Now, fans can rejoice as Scholastic prepares to release the first volume as a hardcover and paperback on February 4, 2025. Originally a vertical scroll delight on WEBTOON, Saphie now steps into a new chapter with its print release.

Feline Antics for All Ages

While suggested for readers aged 7 to 10, Saphie’s charm transcends age limits. The story is numerous cat owners’ dream come true, bringing to life the exploits of a playful one-eyed feline and her equally mischievous housecat brothers. They delight in uproarious cat capers like scratching where they shouldn’t and knocking over random objects. JOHO’s wit and artistry let readers savor these relatable antics, perfectly packaged with a paw-sitive twist.

JOHO’s Creative Journey

JOHO boasts a BFA from George Mason University and humorously admits to descending from a "lineage of cat butlers." This heritage translates into an uncanny ability to illustrate feline narratives with a delightful flair. Beyond Saphie, JOHO lends her talent to another WEBTOON series, Love on Target, showcasing her knack for bringing playfulness and heart to her characters.

A Print Adventure Awaits

In moving from digital to print, Saphie’s story promises to charm both new and loyal fans. It captures the heartwarming and comedic pulse of everyday cat-owner life. Whether discovering Saphie for the first time or revisiting her tales, readers will find joy on every page. JOHO masterfully extends her storytelling prowess into physical form, offering a tangible slice of life.
