독보적인 분위기와 섬세하고 풍부한 인물 감정 묘사로 인생작이라는 평가를 받으며 폭넓은 독자층을 가지고 있는 비첸치 작가의 로맨스 판타지 웹소설 〈마귀〉가 한흔 작가의 각색과 Fuki. Choco 작가의 작화를 만나 웹툰 『마귀』로 재탄생되었다.
웹툰 『마귀』는 신비로운 중세 분위기와 주인공의 아름다운 모습을 정교하고 화려하게 구현해 원작의 흡입력을 시각화했다. 각 인물의 세밀한 감정과 이들을 둘러싼 미스터리한 사건을 아름답고도 긴장감 넘치게 표현해 해외에서도 좋은 반응을 이끌어 내고 있다. 원작 웹소설과 같으면서도 또 다른 매력을 지닌 『마귀』에는 작품 속 주인공들의 가장 매력적인 순간을 포착한 엽서 2종이 함께 수록되었다.
《- ...Answer me, Inette. Will you run away again? Will... you abandon me? - NNGH! JOHAN...! NO... I... - I don't believe you... You said I was revolting... filthy. Did you find Henrik Indridson filthy? Is he not related to you too... in a way? Why are you fine with him... but not me...?》, p. 8-9
《We were so lost in each other that night that I hadn't shown my discomfort. My dress, however, had clung to the marks left by the old man. Although Johan had ruthlessly torn the old man apart... ...tending to my bruises made me regret not giving the old man a thrashing myself. (I should have at least smashed in all his teeth...)》, p. 13-14
《- I couldn't understand why you endured the nightly beatings... ...and refused to return to your homeland. [...] All my questions were answered... ...when I saw what you did with your brother in the rain. Despite my initial revulsion... ...I rather enjoyed hearing your moans. I barely managed to stop from pleasuring myself then and there.》, p. 18-19
《The insults he whispered in my ear were like daggers in my back. And it was not blood that gushed from those wounds... ...but ANGER.

《- Where have you been...? - ...I was right here. This whole time. I WAS RIGHT HERE BESIDE YOU. - ...... Liar.》, p. 40-41
《- It's easy to see how close you two are. When he's with you, he's a totally different person from the man who was arguing over a carriage.》, p. 71
《I just... ...wanted so desperately to see him, Kretschmann. Even if it was a dream... ...why would I ever do SUCH A THING? I had cut off Johan's head with my own two hands. It made me wish all the more to see Johan alive and well.》, p. 74-75
《There, in the arms of a peasant girl... ...I cried my heart out. I wasn't particularly sad. But just as mercury expels toxins... ...I cried to expel the poison accumulating inside me. Other than the hell within me... ...I had nothing to fear.》, p. 77-78
《- I'D RATHER YOU HATE ME... ...THAN LOOK AT ME DIFFERENTLY...! [...] - I'm scared that you might change... So scared that it's driving me insane... [...] - YOU WERE FRIGHTENED OF ME, INETTE.

[...] - So Inette... ...It's fine if you hate me... ...but please stay with me. Just...》, p. 88-93
《Johan has done so many things for me. While some were my requests... ...most were usually clumsy gestures for my attention. (How could I possibly fear someone so pitiful...?》, p. 137-138
《As our breaths intermingled... ...he slowly entered me. All thoughts were driven out... ...as we repeated the same motions... ...again and again, deep into the night.》, p. 146-147
《Could there be anyone who knows hate like I do, Kretschmann? An insane mother who forced a chastity belt upon me. A father who sold me off to pay for armaments. A little brother who cared more about his older brother's station than his sister's life. A nanny who tattled to him about every single thing. An old man who caused me nothing but pain. An the man who instigated the abuse -- THE PERSON I LOATHE MOST IN THE ENTIRE WOLRD. And yet, instead of any of them... ...the one I so utterly despised... ...that I continually killed him in my dreams... ...was JOHAN?》, p. 155-157
《- How do you find... ...our THIRD PRISON CELL? Is it to your liking? It's just like the room mother and father locked us in... ...or the one where old man Indridson held us captive. Only this one, we accepted on the childish belief that Johannes did it out of love. [...] - WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?! JOHAN'S NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO HURT ME! HOW COULD YOU... ...COMPARE JOHAN TO SOMEONE INHUMAN?! - ...Slaps and kicks... ...aren't the only form of violence, Giovinetta.》, p. 159-161
《If it's not because I DESPISE him... ...could it be because it EXCITES me? Because I want to see his pitiful form writhe beneath my feet...? IS THAT WHY I WANT TO KILL HIM?》, p. 174
《Love, you say. How can you be so certain? It's a feeling you can neither see nor touch... it's like an illusion... Not being allowed to see something makes you want to look, and being told not to do something makes you want to do it, like a moth to a flame.》, p. 178
《- As you recovered, the bruises started to fade... But that knight... ...kept doing beastly things to you day in and day out. It was clear to me that you were... ...ENDURING his treatment. How could I possibly report you for that? If I did... ...it would just be too pitiful...
I was stunned -- Not because this country girl sympathized with me... ...but because of what she said...》, p. 184-186
《- WH-WHAT'S THE POINT OF DECORATING THIS ROOM? I-I'LL ADMIT, THE FURNISHINGS ARE LOVELY, I'M A LITTLE ENVIOUS -- BUT STILL! IF THE PRICE IS FREEDOM... ...THEN I'D RATHER NOT HAVE THEM!》, p. 188

