Summary
Jinx is a popular and often controversial Boys’ Love (BL) manhwa by Mingwa, known for its intense emotional drama and mature themes. It follows the turbulent relationship between a struggling physical therapist and a dominant MMA fighter.
Jinx follows Kim Dan, a struggling physical therapist burdened by debt and caretaking for his ailing grandmother. He’s offered a job by undefeated MMA champion Joo Jaekyung, who believes a ritualistic sexual encounter before matches breaks a personal “jinx.” Financial desperation leads Dan to accept a dangerous arrangement: therapeutic services in exchange for sexual fulfillment.
Jaekyung is domineering and emotionally stunted, exerting brutal control over Dan—physically, mentally, and sexually. The power imbalance, lack of boundaries, and repeated non‑consensual encounters define the core dynamic.
