"GET SCHOOLED", A Graphic Novel Based On The Hit Korean Webtoon, Coming Soon Via Publisher ABLAZE

Comics publisher ABLAZE recently announced a new title to add to its manhwa and webtoon-inspired catalogs this summer. That title is hit series GET SCHOOLED which will be seeing a print release on July 25th. Details and more can be found below!

The gritty action series by Yongtaek Chae and Garam Han is based on a smash hit webtoon produced by the renowned Korean webtoon production company, YLAB, and has drawn strong international audience acclaim. In GET SCHOOLED, Hwajin Na’s teaching techniques are violent for a bureaucrat from the Ministry of Education. But when punishments don't seem to work on even the worst of school bullies, there is no better man for the job. Sometimes you can’t get a good education until those bullies are taught a lesson.

“We are extremely proud to announce the addition of this title to the ABLAZE print catalog,” says Rich Young. “GET SCHOOLED has built a strong following as a webtoon, and the graphic novel debut from ABLAZE will allow fans to enjoy this tense action drama in a whole new way and will provide a great entry point for new readers. The juncture between webtoons and manhwa is strong and continues to develop a global audience. We invite readers to GET SCHOOLED this summer.”

It is the near future, and student violence in schools is out of control. In a questionnaire survey for teachers, 98.6% say it is far more challenging to teach students than in the past, and 85.8% say it is not only more challenging but now dangerous.

Eventually due to out-of-control youth violence, a teacher is murdered, and the news goes everywhere. As a result, public opinion calling for rapid changes to juvenile law boils over in all parts of the country.

The Ministry of Education and the National Assembly, feeling the seriousness of the collapse of the teaching authority, take the news very seriously and revise the Teaching Rights Protection Act, to create a single supervisory body. The name of the supervisory body is the Office of the Protection of Educational Rights.

Hwajin Na becomes a supervisor of the Educational Rights Protection Bureau and is sent to a school where the collapse of the school authority is severe. His teaching techniques are violent for someone who works in the Ministry of Education. But when punishments don't seem to work on even the worst of school bullies, there is no better man for the job. Sometimes you can’t get a good education until those bullies are taught a lesson...