《I think he'd let me... ...stab and tear him to pieces without any resistance.
- FOR I AM HIS WEAKNESS. [...] - What a fearsome woman you are. To so nonchalantly say that one must be ready to put their life on the line to love you -- ...Oh. So that's why you picked him.》, p. 233-234
《- Johannes Valdemar, famed Devil of Ducommun... ...and Giovinetta, his twin sister and keeper of said devil. You two make quite the pair. - Keeper of the Devil... That's far better than "Lady Devil." I like it.》, p. 235-236
《My body was vehemently rejecting the thought of Johan's death. Just like how I am Johan's weakness... ...he was mine. [...] - How I long for... ...your eyes... But... ...I'll never be able to have them. Because I'll never be able to leave Johan's side. I love Johan... ...and I also want to hurt him. Does that contradiction make sense to you? Am I going crazy? Am I becoming my mother...?》, p. 242-244
《Henrik's breath lingered on my chest... ...then slowly descended down my body. He was so focused on my reactions... ...that he UTTERLY failed to notice... ...the sound... ...OF MY DEVIL APPROACHING...》, p. 248-249
《- ...If his body can't be destroyed... ...CRUSH HIS SPIRIT INSTEAD, GIOVINETTA.》, p. 254
《Kretschmann, I must confess -- It wasn't Henrik's lips that made my body burn with desire. With each step... ...my dear Johan was drawing closer to his glorious demise. That was what aroused me more than anything else.》, p. 255-257
《(No... If Henrik leaves now... ...then Johan won't get to see who I was with.) - Don't go, Henrik Indridson.
Any hesitation or shame I felt... ...was short-lived.
- ...How could you think about leaving me... ...in such a state? Oh I see. Do the men of Indridson not know how to satisfy a woman in bed? - Giovinetta, don't... - I knew it. I thought that old father of yours wouldn't lie with me... ...because he was too old and weak. But perhaps it's because he didn't know how to please a woman. That's why your four previous mothers all had those affairs. Your father could never win the battle in the bedroom. And you're no different, are you? That's why you, like your old man... ...have no confidence in pleasuring... ...a woman as experienced as me. - HNGH... D -- DAMN YOU, WOMAN...!
(Ah... Welcome back.)
My shining sun...》, p. 259-266
《- ...You didn't even try to hide it. Well... I suppose there's no point in trying... ...because I would know... ...the sound of my woman's voice.》, p. 275
《- I... I... I've always known... ...that you... ...don't care for me... ...and want to make a fool of me... I...knew that, but... INETTE. Why? Why can't I have all of your love?》, p. 277-278
《- You tamed me like a beast, then deceived me. You live as if you're your own person during the day... ...but then whisper that you belong entirely to me at night...》, p. 281
《- Johan, the longer I stay with you, the more useless I become. We were born on the same day, from the same womb... ...but I lack everything you have. [...] - Now, being loved by a shameless man like you... ...is the only power I have left. And that just makes it all the more humiliating.》, p. 288-290
