COPYCAT: A New Manhwa from the Creators of Sweet Home and Bastard Worth Following

COPYCAT is a new manhwa by Carnby Kim with art by Youngchan Hwang, the same creative duo many readers know from Sweet Home and Bastard. Its genre sits in thriller, mystery, and psychological suspense, with a dark tone and disturbing imagery that make it better suited for mature readers.

The opening follows a serial killer who stages victims as shocking pieces of “art” and sells them to wealthy collectors. In the first two chapters, the story centers on Suchan Kim, a failed artist who realizes the killer’s concept looks painfully close to an idea he once had.

No spoilers beyond that, but the hook is strong because COPYCAT asks an ugly question: when does art become obsession, and when does the need for recognition turn dangerous? That kind of tension fits Carnby Kim perfectly, especially if you enjoyed the pressure of Bastard and the psychological weight of Sweet Home.

There are currently 37 chapters available, which makes this a great time to jump in. If you want a new manhwa with crime, mystery, and a heavy psychological edge, COPYCAT is worth keeping on your weekly list.
