Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Today, kids in Japan are exhausted. Most of them are forced to study at prep schools from a very young age in order to get into a better school. This busy life with no time to play, leads to stress. Under these circumstances, Tsubasa Jenenile Books was launched on the 3rd of March. Our idea was to cheer up kids and become a relevant brand.
