Angel In The Studio

Shintaro Tokumitsu is a high schooler living all alone, but things take an unexpected turn when a girl named Towa shows up on his balcony! Not only is she incredibly pure and sweet, but there’s something different about her-something...divine. Just who is Shintaro’s new roommate, and what adorable high jinks lie in store?!

Shintaro rescues a schoolgirl who was being chased around town by some strange men—only to find out that she’s a self-proclaimed vampire! The poor guy would rather not get involved with her edgy teen delusions, but eluding this “denizen of the night” is easier said than done. What kind of weirdo commits herself to the bit so thoroughly anyway...?

Shintaro never expected he’d get a roommate, or that this Towa girl would be a real-life angel. He’s been trying to keep her existence under wraps, but now his childhood friend Tsumugi has seen Towa in all her winged glory! And if a heavenly visitor wasn’t enough, Shintaro’s new coworker is a snow lady—a phantom whose moods can bring blizzards! What’s a guy to do...?

Summer means fireworks. Autumn is all about watching the leaves change. And in the winter, there’s Christmas and New Year’s. As the days and seasons pass, Towa and Shintaro spend time together, expanding their world and their horizons!

We Are Inspiring is a children's book anthology featuring the stories of 32 Asian American and Pacific Islander women. This work encompasses API femmes of various ethnicities, occupations, and body sizes, and is inclusive of LGBTQ folks, immigrants, and mixed-race women. How many Asian American women can you name? Designed for reading-with your child or for children ages 10+ to read independently, We Are Inspiring brings to life the inspiring stories of Asian American women from various backgrounds, ethnicities, and professions. Asian American history is an integral part of American history, yet it is often untold or oppressed. I hope that women (femme-identifying or non-binary folks) and our allies are inspired by the Americans whose stories I authored and illustrated. I especially hope that when Asian American women flip through the pages of my children's book, they can see themselves represented, acknowledged, validated, and inspired to chase their dreams by the women who inspired me to chase my own.I wondered why I couldn't find this kind of book anywhere... I realized it was because I hadn't made it yet. Dear reader, thank you for supporting me in my mission to create the book of American stories that I have wanted to hold since I was child.
