Captivating millions of readers around the world
Alex Norris's buzzworthy graphic novel!

Author Alex Norris, who has garnered 12 million cumulative views and resonated with countless readers, has compiled and published the webtoon series 『The Rescue of a Lost Love』.
The author says he wanted to include more fundamental content in this book so that it could have a meaningful impact on people's lives.
Instead of offering formulaic advice, he leads readers to reexamine the nature of relationships by asking questions that encourage introspection, such as, "What kind of person am I and what kind of love am I capable of?"


As a result, the book won the 2024 ALCS Education Writer's Award, the UK's most prestigious educational non-fiction award, with the judges praising it as "a warm and witty work that takes a broad approach to the many forms of love."
Additionally, the work, which contained both humor and insight, received international attention by being nominated as a finalist for the “Eisner Awards,” known as the Oscars of the comics world.

For those who never give up on love no matter how many times they fall
The most cheeky and hilarious dating guide

With so many books and media devoted to love, why do we still have no answers?

The author points out the reason for this: 'Because the answer to love is sought only from outside.'
Ultimately, this book reminds us that in order to love others, we must first understand and love ourselves.

This book is largely divided into four situations.

It deals with the story of being alone, falling in love, being together, and finally, the moment of separation and new beginning.


When you're alone, it deals with situations where you worry, such as, "Is love really necessary?" and "What should I do when I get lonely?"
Falling in love broadly addresses the confusion that arises, such as, "Why do I feel more awkward around the person I like?" and "What if the other person confuses me?"
When we're together, we even deal with conflicting elements such as, "Is jealousy good or bad?" and "Why do people abandon their friendships when they have a lover?"
Lastly, this book contains moments of breakup and new beginnings, such as, "Can we break up without hurting each other?" and "Can we remain friends after breaking up?"

Rather than listing each situation in a relationship, each chapter provides a practical framework that allows readers to look at love in a new way by pointing out issues that are easily overlooked at each stage.

Beyond 'Failed Love'
A book that rescues 'me' who is wandering in a ruined love.

“This book doesn’t say ‘How to love,’ but ‘Love in your own way.’”
The above is a review written by a reader who read this book.
Love is a familiar problem to everyone, but at the same time, it is one of the most difficult problems to solve.
Maybe the reason relationships keep going wrong isn't because of someone's wrongdoing, but because you don't know yourself well enough.
"The Rescue Method for Lost Love" is a book that fills that gap.


By following the questions posed in this book, readers will naturally reflect on their own relationships and face emotions they may have overlooked.
The moment we close the book, we no longer remain in a 'failed love' and are ready to move forward toward a love that is our own.

Most importantly, this book is not just a dating guide for readers; it changes their attitude towards life.
Beyond the limited relationships of love, you can learn how to understand yourself and connect healthily with others.
In the process, readers gain the power to transform confusion into reflection and failure into a new beginning.

"The Method of Rescuing Ruined Love" is ultimately not a book that rescues only ruined 'love', but a book that rescues 'me' who is wandering in ruined love.
