[Spoiler Alert!!]

Aletheia stands for "God of War". It also bring the meaning of truth or disclosure. This? God of war? You've got to be kidding me. That.. well first of all, I need to remind you to never judge a book by its cover. Cuz from my point of view, that picture is seriously messed up. It looks like a.. zombie? a dead person maybe?

So basically Manhwa is the term Korean's use for comic and printed cartoons.

Reason.. reason.. If i had to give one, its because the main character reminds me of Aru Kise from Mirai Nikki (Future Diary)

Aru Kise (Mirai Nikki)

Aletheia Manhwa

See?? What did I tell ya.Their looks are quite similar. Especially those eyes. Aletheia starts off with a little bit of explanation of the main character. Sunwoo Yun was an experiment born from "human" and were experimented with non-human ways. Nevertheless, he still craves for the attention from the one he so calls "mother". That's what happened when you were locked, and prisoned inside of a glass room all your life, on top of that a surveillance of almost 24/7.

Sunwoo Yun all by himself

The world already had come to a point where one starts the search for immmortality and that research facility was located in Korea. Yeah.. Who would've stomach the thought?

This was set back eight years ago, when he was still a kid

So, bibbity bobbity boo, we skip to how he got into trouble. He spotted a bomb terrorist inside of a subway. A suspicious passenger inside of a moving train. Its soo fishy, that people could take their eyes off him with his steel suitcase and whatnot.

Dat shiny shuspicious looking suitcase

He starts to fight off these terrorists because somebody were killed. Solving the truth the terrorist trying to hide, Sunwoo Yun was revealed to be an only clone known to the exact original that still lives (out of many clones that have been killed), the ruthless and cold blooded version of him before which was revealed later to be Poongwolju.
