Saphie: The One-Eyed Cat will be followed a couple of months later in July by Float – the completed WEBTOON adaptation of Kate Merchant’s hit novel, by Merchant and artist CJ Joaquin. A sweet fish out of water rom-com, Float follows teenager Waverly Lyons as she moves from chilly Alaska to the warmer climate of Florida where she falls for super-hot swim instructor Blake.
