Naver Endnote: Sometimes I don’t know whether I’m left with a sense of longing or love... 

Still posting out of habit ...^^;

Except for the comments, this is also being posted on Twitter. For art, I will be using Twitter or Instagram because it's easier to sort, so I will be using that more.

It's already been 4 weeks since the comeback. The comeback hype is starting to wear off huhu. 

Before the hiatus, the previews had 3 chapters, so I thought this would be the end of a chapter (the fight) when the series resumes. Seems like I’ve pushed the story’s progression. 

Maybe that’s why I rambled quite a bit.  As someone who is actively participating in battles, Yu Hansung didn’t have a lot of solo fight scenes, and since webtoons needs to be fast-paced, it's hard to focus on each character’s individual fight scenes... so this time, I thought about relaxing a little when drawing... Instead of going full out as usual, let's just start with Yu Hansung fighting a Division Commander, step by step. This fight was the result of that line of thought. 

But I worked hard to draw it, so I hope you guys enjoy this one. Haha.

​I may or may not keep posting next week out of habit, but Instagram is surprisingly difficult to use (...) so I've been using Twitter. 

But I know I will see you guys next week with a new chapter ^^ Thank you!

​(PS: This week’s previews has increased by 2 chapters. Please don’t get confused.)

Naver Endnote: Boa constrictors can’t actually eat elephants. Of course, this snake can eat whales like snacks. I’m scared. 

Today's doodle is Maschenny and the giant snake we saw at the end. The mood around Maschenny changes a lot based on her clothing and style. Of course, they are all ominous in some regard... Next week will probably be the Three Baylord brothers ^^;; That is a strong request from one of my assistants who are stepping down this time around. Of course, these days, the topic and the quality of the doodles are entirely up to me haha.

​Actually, the cold that has been plaguing me for almost a month still hasn't healed, and I have a fever now too, so I'm writing while on drugs. he. If it doesn't make sense or if there are typos please be understanding.

​This chapter, unlike last week, has the story of the other wall. We have Dowon's story as the centre of the story: Personally, I wanted Dowon and Cha's story to be more than Baam’s story, more so about the idea of war, and the conflicts and themes that could develop from war. Of course, many people have different opinions on this, but for me, the critical reason why Dowon and Cha's path split was because the people who protected the seal had two different mindsets. Cha's seal was maintained to stop the sacrifices and to protect Dowon's will, just as Cha wanted, whereas Dowon's seal was maintained to keep a life of greed by squandering peace... Dowon who received those memories would be definitely hesitant to fight Zahard's Armies. Personally I would have hated both sides hehe. Anyway, I wanted to express that ultimately, it was the hearts of the people who defended the walls that changed the paths of their heroes. Of course, one may say Dowon's values are inconsistent, but this Dowon is one who received a completely different set of memories that she didn’t have before she was sealed, and perhaps Dowon’s real wish, even prior to becoming sealed, is to live a life free from wars of societies and nations. 

As Dowon says herself, Kallavan already has enough power to defeat everyone in the Walls, including the Rankers and Bam's team, so in some regards, Dowon is staying true to her past self and trying to move on into a new life. Of course, the story of Cha and Dowon continues, so I hope you pay attention to them.

Also, Bam finally learns where Ha Jinsung is being kept, and we have the name of the place. It's called the "Nest", and it seems pretty scary just by looking at it. Wherever they fight, the snake looks like it's going to be hard to draw (....) it's probably going to be our next battlefield.

And now with the weekly corner for the afterwords: The Disease Update: I still have the cold.-_- I changed hospitals and drugs, but this is lasting an entire month hehe. I haven't been going out often because of this situation, but I am going to the clinic again tomorrow and try to find a surefire cure this time. For me, it's less so a cold but more of throat inflammation, but everyone please watch out for the cold. During times like these especially.

That's all for this week.

We got information about the next battlefield (The Cage), and Dowon took off with Kallavan so I hope you look forward to seeing what kind of trails Bam suffers, and how he overcomes them.

