The subject does not appear to be notable. A quick search before the nomination turned up only appearances in "top 10 manhwa"–type lists, none of which have significant coverage about the subject. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:18, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

- @Toobigtokale: Thanks for your comment! I'm working through machine translation here, so my assessments may not be wholly accurate, but I have reservations about these sources. Firstly, even though the articles have been published separately, a lot of their content is almost exactly the same, which gives me the impression that there's some paid promotion or press release copying happening. In any case, they don't seem to have any significant coverage of the subject of this article, so my notability concerns remain. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:39, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oh you're right; I didn't read in detail but they do overlap and seems like paid promotion. Lean delete now. toobigtokale (talk) 07:28, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
