Jinwoo Sung is known as the weakest hunter and has trouble just staying alive during missions. If it weren't for his mother being in the hospital and the lack of other job oppotunities he wouldn't keep risking his life for mere pennies. When an opportunity to make more money arises Jinwoo doesn't hesitate, but this new mission becomes more dangerous than anyone anticipated. 

I believe this is the first Korean manga I've read, or manwha, as it's called then. It's a rather violent story, but exciting and in full color. I love the premise of an underdog who's not physically strong, but whose other qualities becomes crucial in life-threatening situations. To me this first volume was a hit, and I've already made a reservation for the next one at the library!
