Featured in today's newsletter from the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA): "TOKYOPOP recently won an IBPA award for their graphic novel Guardian of Fukushima—one of many awards the publisher has won--a moving account of a farmer tending to the land in the wake of the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear power plant disaster in Japan. We sat down with Kae Winters, Marketing Associate of TOKYOPOP, to learn more about the book and the story behind their success."