​Self-management is a skill, so I will try to work hard while trying to come back healthy and without a cold. Everyone, please make sure to have a mask when you go out, and stay healthy, please.

All of you have a happy and healthy week. Thank you!

Naver Endnote: It’s like a surprise, right?

This week's afterword picture is Rak and Khun. They don't seem to get along well, but... Actually, they don't have a good relationship. Haha. I'm kidding. They get closer through bickering... Now that I think of it, besides Bam, Khun actually gets along despite bickering with everyone. It's probably due to his very strong ego.

This week we had a continuation of Bam's fight.. Akryung seems to know something. He will show up again later. As the attendants of the Elder's servants are starting to get involved the battle, and while the battle becomes more and more complicated, Bam's punches are becoming stronger by the day. He can do this without the Thorn now.. 

Jordan kept up with the outside news from within the Cage, so he seemed to have high expectations for the Slayer Candidate. Please be on the lookout for how their relationship progresses in this battle.

Khun's side of the battle... Doesn't look like Paul came in with all the information. Paul's movement wasn't really teleportation. There needs to be a vague coordinate set up in the first place, and an animal to behave as a receiver must be there.

​And the Michael's laughter at the end (...) personally... I love writing these kinds of characters. If you write them doing something like a psycho, it actually looks plausible (..)

Anyway Khun who just got revived is about to die again... Khun don't do it. You know how hard the other kids worked to try and save you. What will become of Khun's fate....

The weather is becoming hotter these days, In such weather, my energy recovery becomes slower, making it harder to work. I eat this and that while working, but I lack exercise and sit for long hours ^^; also I get stressed easily both during work or outside of work, so it's not easy during the summer. But as all my kiddos risk their lives fighting in the Tower, I don't think it's right for me to live such a comfortable life, or is that not how it works haha. It does concern me, and that can't be helped.

​I was working outside and I saw students studying, and they were all working on their projects hard, so that somehow motivated me to work harder too. I know there are hard moments for everyone, but keep fighting!

Everyone stay healthy, and have a happy week. I will come back next week with Khun who is in trouble. These are days of tribulation for Khun ㅠ

See you next week!

Thank you!

Naver Endnote: Even if Yuri is rampaging... Maybe they have similar personalities...;;;

Because of various reasons, no request this week, quick doodle of what's going on. [TN: RaKhunBam pelting SIU, over his tablet, passed out, with balls.] 

A few weeks ago, the original file got wiped from a certain chapter... And due to translation issues, I need that file until next week, so I had to work on previews, and restore that at the same time... it was tiring ㅠㅠ. So the cherry blossoms will have to wait. I gotta write this afterword fast so I can quickly sketch the next one. The request box remains open, just in case. ^^

If you've been keeping up with the afterwords, you'd know this, but whenever I'm not feeling good, I get dizzy and feel like throwing up at times - which is the most unusual... It's a mental thing so I can't get it treated, so I can only work as hard as I can, and avoid doing anything involving computers or phones. It's gotten worse, so I'm stressing out. Of course, I'm still working, just that it got so much it became a problem hehe. 

Well, this has become another episode of "SIU Complains", but I should talk about this chapter.

So Yuri unwisely took the 1+1 deal... tsk tsk tsk ㅠㅠ. Yuri almost feels like a different person now... Perhaps it's got something to do with the 13 Months and the souls within... But more on that.... next time! Well, I hope Yuri comes back soon to her senses, but she's not that different from normal Yuri. Like how she's violent... and how she's violent... [TN: intentional repetition of violent] The story of the 13 Months will continue to unravel in the future. 

And on Hockney. I can't see the future, but I too wonder if it's a good thing to be able to see the future. I guess I can make cash off of stocks keke. But beside the problem of past or future, I wanted to say that it's better to look at the world as is for happiness. 

By the way, David Hockeny, the artist I named our Hockney after, he often took a picture of the same model during different times or places, and edited them into a unified work of art. I felt a connection with what I dealt with here, so I named Hockney after him. Hockney has a lot of pins in his hair because a lot of my friends in art school did that... hehe. 

