(also known simply as Love Junkie in English scanlations) is a completed Korean manhwa that explores the darker, messier side of young love and emotional dependency. Unlike typical fluffy romance manhwa, Love Junkie doesn’t shy away from themes like obsession, toxic relationships, jealousy, and psychological turmoil.
At its core, "Love Junkie" is a deconstruction of the traditional romance genre. The series follows the life of Yoo Hae-Ji, a troubled and lonely college student who finds herself unable to form healthy relationships. Her fixation on love is all-consuming, driving her to engage in self-destructive behaviors and form toxic bonds with those around her. Through Hae-Ji's narrative, Gi Maeng-gi masterfully exposes the darker aspects of love and relationships, laying bare the psychological vulnerabilities that can lead individuals down a path of addiction and heartache. love junkie komik manhwa
