Their Day in New York
This is the very belated thank you write-up for New York Comic Con!
Exactly a month ago today was the last day of NYCC. On that day there was a storm, but the commute through Lincoln Tunnel into Manhattan was faster than ever. On that day we finally decided to checkout the rest of the convention above the artist alley, and I was astonished by just how big the convention was that I got carried away buying yaoi books. On that day, so many of you came by - whether it was to say hellos and goodbyes, or to get your copies of yaoi books - thank you for stopping by, for your kind words and support for the series, and for gifting me the most cherished memories.
This year has been a lot, and I'm so glad to have stepped into the crazy world of conventions to meet readers from all over the world. To wrap up this year's convention journey in New York City where Take Off actually occurs is more than a dream come true, thank you, again and again - we did it!
I imagine when Andrew and Nathan finally start dating that they'll do touristy things together for funsies, so I did these drawings to record them being absolute dorks for each other. This is their day in New York, of many more to come :)
List of locations in order of appearance:
Dumbo where NOT-Brooklyn Bridge is (finally I learned that is not the Brooklyn Bridge...!)
Red Coffee Stand
Veniero's
Astor Place
I'd love to know which one is your favourite! Thank you all so so much again,
Jui

This is super cute
Such great new york hijinks for them 🥰 i especially love Andrew's expression at the dog petting. I can't decide if he's finding the dog too cute, Nathan too adorable, secretly hoping for Nathan to be petting him later, or all of the above 😁
As a native New Yorker I love these so much!! Would you ever sell these as prints?
Someone has hijacked the comments section asking for money. I have blocked the person and can no longer see their comments. The block should mean they are no longer able to harass anyone anymore, but please let me know if their comments are still on this page and I will find a way to delete them, thank you!

LMAOOOOOO NOT THE BOYS AT VENIERO’S!!!!!! my favorite 😂🙏🏼
The head pat would make me FERAL
i really love this 💖
Thank you, Jui, from the bottom of my heart, for all the joy you bring us with your work! I am so happy the NY convention was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you. I really wish I had been able to make it and visit your booth to meet you in person!
I love everything! Can't wait for them finally start dating ❤️
Are they not already dating? Maybe it was a side comic I read where they're already together? I haven't had time to keep up 😩
Adorable 🥰🥰🥰
This is adorable 🤭 and im glad you had such a great year!! 💚
They’re are all so cute! I love Andrew’s face in the eating ice cream one! 🫶
AHH Andrew asking about wedding cakes with the matching rings! And Nathan, you need to make up for making Andrew sad by telling him what a good boy he is too.
the pure sadness in andrew’s expression when nathan calls the dog a good boy is absolute peak 😭
They are such lovable dorks.
As a longtime NY resident, I can confirm that this bridge is NOT Brooklyn Bridge! Brooklyn Bridge is built with the bricks which is easily identified and linked to Brooklyn from Manhattan and from Brooklyn to Manhattan. This bridge is built with only steel. Yes, it is DUMBO as Angie kindly explained.
I can't choose: they're all beautiful! Andrew wanting to shout "ME!" when asked who's a good boy? Protecting Nathan's head and asking for cake. The fun of eating ice cream or challenging monuments. 🥰
Excuse me… wedding cakes?! Do I spy wedding bands?! 👀
Love the one at Red Coffee Stand with the dog! 😍 They are all so cute... 🥰 But Andrew's hand on Nathan's head when he's at that height... 🫢
They are my fav comic couple, even if it’s not canon yet 😛💖
Lol DUMBO means Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass. It was so lovely to meet you at the Con! Glad you enjoyed NYCC.
I- I did not know that!!! That is so crazy how it all makes sense now oh WOW! Thank you for the enlightening XD
Andrew eating the ice cream 🍦
Not Andrew jelly of a doggy ! 🤣🤣🤣 I hear Andrew's thoughts : "Me, me I'm a good boy ! Pat me !"
The way his (and my) praise kink kicked in 🤣🤣🤣
Andrew looking jelly is so adorable 🥰 I also love him asking about wedding cakes 😂
Oh are they married? I see some rings 👀
