I just finished this. I really enjoyed it. The art was beautiful, especially the backgrounds and skies

[@Immortallium]

Yeah, it's a beautiful work. The stories were surprisingly dark as well which I liked.

[@WhimsicalPictures]

This is one of the Tezuka titles I'm most interested in. I love the lush, imaginative artwork and I like slightly spooky/melancholy children's tales. Thanks for the review! (^^)

[@Immortallium]

The art is very pretty. Definitely the main selling point. Glad to see you enjoyed the review!

I want to read the manga as I grew up with the anime from the 80’s that aired on the Disney Channel!! My Tezuka jam!!:)

[@Immortallium]

If you want to read it in English, the only options you have are to order a digital copy via eManga or to look for a physical copy through sites like eBay. Let me know if you manage to get a copy!

Great review -- I've been trying to pick up Unico, but am having a hard time buying from DMP lately (through their akadot site). I didn't realize Tezuka had intended any of his manga to be flopped. You don't find that very often.

[@Immortallium]

Yeah, they don't make it easy to get the volumes. Shame but that's their business model. Yeah, Sanrio's magazine were all flopped so Unico is naturally read left to right. Unusual definitely.

Awesome review! I really need to add some Tezuka to my collection.

[@Immortallium]

Thanks! Tezuka's always a tricky one to get started on. There's so much of his work out there! Any titles of his in particular have your attention?

[@chibikyo7]

I'd like to own as much Tezuka as I can, because like you, I'd love to see more people talking about/ appreciating Tezuka's work and the significance he had on manga. As far as a specific series I'd like to own goes, I'd love if Kimba the White Lion ( ジャングル大帝) got translated and released in English, though I'm considering buying the manga series in Japanese since it shouldn't be that difficult to read. (Edit: I just found out about the "Kimba the White Lion Leo Edition " which is in English and Japanese, So I'll probably buy that.)

[@ThatMcflyGuy]

Great review man! Very detailed and informative. Unfortunately I don't own the hardcover edition but the first paperback edition from DMP. Have you seen the anime versions?

[@Immortallium]

Thanks m8! I'm curious about the differences between the editions. Probably just a difference of paper quality, cover art etc. I haven't yet. I know Discotek have released them so I am curious about them.

I bought Unico HC and Barbara on this kickstarter campaign, hope they ship them first before the new preorder. Do you backed this campaign?

[@Immortallium]

Are you referring to the Wonder 3 campaign? I have backed them and can tell you from experience that you won't receive your books until all of them are ready to ship. Makes sense from a financial perspective on their part but I can understand the frustration that some people might have.
