Dark Moon: The Blood Altar is based on a webcomic inspired by the K-pop group ENHYPEN. The comic began in 2022 and is part of Webtoon’s Super Casting project, “a new group of partnerships with global entertainment companies to create webcomics or web novels for each platform.” Webtoon describes Dark Moon: The Blood Altar as:
Welcome to Riverfield, where the most popular boys at two rival schools happen to be vampires and werewolves. When a mysterious new student, Sooha, transfers to Riverfield, the rivals find themselves inexplicably drawn to her. As horrible incidents start to shake the town, the boys’ forgotten pasts slowly start to unravel… and their world turns upside down.
The HYBE entertainment company is credited as the webcomic’s creator and has also produced similar works, some in the format of web novels, in collaboration with BTS and TOMORROW X TOGETHER.
Ize Press publishes the webcomic’s physical volumes in English.
