blau. Her LGBTQIA+ WEBTOON series The Doctors are Out is one of our favorite series with representation. It follows two doctors, one for humans and one for animals, who start off with a rather rocky relationship. It doesn’t help that they have very similar names. Blau knows how to tell a story packed with the bickering we absolutely love. And the girl knows to write and draw some pretty terrific swoon-worthy moments.

Gourmet Hound – Leehama
When we first found out just how obsessed with WEBTOON series we were, it was Leehama‘s Gourmet Hound that sealed the deal. It’s an emotional rollercoaster of a series disguised as a romance. Lucy’s journey to find the chef responsible for creating her favorite meal may seem like a silly story. But as Leehama weaves her story, it becomes about finding ways to deal with loss and grief. She teaches readers how to find healthy ways to cope and that it’s okay to lean on others.

unOrdinary – Chelsey Han
While we love a good romance or supernatural WETBOON series, we can’t help but fall head over heels for the action superheroes ones. And what one could be better than Chelsey Han‘s unOrdinary? Han is an incredible storyteller and artist who has graced us with chapter upon chapter of the best fight scenes on the app. The story follows John, an ordinary teenager at a super unordinary school where the social elite possesses unthinkable powers and abilities. If you love action series, this is an absolute must-read.
