BIBI & MIYU AND THE FOX & LITTLE TANUKI 
ANNOUNCED AS COMBINED SILVER TITLE FOR FCBD 2020

Combined Children’s Manga Titles For All Ages Readers Available
At Participating Independent Comic Book Retailers


Los Angeles, CA — With the reveal of Free Comic Book Day 2020's full title lineup, TOKYOPOP®, a POP Media Holdings company and global manga leader, is excited to announce BIBI & MIYU and THE FOX & LITTLE TANUKI as one of the silver titles selected for the annual event. Presenting a combined comic with a preview of the two new manga, TOKYOPOP knows the importance of having all age friendly titles at the annual event.

“Once again, we’re thrilled to be a part of such a huge event for comic and manga fans,” said Kae Winters, TOKYOPOP’s marketing associate. “There are so many amazing free titles up for offer, and it’s a great opportunity for fans to support their local comic shops.”

More about the individual titles below.

BIBI & MIYU, by Hirara Natsume and Olivia Vieweg
BIBI & MIYU (Hirara Natsume, Olivia Vieweg) is a manga adaptation of the beloved German series Bibi Blocksberg, which follows the adventures of a young magical girl of the same name. Originally released as an audio series  in the 1980s, it became a cultural touchstone for several generations of children and Bibi is still recognized as the most beloved children’s character in Germany. This manga is a special cross-cultural project, where two magical girls from two entirely different continents and cultures come together to learn about one another.

When a new student from Japan shows up at Bibi Blocksberg’s school, she fits in immediately. But Bibi’s suspicious; she knows Miyu’s hiding something, and she’s determined to find out what! Bibi’s journey takes her all the way to Japan, and while learning about all the new rules and magic in this foreign land, she realizes that maybe she and Miyu can be friends after all!

"Bibi & Miyu is all about Girl Power, with two smart and outgoing young magical teens exploring the world around them with unbridled curiosity," said Janae Young, editor. "This is the kind of story that reminds me what it was like to be a little girl."
Picture
THE FOX & LITTLE TANUKI, by Mi Tagawa
The second title to be previewed in the comic is The Fox & Little Tanuki (Mi Tagawa), an animal filled journey into Japanese folklore. In this fantastical setting, the gods appoint certain animals to be trained as apprentices to assist them in resolving human dilemmas, bestowing on them special powers. Fans will instantly be captivated by the adorable artwork and cuteness of Japan’s native animal species, and the fascinating glimpse into ancient fantasy storytelling.

After 300 years, the gods that imprisoned Senzou the Fox Spirit for his arrogance finally set him free. There is only one condition — he can't have any of his supernatural abilities back until he successfully helps a tanuki cub named Manpachi become one of their magical assistants. Unfortunately for Senzou, there's no cheating when it comes to completing his task! The magic beads around his neck make sure he can't wander too far from his charge or shirk his duties, and so... Senzou the once-great Fox Spirit must now figure out how to be an actually-great babysitter to a mischievous little tanuki or risk being stuck without his powers forever!

“The Fox & Little Tanuki is a modern fable rooted in ancient folklore, and a perfect introduction for any reader interested in learning a bit more about the rich mythology of Japan,” said Lena Atanassova, editor. “It's a story with a little something for everyone, a vibrant fantasy adventure with a lot of heart.”

Free Comic Book Day has been held on the first Saturday in May each year since 2002, when comic book retailers across North America and around the world give away select free comics to customers. A celebration of the comic arts, publishers submit a wide range of titles for consideration, from traditional American comics to Japanese manga to appeal to a wide range of fans. This will be TOKYOPOP's fourth year participating in the event.

​
Discover Hidden Origins and Shocking Reunions in Two All New Stories From The Hit Franchises On May 4, 2019

​

LOS ANGELES, CA (May 3, 2019) – BOOM! Studios today revealed the final cover and first look at the WELCOME TO THE WHEDONVERSE FCBD SPECIAL, an all-new comic book arriving exclusively in comic shops worldwide on Free Comic Book Day (May 4th, 2019), with brand new stories featuring three of the greatest creations from visionary Joss Whedon (writer/director Marvel’s The Avengers).

This FREE comic, released in partnership with 20th Century Fox Consumer Products, is the perfect jumping-on point for the “Whedonverse” with all new stories from the worlds of BOOM! Studios’ hit series Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Firefly.

First, dive into the secret origins of Boss Moon, the brand new character who made her first appearance in Greg Pak and Dan McDaid’s Firefly #2. This special origin story reveals how the relentless Unificator was recruited by the Alliance to hunt down Captain Malcolm Reynolds and Zoë Alleyne Washburne, written by Fireflyseries writer Greg Pak (Ronin Island, Mech Cadet Yu) and illustrated by Ethan Young (Ronin Island).

Created by Whedon and set 500 years in the future in the wake of a universal civil war, Firefly centers on the crew of Serenity, a small transport spaceship that doesn't have a planet to call home. Mal Reynolds, a defeated soldier who opposed the unification of the planets by the totalitarian Alliance, will undertake any job — legal or not — to stay afloat and keep his crew fed. Thrust together by necessity but staying together out of loyalty, these disparate men and women are seeking adventure and the good life, but face constant challenges on the new frontier, such as avoiding capture by the Alliance, and evading the dangers you find on the fringes of the universe. 

In the second exclusive story, it’s the beginning of Buffy vs. Angel as the Slayer makes a surprise visit to Anya’s magical emporium in search of an extremely rare and dangerous item that might be the solution to fixing an impossible problem. But she’s got competition, and fans will have to pick up this special issue to find out what happens when the Slayer, vampires, and the magic of cursed souls all converge on the same place in this hit reimagining of the cult television sensations. Writer Jordie Bellaire (Redlands), with artists Dan Mora (Klaus, Once & Future) and Serg Acuña (WWE), continues the bold reimagining of the groundbreaking mythology that changed pop culture forever.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer premiered on the WB Network on March 10th, 1997. The Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated series, which ran for seven seasons from 1997-2003, stars Sarah Michelle Gellar as “Buffy Summers.” Chosen to battle vampires, demons and other forces of darkness, Buffy is aided by a Watcher who guides and teaches her as she surrounds herself with a circle of friends called the “Scooby Gang.”

WELCOME TO THE WHEDONVERSE FCBD SPECIAL, featuring a cover by Greg Smallwood (Moon Knight), is the latest release from BOOM! Studios’ eponymous imprint, home to a world-class group of licensed comic book series and ambitious original series, including Lev Grossman’s The Magicians, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Planet of the Apes, Abbott, Mech Cadet Yu, Grass Kings, and Klaus. 

“BOOM! Studios is excited to celebrate Free Comic Book Day 2019 with all new stories from the hit comic book series based on Joss Whedon’s pop culture sensations! Fans of the series will find out just how Boss Moon became a Unificator, and how far Buffy is willing to go to save her friends. It’s also a great starting point for longtime Whedonverse fans.” said Jeanine Schaefer, Executive Editor, BOOM! Studios. “There’s a first meeting in this that readers won’t want to miss, as well as a meeting of old friends that will change the way you see these characters!WELCOME TO THE WHEDONVERSE is required reading for ANGEL, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, and FIREFLY fans and new readers alike!”
