Chat with Lena Atanassova, Editor-in-Chief of TOKYOPOP

"Our team is very passionate about inclusivity and has a wide range of our own interests, of course; we had been having conversations about the way that certain genres are shelved together and others are separated, and the idea of “the Romance genre” being associated most strongly with a heterosexual couple is something we'd all noticed. LGBTQ+ romances are presented as separate from the overall Romance umbrella. We wanted to change that."
