#I almost cut out the side story with Austen's dads from the print book because it seemed the least story-relevant

I finally got Love & Gravity, so I re-read the entire volume starting at volume 1. It's just as great now as when I followed it on Webtoons, and I love having it in printed form. However, I am the teensiest bit disappointed by the fact that the 4-koma special comics aren't in the books. The one about Austen's childhood and her fairy tale book is one of my favorite parts of the comic. May I ask why it's not in the physical release?

Yeah, I was disappointed by this too :(

Unfortunately the nature of print comics publishing is that someone important decides on a page count (in my case, 250 pages for each book) and then you have to stick to the page count, because printing more pages messes with the budget.

250 was fine, if a bit tight, for book 1.

It was not enough pages for book 2.

The team fought hard to get me more pages and we did get a longer page count, thankfully - I think it ended up being 268 pages? - but it was still really tight, and so we made the (very sad) decision to leave out the 4koma special.

But I fully agree that the fairy tale book is important, and while adjusting the panels and dialgoue for page viewing, I managed to squeeze a mention of it into chapter 21. So it's still there, just not in exactly the same way. (Thank you for reading, and caring, and getting the print book!! Much appreciated!!!)
