I've never been much of a manga or anime person, but I adored the animated Unico films as a kid. It was such a delightful surprise to come across this book. The artwork was everything I could have asked for - delicate and evocative and ethereal and adorable. The story was harder for me to enjoy due to the many, many instances of cruelty to animals. I also really didn't appreciate that the only person of size depicted was an awful, mean woman who deliberately kidnapped and abandoned an animal. Very disappointing in a modern book.

Overall, it was nice to see Unico again, but it wasn't an unmitigated pleasure.

DNF. I was told women would be dragons. Women were... mostly oppressed and silenced. Relentlessly depressing when I thought it would be galvanizing.

Charming. Everything i loved about classic English literature with a super queer relationship, and some acknowledgement of issues of race, class, ability, etc.

Story fairly good. Writing annoying. Queer people don't exist in the universe, I guess. Show is better.
