Abstract
The article analyzes a translation of polycode text, the first part of Chu Homin’s webtoon “Along with the Gods”. The work is a subject of great interest for research since the author borrows elements of traditional religious culture, namely the Buddhist and shamanistic views on the afterlife. Focusing on the characteristic aspects of the original work and features of the target language, the paper examines linguistic and extralinguistic translation challenges according to functional-communicative approach and approximation of the translation.
