The Broken Ring, Volume 4

Her mind may be focused on divorce, but her heart is starting to say otherwise. . . . The manhwa adaptation of CHACHA KIM'S webnovel continues in this fourth volume.

After Inés’s sudden illness, Cárcel is determined to track down her previous doctor to ensure that she will never be without access to the medicine that saved her life. But when the butler Alfonso learns that Inés and her loyal servant Raúl are hiding the true nature of her malady, he threatens to expose their deceit to Cárcel and all of high society.

Inés, however, is far more concerned about keeping her divorce plans in motion—and she’s utterly baffled to find herself feeling all sorts of emotions for the husband she has always planned to leave. As Cárcel showers her with adoration in the present and haunts her dreams of the past, Inés’s path forward becomes hazier than ever. . . .

Volume 4 collects episodes 43–56 of the webcomic The Broken Ring: This Marriage Will Fail Anyway.

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
