Nakama Press, an imprint of Mad Cave Studios, has announced the English-language release of A Little Step by Mimi Szeto, a new graphic novel based on the author’s life.
Yu-kiu Lau, a fifth-year student, had always dreamed of studying at a foreign art university. However, because she feared others’ critiques of her work, she couldn’t find it within herself to submit any of her creations. One day, while Yu-kiu was in the art room, she heard a beautiful guitar sound from downstairs. It turned out to be played by Ho-yuet Lee, a classmate with a questionable reputation…
“It was an incredible honor to partner with Nakama Press,” said Mimi Szeto. “For A Little Step to be my first commercially published comic and to reach English-speaking audiences—it truly felt like a strong boost of encouragement in my creative journey. I genuinely believed that the language of comics was a universal one, capable of crossing both linguistic and cultural boundaries.”
A Little Step Vol. 1 arrives on November 4, 2025.
