The aims of the researchare (1) To investigate the understanding of students who were taught using the Webtoon application, (2) To investigate the reading comprehension of students who were not taught using the Webtoon application, (3) To find out significant differences between students who were taught using and without using the Webtoon application. In this research, the researchers used quantitative and qualitative research design. 30 students from one class in class IXG at SMPN 2 Karangrayung Grobogan were used as research subjects. Pre-test, post-test and questionnaire are data collection methods. The results show that the pre-test score is higher than the post-test score. This shows that there is a significant difference between students who are taught using and without using the Webtoon application, namely that there is no increase in theirreading comprehension. This data is also supported by students' statements in answering questionnaire where students admitted that this Webtoon application was not helpful enough to improve students' reading comprehension, because students were too focused on looking at images rather than understanding the text.
