WEBTOON Sensation Lumine Leaps to Animation

After racking up a staggering half-billion views, Emma Krogell's beloved WEBTOON series Lumine is officially getting an animated adaptation. This is huge news for fans who have followed the supernatural fantasy romance since its debut in 2017.

Webtoon Productions and OuiDo! Productions are teaming up to bring the popular title to the screen. Lumine, known for its charming art style and heartfelt story about a young werewolf boy and his magical adventures, concluded its serialization earlier this year. Its immense popularity, evidenced by over 550 million views, makes it a prime candidate for a major animated series.

This announcement signals a significant expansion of WEBTOON's strategy, further cementing their push into original animation. It also highlights a growing trend of webtoons, both Korean and Western-originated, making the leap to the animated medium. With OuiDo! Productions, known for their work on titles like Miraculous Ladybug, on board, fans can expect a vibrant and dynamic adaptation. While specific details on release dates or animation style are still under wraps, the confirmation alone is enough to send ripples through the fandom.
