Tokyo + Olympics Guide
NEW book - out December 12th 2019 from Kodansha, 110 pages.
Story by Sean Michael Wilson, Art by Makiko Kodama
The story is a simple one: two foreigners visit Japan - a British guy, David and his French girlfriend, Maria. Their Japanese friend, Takeshi, guides them around some aspects of Tokyo as they prepare for the Olympics to start, and we see pages from a guide book they have that shows them about the Olympics and the various places and games that will happen in summer 2020. So not only is the manga a story it can also be used as a guidebook to the Olympics for foreign visitors to Tokyo.
Published in a bilingual version - with Japanese and English on each page, so its useful for learning either language.

Now, I would like to proudly announce that a new book “Guiding in English : Tokyo + Olympics,” which I was responsible for the artworks, is now available at bookstores in Japan and Amazon.jp (amazon.co.jp/dp/4065181631/)
I drew 93 pages of comic!
The comic is about a Japanese boy Takeshi introducing Tokyo to his friends David and Marie. Through their Tokyo tour, they learn about history of Tokyo 1964 Summer Olympics and information about upcoming ToKyo 2020 Summer Olympics.
The writer of this comic is Seán Michael Wilson, an award-winning comic book writer, and I would like to thank Sean from the bottom of my heart for this great opportunity, and wonderful story which would definitely liven up the atmosphere of upcoming Tokyo 2020!
Also, I would like to thank Mio-san, an editor of KODANSHA Editorial, for all of your hard work and supporting me a lot.
And and, thank you Tatsuya, my husband, for assisting me on finishing touches of the artwork and supporting me a looooot!
