The coloring and lineart is fantastic, and it's just so adorable.
I especially love how you did Seeu's eyes and the tiger's expression.

OH persimmons are important too in ancient Korean tradition. especially in food and the korean thanksgiving holiday.
Actually when I was living there as a girl in the country, there was one tree in our yard, it was a persimmon tree, and my favorite fruit at that time. It had great sentimental value to the previous house owners too.
Persimmon is a very nostalgic item in for many Koreans. They read about it in poems as children and it is a common symbol of that sentimentality. Sort of like...ice cream sundays or marshmallow smores for American children. Smores especially are often associated with camping, summer time, family fun, and so on. A persimmon for many Koreans is kind of like that! ^^

and though I never had that, I do like persimmons very much, especially hongsi.

Ohhh sorry!! When i read your comment, i thought maybe you were not Korean. So very sorry!!
But i mean, if you think about our cultur, Tigers and Persimmons do go together after all! ^^

they go together very well in cultural context but not in folktale context, which is what I find so funny
