Publisher Summary

See below for English description.Une aventure à travers l’espace et le temps vous attend!Unico raconte l’histoire incroyable d’une jeune licorne qui est bannie des cieux après avoir mis en colère la maléfique déesse Vénus. Sauvée de l’oubli par le gentil Vent d’Ouest, Unico continue d’aider les autres, avant de devoir échapper à nouveau à Vénus et de se lancer dans une nouvelle aventure. Dans ce premier manga, Unico se réveille dans un pays mystérieux et se lie d’amitié avec Chloé, une chatte gardienne pleine de ressources, qui se sent protectrice de la jeune licorne. Lorsqu’elles se retrouvent près d’un petit village dans la forêt, elles se réfugient chez une vieille femme aimable, mais sans défense. Pour prendre soin d’elle, Chloé supplie Unico de la transformer en fille humaine, mais cet acte de bonté a des conséquences imprévues: l’amour d’Unico a réveillé Vénus et son serviteur Byron… qui veulent détruire la licorne et sa protectrice! Conçu par l’auteur Samuel Sattin et l’équipe d’artistes Gurihiru, et développé en collaboration avec Tezuka Productions, Unico: N˚ 1 - Le commencement est une reprise révolutionnaire d’une histoire bien connue du créateur d’Astro le petit robot, Osamu Tezuka, le « Dieu du manga ». Avec des illustrations en couleurs saisissantes et des textes se lisant de gauche à droite dans le style des bandes dessinées occidentales, Unico est une série de mangas géniale où la narration est à son apogée. Accompagnez cette licorne dans un périple inoubliable!An adventure across space and time awaits!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: N˚ 1 - Le commencement is a groundbreaking reboot of a beloved story by Astro Boy creator Osamu Tezuka, the “God of Manga.” With striking full-colour artwork and reading left to right in the Western comics style, Unico is a brilliant manga series featuring storytelling at its best. Join Unico on an unforgettable journey! Original title: Unico #1: Awakening
