*The God of High School* is a Korean webtoon published on Naver, a popular Korean search engine. The story follows Mori Jin, a 17-year-old high school student who was raised by his adoptive grandfather, though they aren’t related by blood. Trained in an unconventional style of Taekwondo since childhood, Mori receives a personal invitation to compete in the *God of High School* tournament, a high-stakes martial arts competition. The winner earns a million dollars and the chance to have any wish granted.
Throughout the tournament, Mori forms alliances with other skilled fighters, including Mi-Ra Yu, a 17-year-old kendo practitioner, and Dae-Wi Han, a karate expert. The webtoon stands out for its stunning full-color artwork, a hallmark of Korean webcomics, especially those hosted on Naver. The illustrations use modern CG techniques and expert shading, with vibrant colors that help distinguish the large cast of characters—though many play only minor roles in the overall plot.
The story centers on Mori’s ambition to master Renewal Taekwondo and prove himself as the strongest fighter. With each new chapter, the plot deepens, introducing unexpected twists that keep the narrative engaging and dynamic.
