Features: Bestselling 1 million copies in Korea! Immersive warmth – youthful charm!!! Like the wind, like the clouds, like open wings. Drunkenly lost in the gentle embrace of colorful characters and lines, and the fresh youth that washes over you. Dugua's comics lack glossy, stylish hairdos, no swaying beautiful accessories, and certainly no scent of high-end perfume. Yet, she embodies the charming youth of her twenties, harbors longing for those she passes by, and deeply cherishes her love for her family. That's why Dugua's comics are called "authentic." Dugua's comics capture the ordinary moments missed in life, like a gentle rain nourishing a dry heart. Though brief, they leave a lasting impression. The work seems to well express the author's reflections on life during her growth – not too naive, nor overly seasoned, perfectly aligning with her age and accurately conveying the thoughts of that generation. It's the kind of confession only shared over drinks with the neighborhood big brother, the past overlooked in haste, the stories only the big brother would entrust to her. Amidst the wave of humorous and witty cartoons, there are comics like these that allow us to pause and contemplate life while enjoying the light-heartedness – this is Dugua Comics. Though it lacks sharp, punchy dialogue, it clearly implies something, allowing us to resonate with the author even from within the "''."
