About

Little Squid Press is an independent publisher based in Tokyo, Japan. We focus on romance, science fiction, middle grade fiction, and graphic novels — especially stories that blend genres, explore folklore, and celebrate found families, small towns, and a touch of the strange and magical.

We also create lifestyle goods and stationery inspired by our stories, favorite creatures (hello, canines, cryptids, cephalopods, and corvids!), and a love of cozy, creative living.

At Little Squid Press, we believe stories can be portals into other worlds, into each other’s lives, and into the everyday magic all around us.

We’re not accepting submissions at this time.

Little Squid Press presents The Cardinal of Resistance Series. These 5 illustrated posters feature a character named the Cardinal of Resistance. In each poster, a red bird (cardinal) is engaging in a type of creative resistance: Creativity, Handmade, Reading, Resting, Writing. The color palette and design has a retro mid-century modern vibe.
