Hmm, I always thought Korean women were taller than Japanese women on average but, I guess not. At least not according to wikipedia.

I thought so too! Most Japanese girls I've met were shorter than me, and I'm only 5'4". Whenever I look at the heights of Japanese celebrities, it surprises me how short they are. Generally, I think Japanese and Southeastern Asians are kinda short. Northern Chinese and Koreans are usually average or tall, because we share similar genes.

direct result of selective breeding that favour short,small,weak women.

(Doesn't say it's from ssamba, but pretty sure Comico asked the different webtoon authors to draw their respective manhwa characters to make up that promotional banner.)

Updated the cropped picture with a version with the background stuff removed.

Nice, what series is that with the silver haired fight heroine?

Fan art-- err, author art by ssamba:

i love that the art drawn by the author is there in front and its very easy to crop it without looking like its only a part of a huge image unlike the others :)

Is there a primer on how to sign up for a comico acct for those of us who can't read Korean?

I'm pretty sure when Norae and seola will be changed women when they go back to seoul :)

Not going to lie, I wish ssamba would color her other chapters like she did with this piece. Maybe it's just the style or time constraint that affected her other pieces, this is especially nice to look at as the colors are clean and in line.

Hm... I would assume it's time constraint. It takes a lot more of time to color it clean and in line after all.

That's also what I assume.

You can see that the FF official art tend to be a bit more detailed, "sharper" and better colored than the art in the chapters.
Examples:

http://i.imgur.com/3XGWIx5.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/C86SUfN.jpg
So, that tells me that ssamba can draw and color like this; it's just that it probably takes way more time.

To be honest, I actually prefer this sketch-like style of drawing, even if it's actually to "cut corners". I find that it gives a "raw" quality to the drawings and that it has its own charm. Well, that's just me anyway.

Some manga try to have "perfect" artwork everywhere and all the time. There's nothing wrong with that either. Citrus is one series where most people agree that the artwork is great. (Not gonna talk about the story...) The drawings are pretty much always detailed, even background elements. And that's nice in its own way.

But personally, when I'm reading a story, especially for the first time, I focus mostly on the story, and I don't especially pay attention to things such as, say, how well drawn that table in the background is. But of course, foreground elements, as in elements "in focus" in a given panel, need to be somewhat detailed, because if a foreground element is not detailed enough, it could be too noticeable and detract from the story. Often, foreground elements are people. And that's fine in the case of FF, since ssamba usually gives more detail to characters, especially their faces.

Furthermore, if ssamba went for a Citrus-like level of drawing detail, I would assume we would not be getting a new chapter every week. And if I had to choose between weekly updates or nicer drawings, I would definitely choose weekly updates.

I love sketchy art styles as well, plus that doesn't mean the drawings can't be complex ( ie. Samura Hiroaki.)

Do you know how we get more "C" or "P" ? I know I've been randomly getting more "P", though I don't really understand the mechanics behind it?

Side note: I've been hearting FF on comico ^-^

Yeah I did have in mind that maybe style has to do with it but seeing how the art's been changing over the chapters I'm leaning more towards the lack of time. Or intentional change of style? Who knows :I

Glad you like it! No fancy video editor nor editing skills for me (stuck with Window Movie Maker) but I'll be making another one this month. This time the image quality won't suck so badly haha, and choosing songs is fun!

I want to read the new chapter so badly, but I guess there's going to be no Seol-a x No-rae interaction. Probably Seol-a learning about No-rae's past from So-seol. Perhaps also unconsciously giving hints to the brother about her relationship with No-rae. And No-rae will be thinking to herself about the decision she made last night. If she came to one.

Fan art by lpzwei:

No-rae’s nephew was really cute so I imagined No-rae and Seol-a meeting as little children.

It is done! I did it through the iPad app and it was pretty simple.

Stupid question: When you unlock chapters on comico, is there a way for them to stay unlocked forever or is it always temporary?

@halmoni: I have not thanked you for your translation in quite sometimes, sooo thanks you!

So no early chapter today - I'm so easily spoiled, hehe

Stupid question: When you unlock chapters on comico, is there a way for them to stay unlocked forever or is it always temporary?

it is always temporary unless you buy them with coins, if I got it right, i.e. you need to pay for them with your money to get unlimited access.

So, I know that there's a new chapter on comico every monday, but is it uploaded at a random time or is there a specific hour? Like LINE webtoons (English) is usually uploaded around 11AM.

Thanks! I was hoping otherwise but it makes sens, I guess it's not profitable for comico nor ssamba.

d.d.d.:

So, I know that there's a new chapter on comico every monday, but is it uploaded at a random time or is there a specific hour? Like LINE webtoons (English) is usually uploaded around 11AM.

The new release schedule for Comico is:
6:00 AM Monday, Korea Standard Time (KST)
which is
5:00 PM Sunday, Eastern Time (ET)
2:00 PM Sunday, Pacific Time (PT)
so on.

Before, it used to be 6 hours earlier at:
12:00 AM Monday, Korea Standard Time (KST)

Comico changed to the new schedule a couple of weeks ago. And many people complained about it, not just international readers but Korean readers on Comico.

However, last week, we got a release 6 hours earlier, so we thought that they changed back to the old schedule, perhaps due all to the complaining.

But it might have been an exceptional one-time thing, because it's not happening this week.
