The story of He’s the Black Dragon revolves around the blossoming love between a male and female student who initially crossed paths through an online video game in the early 2000s, where they both played as characters.
The main focus of the webtoon is on the central relationship that drives the story and delves into themes of self-discovery, relationships, and the blurred boundaries between reality and the digital realm.
