Manga
DMP launched a Kickstarter on June 12, 2012, hoping to publish Osamu Tezuka’s Unico, Atom Cat, and Triton of the Sea in English for the first time. The Kickstarter was a success and was funded by July 21, 2012 with 715 backers pledging $49,411. They would publish Unico not only in English but also fully colored. The comic was available the following year in 2013.
After a few years, DMP launched another Kickstarter campaign on June 16, 2015 for Storm Fairy and to reprint Unico with updated coloring and higher grade paper. They also made the comic available for digital purchase on DMP’s eManga website. There were two editions available, a regular and hardcover version of the manga. The physical books are out of print, but the digital version is still available in several file types for those who simply want to read the comic without paying outrageous online prices for the books.
