Here is a link to the Unico Kickstarter
I mentioned this in another thread a while back but thought I would mention it in it's own thread so more people can see this. As of right now this has reached it's goal but is looking for more money to publish more of Tezuka's works. After reaching 26000$ They are publishing both Unico and Atomcat. If they reach 47000$ then they will also publish copies of Triton of the Sea. They will be doing this in two separate volumes.
Unico is a story about a tiny unicorn who has magical powers, mostly the ability to make people happy. Eventually the gods get angry and banish Unico away and he has all sorts of adventures. I think Atomcat is a Astroboy Spin off and Triton of the Sea is about the last survivor of Atlantis.
While these stories may not sound extreme I think that having a release of all of these in America would be pretty nice. Osamu Tezuka is a revolutionary Manga artist and I don't think that the industry would be the same without him. I think that owning pieces of manga history would be nice, and I usually enjoy the works of Tezuka so putting more in my collection would be nice.
