Seasons of Blossom

Seasons of Blossom starts with school crushes, but its four connected stories make room for friendship, grief, and growing up too. If the gentle artwork brought you here, I’d keep that wider emotional range in mind before beginning.

Written by HONGDUCK and illustrated by NEMONE, the original English webtoon is complete. A separate sequel, Seasons of Lovesome, follows it.

What is Seasons of Blossom about?

The opening story follows Bomi and a group of high-school students navigating attraction without quite knowing how to be honest about it. Jaedam’s description of the first Korean volume frames the beginning around lies, misunderstandings, friendship, and learning to value both one’s own feelings and other people’s.

Later stories move beyond that opening group and stage of life. The publisher’s autumn-arc description, for example, introduces university students dealing with past hurt. Think of school romance as the doorway into a broader story about youth.

What the Korean title adds

The Korean title, 청춘 블라썸, combines 청춘 (cheongchun, “youth”) with a Korean rendering of “blossom.”

Youth is not a synonym for romance. The word leaves room for friendship, uncertainty, and change as well as falling in love. That broader frame is useful for a work whose characters are not all dealing with the same kind of problem.

The English title foregrounds the seasons. The Korean title foregrounds the stage of life. Together, they offer a helpful way to approach the series without expecting one mood throughout.

The art and its warmer surface

In a Korean creator interview archived by Manhwa Kyujanggak, NEMONE describes reducing elaborate effects and cluttered lines, using solid colors, and preparing a warmer palette for selected scenes.

Visual warmth and light subject matter are not the same thing.

The publisher’s summer-arc description, for example, places grief and the lives affected by loss alongside romance. Readers looking for something consistently breezy should know that the opening does not set the emotional weight of every later story.

The sequel and screen adaptations

Seasons of Lovesome is a separate webtoon sequel by the same creators. Its English introduction brings in Bomi’s university classmate Pureum and a café-and-art-studio setting, extending the story into university and working life.

Sequel status checked: October 30, 2026. The Korean sequel has resumed with its third season, while the official English status page marks that edition On hiatus after its Season 2 finale. The original’s completion and the sequel’s release schedule are separate; the Korean return is not an announcement that the English edition has resumed.

The 2022 live-action Seasons of Blossom drama is an adaptation, not that sequel. Jaedam’s Korean volume-six description explains that the drama combines the original’s first two seasonal stories. Check Viki’s series listing for viewing availability where you live.

For my impressions of Hamin’s guarded kindness, the two timelines, and the sadness beneath the school romance, read my 2022 K-drama review. It discusses the performances and atmosphere without revealing major outcomes.

There is also a Korean animated adaptation, 청춘 블라썸: 우리의 봄. CBS NoCutNews’s report on its 2026 KBS launch describes a focus on Bomi’s school romance. It is another screen version, not an additional webtoon arc or an alternative title for Seasons of Lovesome.

For my thoughts on Bomi’s feelings, the quiet direction, and the short episodes, see my Seasons of Blossom animation review.

Before you start

Content note: The series includes bullying, suicide-related themes, and grief. The creator interview explicitly discusses the heavier subjects beyond the opening romance.

Begin with the original webtoon rather than using an adaptation’s ending as a reading bookmark. The reading-order guide explains the four arcs, the sequel’s placement, and the route for readers arriving from a screen version.
