"A spellbinding masterpiece” Dav Pilkey, number one

bestselling author of Dog Man

A dynamic reimagining of Osamu Tezuka's classic UNICO

manga for a new generation of readers.

UNICO tells the incredible story of

a young unicorn who, after enraging the evil goddess Venus, is banished

from the heavens and forgets all he once was. Saved from oblivion

by the kindhearted West Wind, Unico continues to help others,

before having to escape Venus again and begin a new adventure.

In this first manga, Unico awakes in a mysterious land and is

befriended by a resourceful watch cat, Chloe, who feels protective

of the young unicorn. When they find themselves near a small village

in the forest, they take refuge with a kindly, but helpless,

old woman. To take care of her, Chloe begs Unico to turn her into

a human girl, but that act of kindness has unforeseen consequences:

Unico's love has awakened Venus and her minion, Byron, who

want to destroy them both!

Conceived anew by author Samuel Sattin and artist team Gurihiru,

and developed in collaboration with Tezuka Productions, UNICO:

Awakening is a groundbreaking reboot of a beloved story

by Astro Boy creator Osamu Tezuka, the "God of Manga". With striking

full-color artwork and reading left to right in the Western

comics style to match the original manga, UNICO is a brilliant

manga series featuring storytelling at its

best. Join Unico on an unforgettable journey!

The incredible tale of a young unicorn, perfect for a new generation

of manga readers

A fantastic reboot of a beloved story by Astro Boy creator Osamu

Tezuka, the 'God of Manga'

Filled with powerful, full-colour artwork and reads left to right

in the Western comics style to match the original manga
