This is one of the most enchanting and heart-rending comics I’ve read. The way emotions from grief to elation are drawn is stunningly evocative. This comic is an example of incredible emotional storytelling. The journey was blissful and poignant. Sometimes it was disturbing and terrifying. Sometimes it was so tragic that it made my heart hurt. But it was always, always beautiful. Every panel is breathtaking. I love this story so much. It feels like magic.

The art work is absolutely gorgeous and stunning, the story is amazing too. This guy is adopted by his uncle and as he grows up, he wants to live independently and not depend on his uncle, so the uncle asks for a favour where he asked him to go live at his grandmother's old home and take care of it. The young man agrees, and when he goes to his grandmother's place, he discovers a room that was always locked by his grandmother and no one was allowed to go in. He decides to see what was so special about the room and he opens the door to find a bath room? A spa kinda, exquisite and traditionally decorated. The man decides to take a bath and finds a ball.
As soon as he touches the ball, a genie comes out of it.. or well a mermaid? A creature? This creature is beautiful and sucks the man's blood. The guy faints, wakes up only to discover, not a dream, rushes out and stuff. Basically the creature won't go away and somehow when it becomes hungry, it can telepathically call the guy. They both get accustomed to each other and the guy explores who this mystical creature is.

Some of the most beautiful art I’ve seen in a web series. A beautiful and sweet depiction of love and grief, with a well rounded cast of characters. I thought there’d be a bit more going on with Myst’s backstory, some wild plot twists at the end, but I think being a quieter, more bittersweet revelation actually worked perfectly for the story. I wouldn’t mind a spin off about Lala.

I have come across this story page cover before many’s of times while I was looking for a manga or Webtoon to read and I have finally got the chance to see what the story was like. First of all, the art was absolutely stunning, I did like Winter Woods and Cry, or Better Yet, Beg so I was expecting it to be like an art exhibition. It really does give you the feel of the “little mermaid” vibes except FL came out of a marble with a different not as a fish which was clever enough to make you want to read more. However as soon as both leads were starting to admit each others feelings a bit too early for me, I just felt the whole storyline didn’t really offer much more to say the least. I felt the premise was getting boring, especially useless side characters that were really annoying af. I was so dissapointed as I really really wanted to like this work from Van.J since I liked the other two mentioned. I also thought the FL and ML were pretty bland in the end unfortunately…

Garam Lee es una artista muy reconocido que se hizo famoso con una serie de retratos donde nunca había explicado en donde había sacado la inspiración para la creación de estos… hasta ahora. Seongun Kim es una reportera de blossom y es quien entrevistará a Garam Lee, para descubrí en quien o que se inspiró para pintar las obras que lo hicieron reconocido.
Garam Lee conoció a myst cuando tenía 20 años en primavera, ocurrió cuando vivía en una aldea rural junto al mar. El profesor (la persona que lo adoptó luego de que su madre falleciera) le propuso que se mudara a una casa en medio del bosque, la casa de la madre del profesor, pero lastimosamente ella había fallecido y la casa había quedado vacía…el profesor la cuidó solo durante años, entonces el profesor le pidió a Garam que cuidara de la casa por una temporada. Y es aquí donde conocerá al Myst.
Este cómics es hermoso de ver. Es una bendición para los ojos, Myst es un personaje HERMOSÍSIMO, mis ojos eran bendecidos cada vez que salía. En general el arte de este cómics es bellísimo, me encanta la técnica y la papeleta de colores que es utilizada, sumando que la trama es muy intrigante, tiene muchísimo potencial y eso que apenas vamos empezando.

¡Mi manwha favorito de todos los tiempos!
Lo leí cuando estaba en proceso de publicación en weebtoon en el 2020 - 2022. Que nostalgia me causa 🥹.
El arte es demasiado hermoso, no he podido encontrar algo similar, Myst es la personaje más bonita que mis ojos hayan visto. En verdad que adoro este manwha 🩷🌸.

The artwork is so magnificent that the quality of the story cheapens in comparison.

It is one of the most beautiful Webtoons I have ever read. I can't believe I have reached its end.
Mystical is a mix of the most charming, enchanting, and, at the same time, heart-tugging moments revolving around grief, friendship, curiosity, and bliss. Every page is just pure, genuine innocence and beauty. How can you skip such an incredible story and breathtakingly illustrated panels? I found myself crying, laughing, excited, and a Filipino emotion depicting giddiness and happiness due to love—kilig!
Every aspect of Garam Lee's life in the Webtoon is a treasure trove of lessons we can all relate to or learn from. It's a must-read for anyone who has the chance. I'm eagerly anticipating more splendid creations from this author.

Reading '신비 1 (Mystical, Vol. 1)' by Van. J felt like a much-needed reality check.. the connection between individual behavior and institutional leverage is seamless, essential reading for anyone looking to break free from the echo chamber.
