Have too much spare time this weekend or holiday season? Well, it's time to read, a LOT! Here are several series of manga and manhwa that might got your attention. With amusing story line, unique character and beautiful art, the list will steal your time and make you read through the day. Here are my recommendation list of manga and manhwa:

1. Eleceed 

Genre: Comedy, Light, Shounen Ai, supernatural, super power, colorful, great art

Eleceed is a Naver webtoon written by the writer of Noblesse, Son Jeho, and the artist of Girls of the Wild's, Zhena (Kim Hye-jin). Jiwoo is a kind-hearted young man who harnesses the lightning quick reflexes of a cat to secretly make the world a better place – one saved little child or foster pet at a time. Kayden is a secret agent on the run, who finds himself stuck in the body of a…um…decidedly fat old fluffy cat. Together, armed with Jiwoo’s super powers and Kayden’s uber-smarts, they’re out to fight those forces who would let evil rule this world. That is, if they can stand each other long enough to get the job done.

However, while succumbing to his injuries, a peculiar voice echoes in his mind, and recites a bunch of commands which the dying man cannot make sense of.

When Satoru regains consciousness, he discovers that he has reincarnated as a goop of slime in an unfamiliar realm. In doing so, he acquires newfound skills—notably, the power to devour anything and mimic its appearance and abilities. He then stumbles upon the sealed Catastrophe-level monster "Storm Dragon" Verudora who had been sealed away for the past 300 years for devastating a town to ashes. Sympathetic to his predicament, Satoru befriends him, promising to assist in destroying the seal. In return, Verudora bestows upon him the name Rimuru Tempest to grant him divine protection.