We're finally at the Room of Spirit and Time. Who is De Jah? Where is the second piece of the Thorn? Find out next week on Tower of God! ... 

and I'll get back to work. ㅠㅠ Have a good week!! Thank you~!

Naver Endnote: Yuri is doing nuclear experiments

Yuri: (sound effects) yab yab yab

Yuri Zahard doing some nuclear experiments.jpg

Hmmm, Yuri’s combat scene continues. Bam and Hoaqin’s conversation… like I said before, both believe that ideals and contradictions can exist, the difference is that Bam is a bit more human?

Just because he is the main character, does not mean that I want to make him more “rational” or “just” than his enemy. Just as much as Bam, I want to draw as much I can from Hoaqin’s perspective.

Next week will be Yuri’s turn. I wonder if her nuclear experiment will succeed. Then have a great night. See you next week ^^

ps. The new Tower of God game is out on android. http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.raiz.tog You can download it here  It’s just been released, so there can be incomplete sections or some bugs, but the game should become more stabilised within a week, so please check it out ^^ I’ll give the game a proper introduction next week. Thank you~!

[TN: The game is discontinued, but you can learn about it here.]

Naver Endnote: I was contemplating between fried or seasoned, but these days I decided to dip the fried into the seasoning

Hello, this is SIU. For this week's afterwords, I will just post a picture without too much extra content. Haha...

This chapter in a sense wrapped up the Battle of the First Wall, and served as a transition to the next wall. Although it's only through silhouette, we do see some old faces hehe.

​Recently, I've been thinking about writing a bit more. I do want to talk about some of the characters who aren't being shown currently. Of course, writing it and having it uploaded are two different stories, but if it looks fun, I'll try to share it on the blog.

Recently, I found a spot near my old home to do something comfortably, but because I'm used to Seoul, I'm already finding some inconveniences. This is the power of living in Seoul.

Well, I will be back next week with the familiar faces next week. I am still trying to write the afterwords or recent updates, even if short. I hope you have a good week, and I hope that you all remain happy and healthy.

See you next week. Thank you!

PS: A bit late, but Tower of God Volume 3 and 4 are out now [TN: In Korean]. As before, you can buy it from online bookstores, so I hope those of you who have been waiting go out and buy them, thank you _ _

Naver Endnote: I wrote X, but it’s a mysterious Korean that I can understand

It's kinda weird to have small chapter numbers when it was hundred something in Season 2 It had a lot of things going on compared to the previous chapters. Anyways, it's been three weeks since I came back, and my right arm is beginning to fall o.. (uh no come back TT) And since a lot of people welcomed me back, I think I'm going to continue the story in a calm mood for a while. Having a consistent mind...It's never easy. haha, but it is required for long webtoons.

Anyways, this chapter was long...super long... One of the main thing that I was worried about while making saved versions was how long this chapter should have been. Of course, the previous chapters were long, but wasn't as long as this. How long should 'waking Khun up' take...  Wake him up after one chapter, or write a lot of things in between and make something really detailed Or simply focus on one thing...anyways, Personally, I like this kind of chapter structure, But in a long-running arc, this kind of structure takes longer to prepare and it gets too long, so it's tiring. So, I felt like trying this during hiatus... and did it this way this week. Well it wasn't something amazing, and there were a lot of excluded contents. Personally, I achieved the goal of waking Khun up in one chapter haha I hope you enjoy reading this episode. (It took a long time to draw though TT) 

Well...Since he woke up He may as well as start working!!

And at last part The mystery snake guy who attacked Yeon Yihwa appeared. I hope you keep reading to see how the chapters will go on.

The thing that I am thinking about these days is that I'm not that special, but somehow I'm serialising my work for so long, I'm really lucky- So I think it is better to keep my place than be ambitious about it.

If you read the work like yourself, I hope you get excited with the next chapter of Tower of God Take care and be happy!

Thank you__
