In May 2021, several children’s activity and coloring books were released in stores like Can★Do in Japan as part of the “Tezuka Moderno educational series” for young children. Three books were available and were around 32 pages long, featuring several of Osamu Tezuka’s characters in the Tezuka Moderno style. Unico, Akuma-kun, and Chao appear in these books. This book features cute illustrations on each page for you to color.

Another coloring book available in the set released in May 2021 focuses more on activities like basic mazes and spotting the differences between two images. As it’s still a coloring book, you can complete the activities and color the characters on the pages.
