Lore Olympus

Finished: 280 episodes across three seasons, ending June 2, 2024. Rachel Smythe's Hades and Persephone retelling is the gateway romance webtoon for good reason. The pink-and-blue palette makes the attraction visible before anyone admits it, and the slow build between a lonely, overworked Hades and a young goddess finding her own power pays off across the whole run. It has two Eisner Awards to its name. Go in knowing it deals directly with rape, harassment, abuse and trauma; the story treats Persephone's recovery seriously, but some readers will want that warning before starting.
