<Manjuga> is a new Gasa material hitherto unknown to academia. The purpose of this study is to analyse the world of this work, and to clarify the literary historical significance of this work. In chapter 2, it have reviewed <Manjuga> in general aspects. The length of this Gasa are 234 lines when we count 4 foots as 1 line. This Gasa has created in the last period of Japanese colonial rule. I presumed that the writer of this Gasa was a old and intellectual male living in the country. The text of this Gasa has many error in the process of re-scripting the original text. In chapter 3, it have analysed the world of this work. This Gasa has the three worlds of work. The most important world of this Gasa is ‘the reality of Korea and the devastating Korean's appearance being forced to mobilize by Japanese’. The second world of this work is ‘the writer's asks to Korean’. The third world of this work is ‘the criticism and curse to Japanese’. Finally in chapter 4, it have clarified the literary historical significance of this work. In the history of Gasa, many Gasa works which respond to the reality of history and society have always been. <Manjuga> has inherited this tradition of Gasa writing. Specially <Manjuga> has a significance to created by contemporary writer, not by future generation. And <Manjuga> has a significance to have the unique form that no one tries in the history of Gasa.
