Anisah Firdaus, Arif Sutrisno, Nuril Kusuma Wardani

Abstract


Bullying remains a significant problem among teenagers, causing severe psychological impacts on victims. This study aims to educate and build empathy among teenagers toward bullying victims through a digital comic titled Rough, published on the Webtoon platform. The research employed the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), focusing on how visual elements—such as character design, visual style, coloring, paneling, and expressions—enhance the effectiveness of message delivery. Expert validation on media scored 93.66% and material validation reached 94%. A user trial involving 30 high school students resulted in an average effectiveness score of 89.64%. These findings indicate that visualization in digital comics serves as an effective medium to convey bullying issues and foster empathy among teenagers.
