The mega-hit webtoon True Beauty may be over, but there’s a True Beauty anime that fans should definitely check and, and here are all the details, including where to watch it.
For those who haven’t read the original webtoon, True Beauty may still be familiar courtesy of its K-drama adaptation which became a massive hit when it was released back in 2020.
The K-drama is streaming in select countries/regions in Asia via Netflix, though the anime isn’t streaming on the platform.
All you need to know about the True Beauty anime adaptation
In case you missed it, the True Beauty webtoon has a new animated series adaptation. While many are calling it an anime given its style, for those who strictly define anime as a Japanese production, this isn’t exactly an anime. That’s because this show is produced by Studio N which is based in Korea.
Whether or not you’d like to call it an anime, what’s certain is that fans of the webtoon should give this one a try. The show premiered in most of the world on August 7. As such, there’s only one episode, with more episodes getting released weekly.

As for where to watch it, the True Beauty anime is streaming on Crunchyroll. This is no surprise given that Crunchyroll announced back in Anime NYC 2023 that it has licensed the series.
Yes, that means the first episode of the show is now available on Crunchyroll in most of the world, including Asian countries like the Philippines. This should be good news for fans given that some shows are not available in Asia through Crunchyroll.
True Beauty is far from the first webtoon to get an animated series adaptation. After all, there are other popular titles like Solo Leveling and Tower of God which are also based on webtoons or manhwa.
