Basic Info
그녀의 소환수 (Geunyeoui Sohwansu) also know in English as "Her Summon" is a Manhwa made by Jin-Jun Park and is about a Guy called Jin Kyung. The Manhwa has a very eye pleasing look to it, The design of the characters and Monsters/Demons are executed very nicely, but we'll get to that point further on in the review. (I'm 80 Chapters into the Story currently as of writing this review.)
(I'll try to not spoil any of the major story plots in this review, but be aware that I have to bring some insight about bits of the Story for you to understand this Review.)
Summary
The Story is about a young guy named Jin Kyung who still lives with his parents (most likely in his twenties.) who called himself a Pedophile on live-air by mistake, because of which he closes himself in his room and ends up getting Social Anxiety Disorder. Jin Kyung is a ordinary guy, he isn't smart nor is he strong, but by chance he gets Summoned by a young summoner girl called Ai to her world, where she asks him to fight a giant monster-moth, luckily, in his world he was ranting to his figurine about how he'll protect her from a mosquito, and because of that he had also brought bug spray with him, when he tries to defeat the moth-monster with the Spray, it actually works and that's how Jin Kyung learns that he is very powerful in the parallel world that he was summoned to.
This is just the beginning of the Story of course, but the story from now on goes similarly to what I've described to you before, (Jin Kyung gets summoned by Ai, Jin says something embarrassing, defeats the Monster (most of the times with ease) and later on different shenanigans happen.)
In short, the story in neither something extraordinary, but neither is it bad. It's executed decently enough for it to be a solid 6/10 in my eyes.
The Art
The Art is by far the best part of this Manhwa, the backgrounds, monster designs and even the characters are basically eye-candy. I would even go as far to say that this is one of the best looking Manhwas/Mangas/Mahuas that I've read so far!
One of the subtle touches that I really like is how the "Normal" World of Jin is portrayed. At first before the incident it looks normal, but after he gets diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder and becomes a shut-in the world suddenly appears White & Black. Life for Jin basically loses all meaning, on the other hand, the world which to he gets summoned to is bright right from the beginning, because there he can be someone that matters, and actually isn't powerless. I really like how the creators portrayed this and how this begins to change after Jin slowly starts to accept himself.
Anyways, let's get to the best part of the Art, the backgrounds and the Monster/Demon design.
(Warning the following pictures can be slight spoilers for the Manhwa, beware!)
This following picture is from chapter 1 :
As we can see, the design is very interesting, the first enemy, is a colossus monster-moth towering over the clouds, and that's pretty much the first thing Jin sees in this new world.

Next picture shows off how much effort actually went into every page of this manhwa and how easily it is to see how talented the creator is.

The Art in this Manhwa is truly beautiful, and it gets a 10/10 from me.

Closing WordsIf you're searching for a Manhwa with a decent enough story, and some really nice art, then Her Summon will be right up your alley, just remember that the story has the obvious problems that also other Manhwas have (Like some very cringey writing from time to time, a mandatory "love" story etc.) it has some cliches, but overall it's still a enjoyable story about a Guy who gets summoned into a parallel world to help his Summoner out, and also begins to open up to people because of his adventures in this new world.
I give Her Summon an Overall Score of 70/100.
