Queer, friendly, wordy, neurodivergent. Vacillatingly voracious reader. General rule of avoiding books that are written by/for/about cishet white men, especially Americans.

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.
