Mignon: Special Box Set w/USB

By Bboungbbangkkyu
Mignon is stuck living a vicious life as he joins underground cage fights every night. Facing constant violence and exploitation, he finds solace in Doctor Oh, the ring's mysterious doctor who shows genuine concern for him. Despite his growing feelings, Mignon is content with their current relationship…until he discovers the doctor's bloodthirsty identity and takes the chance to offer his help. Just as he can feel Doctor Oh's heart opening to him, Mignon's risky decisions come back to bite him—but he isn't the only one whose dangerous lifestyle threatens to drag them down…

Digitally serialized on Lezhin, Mignon is a captivating BL manhwa following the romance between a kindhearted boxer and a reserved vampire. Mechanic by day and fighter by night, Mignon endures a brutal life of exploitation and violence. His only source of comfort is Doctor Oh, the quiet physician who treats his injuries. Even after learning that Doctor Oh is a vampire who secretly feeds on the blood of his patients, Mignon is determined to break through the doctor's emotional walls and pursue a relationship with him.

Readers can now collect the complete comic series in one premium package. The Mignon: Special Box Set w/USB includes both volumes of the comic and special photocards. It also features a USB containing the complete uncensored hour-long animated film, along with an exclusive eleven-minute side story animation. As the digital media landscape continues to evolve, physical editions offer readers a lasting way to enjoy the stories they love. This collector's box set provides a permanent home for Mignon, allowing readers to revisit the series whenever they like, independent of changes to digital platforms or online availability. The Mignon: Special Box Set w/USB is a must-have for BL fans looking for quick yet intense reads, grumpy/sunshine relationship dynamics, and spicy animated scenes.

When a piece of intel with disturbing implications on international power balance is uncovered, it falls on Taekjoo Kwon, an agent at NIS, to go on a top secret mission to Russia with one goal—track down the mysterious weapon, code-named “Anastasia,” which could threaten global peace! But what can one agent do by himself in an unfamiliar land? Thankfully, he has been set up with a capable local collaborator named Zhenya. But the bad news? The strikingly handsome Russian agent is about as stable as a Molotov cocktail—switching from a friendly, easygoing persona to that of a stone-cold murderer within moments! And making matters more complicated, Zhenya seems to have taken a keen interest in Taekjoo…
