Our project for "Unico" is live!
Our work on Barbara is all but done, and just in time, because we've just launched our third Kickstarter campaign, for the cutest Osamu Tezuka manga ever: Unico!
We want to do a totally family-friendly edition of this book, for kids and adults, and we want to publish it as close to the original as possible. Just one hiccup: The original was in full color! Printing in color is insanely expensive, but we think we can make it happen with your support. Plus this time we've got reach goals, so if the goal is hit with time to spare, we'll be unleashing another Tezuka license!
I hope you'll have a look: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/digitalmanga/publish-osamu-tezukas-unico-in-english-in-full-col
Thank you as always for your support!
