Volume 1 of SAPPHIE THE ONE-EYED CAT, the popular webcomic created by Joanna Ho (commonly known as JOHO), will be in bookstores on February 4, 2025 as an upcoming Scholastic print edition. Originally published as a vertically scrolling manga on WEBTOON, SAPHIE has become a sensation among fans of the slice-of-life genre, garnering over 100 million views and over 500,000 subscribers.
The publisher recommends this perfect foot-friendly graphic novel for readers ages 7 to 10, but bookworms of any age will delight in Saffy’s antics. The story follows a group of cat brothers who spend their days doing adorable pranks that any cat owner will recognize, such as scratching in restricted areas, knocking over various objects, and creating absolute objects. This is the story of Saffy, a lively one-eyed cat. Everywhere they roam they make a mess. Saffy’s adventures are as relatable as they are funny, and JOHO manages to bring the charm and humor of a cat owner’s daily life to the page.
Joho, who earned a bachelor’s degree from George Mason University, fondly jokes that he comes from a “long line of cat butlers,” which helps paint the feline character in an appealing light. It has definitely influenced her dedication to her work. In addition to his work on “SAPHIE THE ONE-EYED CAT,” JOHO also works as an illustrator for the romantic comedy WEBTOON “Love on Target,” where he uses his talent for capturing fun and playful expressions to make the characters shine. Masu.
Using his talent for storytelling and captivating artwork, JOHO goes beyond the internet and brings something tangible to readers who cherish the cozy and funny moments of cats (and cat owners’) daily lives. I have created a piece to offer. Whether you’re new to SAPHIE or a long-time fan, readers are looking forward to the print version of this graphic novel.
Scholastic will publish SAPPHIE THE ONE-EYED CAT in two formats. The hardcover price is $24.99 and the paperback price is $12.99. Fans can choose their favorite edition for their collection. Volume 1 won’t be in stores until February 2025, but it’s available for pre-order now.
