Semantic Error (Volume 1) offers a promising start to what looks to be an intriguing enemies-to-lovers dynamic. The webtoon immediately sets up its central conflict: Sangwoo, the rigid and by-the-book computer science major, clashes with Jaeyong, the free-spirited and somewhat mischievous design student. Their personalities couldn’t be more opposite, which makes for some amusing (and often tension-filled) interactions.
This first volume focuses on setting the stage and introducing the characters. While their animosity is clear, the romantic aspect takes a backseat for now. However, there are subtle hints—particularly in Jaeyong’s intrigued and teasing demeanor—that suggest there’s more brewing beneath the surface. Sangwoo, on the other hand, remains focused on his academic priorities, making his reactions to Jaeyong’s antics even more entertaining.
The artwork is vibrant and expressive, perfectly capturing the comedic and emotional beats of their exchanges. It’s easy to get drawn into their world, even if the romance isn’t front and center just yet.
Having read the full story, I can confidently say that Semantic Error blossoms beautifully into a heartfelt enemies-to-lovers romance. This first volume is a strong introduction, and I have no doubt readers will fall in love with the journey as much as I did. Fans of slow-burn relationships and opposites-attract stories will want to keep an eye on this series!

Semantic Error is a manhwa following two Korean university students with a rivalry. Sangwoo Choo prevented Jaeyoung Jang from graduating, so he schemes to make the former's life miserable. I enjoyed the pacing of this first volume and am interested to see where these two's relationship goes next. Thanks to Yen Press and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
