Misako was the cover story for this Madison, Wisconsin newspaper! The article by Tenaya Darlington, tells Misako's story, from her daily life in Madison to landing her first book deal. And, highlights how she "connects with a new generation of female comic-book readers."

Quote from the article:
"The heroine of Takashima's first book, the shy bespectacled Aki, bears a curious resemblance to her creator. 'She is kinda my dream. I always want to be supergirl,' Takashima says."
