TAKE OFF BOOK LAUNCH
Dear All,
After years of posting Take Off's first ever episode on Webtoon and Tapas, it's finally here... Take Off BOOKS! ToT!!!
I'm so SO happy to announce that Take Off Volumes 1 and 2 will launch in June in a special Collector's Edition, a limited gift box featuring the ENTIRE Season 1 adapted into the two volumes, as well as official merch made just for this occasion!
The Collector's Edition is for those of you who really loved Season 1 and want something super collectible, as I've curated everything that goes into the gift box to pertain to Andrew and Nathan's first encounter on the plane. I don't know how many of you can tell through my wordy ramblings that I have a lot of nervousness and self-doubt, but GOODNESS when I say that I really, deep in my heart, believe this is the best thing I've ever made, and when I assembled the gift box the other day and placed it on my bookshelf, I've never felt more proud.
This is thanks to all of you here. Thank you for reading Take Off and for sticking around to see the books come to fruition!
More information regarding the books and Collector's Edition box will come through in the following weeks, and if you only want the books, volumes 1 and 2 will be stocked in September! These will all be ready first dibs at Dokomi June 6-8 :)
If you don't want to miss any updates, I'll be sharing most about the launch on my Instagram @_juiart_ and here! I'll also be sending out 2 newsletters (sign up here), one showcasing the Collector's Edition, and another right when preorder opens on June 18th. Because the preorder opens a day early for Patrons on June 17th, please watch out for a post that will be made then on here as it will contain a password to which Patrons can use to access my store early!!!
I will be seeing you all very soon with the new, updated character sheets made just for the books, something I know a lot of you have been asking for! Feel free to leave any questions in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them.
Thank you!
---------------------------------
I have not forgotten about the comic!!! I am hoping to update the main series but the frequent trips to the printers and factories the past couple of weeks to ensure everything is going well and looks superb have absolutely wiped me out. I don't say this to elicit sympathy nor romanticise being overworked, because I'd really hate that, but as of current I really am very tired.
I'm about 2/3 done with the current chapter and will hopefully be updating it this week. I will do my best to get everything done before June but if once again, I fail to make the rest of the updates, I will be pausing June's payment for existing Patrons!
Thank you in the meantime for being ever so patient!! Here's to good things to come.
Sincerely,
Jui

So exciting, putting it in my calendar to remember now 🙏🏻😂💜

CONGRATS!!!
Do you have any estimates on how much the collectors edition will be? Also will the books be censored in any way?
I second this cuz I want uncensored 😗✌🏽
This is genuinely so exciting! To see an artist and author reach such a fantastic milestone is wonderful. The chapter will be all the sweeter for knowing what you've achieved.
Hey, I’m pretty new to the Patreon. Can I ask if anyone know if there will be a style/visual update to season 1 book? Like will the re be a change to the style to match the one in season 2? 👀
Don't quote me on this but I don't think so. I think it's the same drawings and style that were posted to webtoon originally
Can’t wait to snatch up that collectors edition! My finances will just have to understand!
Can't wait! Doin' the happy dance right now.
Love this, can’t wait to get the books !
So so beyond excited ♡ I so hope I can grab a collectors edition hehehe 🥰 So proud of you and I'm sure the finished product will make the hard work and trips feel fulfilling and worth it ✨️
Yay!!! I’m so excited to buy these books!!! I really hope I can get the collectors edition 🥰🤞🤞
I am SO EXCITED!!!!🤭❤️I hope I can grab a collector’s edition if it’s not a limited amount to be sold! Hope you get some well deserved rest Jui and congrats on the amazing things coming!! It’s so lovely seeing your accomplishments throughout the journey of this story🥹✨
congrats that’s so awesome i’m so excited!! also definitely planning ahead money to hopefully get the collectors edition ❤️🔥
I don't get it. I already have book 1 & 2, is this one the same in just one book or is there more to it? 😟
I'm assuming you have zines 1 & 2 which are just nsfw non Canon stories. This volume 1 & 2 is going to be season 1 of the official Canon story so its a printed version of the season 1 that's posted on webtoon
Uuuggghhh first dibs in dokomi! I'm in Canada!
same, i'm in Toronto... I used to live in Düsseldorf tho, is it too crazy to ask my former boss to grab that book for me? We haven't talked in like 15 years... 😅
So hyped! Congrats on this huge accomplishment 🎉🎉 thank you for sharing this story with us and continuing it past where you had originally imagined 💖🙂↕️
BOOOOOOOKKKKKSSSSSS
OMG IM SO EXCITED
This is so awesome Jui!!! Congrats ! And I am SO excited for this!!! Definitely gonna be setting aside money to get the collectors edition!
So I'm only asking since on webtoons it's heavily censored but is the book the original or the censored version from webtoons?
I hope it's uncensored 🤞
Congratulations!!! So happy and excited for you!! 🎉💚
Excited!! Hoping I get the collectors edition! Proud of how far it's all come ❤️
IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!! I checked my pay schedule and I get paid on the 14th so I WILL be securing a collector’s edition😈is the collector’s edition going to be limited quantity, like only x amount will be made, or will the pre-order for it last the entire time volumes 1 & 2 are also available for preorder? Sorry if that question doesn’t make sense.
The Collector's Edition is going to be in limited quantity! As they are already made and require signing, assembly and packaging. There is going to be a preorder period of two weeks, during which the collector's edition will be at a discount. If it is sold out before the preorder period ends, I will be closing the preorder early! If not sold out, the remaining copies will be available at full price come September. I believe I have printed enough as I'm basing off of numbers from the nsfw zines, but yes there is limited stock!
This is awesome news!! Will these be thr mature version?
The books will be the same as Patreon's version! EXCEPT one panel in the original Chapter 35 there is imagery of a penis that I have decided to turn into a mosaic version because it served the scene's comedic tone better. It was an editing choice! Other than that I will never censor my work in print.
So excited!! 😆 Take your time and make sure to rest!
So exciting!!! I can't wait and will definitely preorder!!! 🥳 And do take your time. You're doing the work of 50 people and somehow crushing it! Take care of your health above all and we will happily support you 🥳
Congratulations! 🎉 So, so happy for you and so proud! Sounds absolutely amazing😍 and don't stress yourself - patiently waiting for the chapter - which will be here when it's here🫂💜💜
Here, here! What they said!
So happy & excited for you!! 🎉🎉🎉
Ohohoooo diiiibs
