omg a first of summers is my favorite webtoon in a LONG time, im absolutely obsessed with it. i normally dont like age gap but they way its written and the art style has absolutely sold me on it. do you have any other works i can check out????

oooh weeee i'm flattered!! i wanted to make something about age gaps that might be a little more nuanced (although idk how well of a job i've done with it... whatever, i tried) so it makes me really happy when people tell me they like the way i handled the writing. and this is actually the first story i've ever written, my first original characters etc etc sooo i hope to get better with more experience!

i've read your tweet about hashimada and honestly everyday i pray to god that one day i'll be able to read a beautiful story about that farmer hashimada art you've made. but honestly as well, i'd read anything from you and i love your art dearly, sincerely and i hope you'll get all success possible to be achieved through your art (or anything you'd like to do). you're amazing and you touch people beautifully through your art.

oh my gaddd thank you you're so sweet 🥹 yeah that "farmer" hashimada doujin is an incomplete passion project of mine that i hope to finish one day i had the whole plot ready ahhhh... here are some sneak peaks

[sa2sugu]

heya!! i'll work on those soon as well as some q&a. i'll probably post them on twitter and not on here though, just fyi :333

hello! a first of summers has constantly been in my mind ever since I found it on lezhin. AMAZING ART, AMAZING CHARACTERS. I want to get something from here tattooed on myself, will you be okay with it?

kyaaaa of course of course of course! i wonder what design you'll get 🥹🥹

A First Of Summers means so much to me as a gay Korean. My Lez-Out-Summer is very different from Yeoreum’s Yaoi Summer lol. But reading your story helps me admire the transience of life, yet appreciate the fact that life is terribly, wonderfully long, all the same.

🥹💕💛🧡 thank you this means a lot! i hope to feature more old woman yuri (yeoreum’s aunt and her partner) and other realisitic queer experiences in future chapters, as much as i can in a commercial bl anyway lol i’m trying!!!

I just wanted to say that ‘a first of summers’ means so much to me. I find myself, (salaryman by day, Real Cowboy by night) relating to the characters, and am rooting for them to push through all their life’s problems. Meeting your characters has become motivation for me to do the same. Love the art as well. Everything about it. From the colours to the way you draw characters, to the way you have carefully captured intimate touches. I’m enamoured. Life is now good. Keep up the great work! <3

wowow thankssss. it was important to me that i write about regular people who try — to be better, to be good, and to give each other something. it's just way more interesting to me, and i think we all need that kind of attitude in life!

[sa2sugu]

thank you wahhhh!!!!

[sa2sugu]

So I read your comic and I thought the art is amazing and the story is interesting. meanwhile I follow you here on tumblr and always admired your art and it took me so long to know you're the creator of the comic 😭

You're amazing thank you for blessing us <3

be blessed..

i absolutely love ur webtoon the angst is so good rn anyways ive always loved the way you like put qoutes on the tshirts!! its sm fun:3 ty

heheheheheheheh thank you the shirt/funny little details in the background thing started only because i found it funny while i was drawing i had no idea people would catch onto them

[sa2sugu]

hi do you recomend reading in korean or english? like which one do you feel comes across more like you want? if that makes sense >_<

all translations are done by a separate translator and i'm not involved in any of the translation process, so definitely in korean if you have the option!!! if not, english is fine too obviously

[sa2sugu]

Hi! Just dropping by to let you know that I absolutely love your comic! I adore your artstyle and the way you draw the backgrounds, everything is so detailed and I can feel the love and care that youve put into this story. I was very moved in the chapters where Mr Lim comforted Yeoreum after he opened up a bit about his struggles, I think about his words often and they comfort me as well

Thank you so much for sharing it with us

hey omg thank you 😭😭 i’m never sure if people pay attention to the details because at the end of the day this is explicit yaoi so i often find myself wondering why i put in so much effort into things that people aren’t even really here for. i’m glad some people actually do pay attention 🥹 i think about lim’s words too! a lot of the message in a first of summers is also a reminder to myself so i’m glad some people resonate with it

[sa2sugu]

can i ask you dumb question? is there a reference in the last chapter to the song g-drangon 무제(無題) or am i tripping? (i’m so so so sorry in advance)

hmm sorry i have no idea what you're talking about 😬 but if you see a connection there, then i guess there is one!

[sa2sugu]

Honestly, I pulled up your comic because of the cute art and plot but actually got hooked in after the quick guitar lesson??? Never knew a BL would make me commit to practicing, but here we are, I guess 😂

haha that’s cute i love that. making this story is pushing me towards learning cello myself, which is something i’ve always wanted to learn 😭

[sa2sugu]

aaaah ive never paid to read any online webcomics before, but i just had to for yours! im really liking it so far and your artstyle has such a welcoming mood. the character writing feels really tangible and i just. aughghgh this is very very good 🫶🫶🫶🫶

thank you thank you thank you i know how easy and tempting it can be to read stuff for free so i thank anyone who buys the chapters and support me directly i need money to live

[sa2sugu]

thank you to the anon who sent me paragraphs and paragraphs of review 🥺🥺🥺 people taking the time to tell me what they like about my work and what they thought about it keeps me going, i think any creative person would agree. thank you!! also i'm like this with this weekly update schedule

[sa2sugu]

You had me at "a dude who's a little old getting dicked down by a younger dude"

✌️👌💪 I trust you to do an age gap story right. Rn I'm at the point in life where I can clearly remember being an adult at an age but I look at people who are that same age now and think about how young they are, when I know they also have lived full rich lives and had many experiences. I'm sure that never really changes no matter how old you get.

you get meeeeeee like you get me
