Osamu Tezuka’s Unico is well-loved around the world, and many older anime fans’ first exposure to anime as kids. Now, we’re getting a brand new, internationally collaborated manga called Unico: Awakening, for both fans of the original and new fans alike! And this month on the podcast, I’m interviewing the author of this new Unico adventure, Samuel Sattin! Listen as we discuss the plot of this new Unico manga as well as: Samuel’s anime origin story, how he worked with both Tezuka Productions and Japanese artist team Gurihiru, what makes Unico so special, and why Unico’s kitty-cat friend has a new name.
