UnOrdinary, published on the WEBTOON platform, is a webcomic written by Chelsey Han, better known as "uru-chan" (written only with lowercase letters). It tells the story of a powerless boy named John navigating a world full of super powered people. UnOrdinary focuses on how a society built on raw strength affects those at the bottom and the brutality of the institutions that are used to enforce it.[1][2][3][4]
uru-chan has received Ringo Awards three times (2017, 2018 and 2020), all for her work on UnOrdinary.[5][6][7]
