We plan to wait until closer to fulfillment to enter & charge you for the physical items on your survey to get the most accurate/fair fulfillment prices. We will update backers after entering those shipping prices before we charge you in BackerKit. If you have any questions please click the "need help" on your survey.

UNICO UPDATE #11: A BRIEF UPDATE!
over 3 years ago
– Thu, Jul 28, 2022 at 05:48:30 AM
Hello Everyone!
I hope you've all been enjoying a nice July.
I'm writing with a brief update on the state of things at UNICO: AWAKENING headquarters. In short, things are going GREAT! The enamel pins are currently being prepped for production. They're going to be super special and we can't wait for them to make their way into the world. As for the manga, we're currently in the process of translating the script, after which art will begin. We will begin posting art previews as they arrive, and will continue to work out any issues that occur with Backerkit. You can also look forward to Sen's finished digital wallpaper in the coming weeks.
On the backend, we will continue to work out any issues that arise with Backerkit. Please rest assured that if you have to change your address before shipping, we can definitely make that happen. Shipping amounts will be available closer to the actual ship date, and we will maintain communication with you on a regular basis until then to make sure that everyone has exactly what they need.
For those of you who pledged to have their characters drawn into the manga, you will receive an email within the next two weeks requesting photographs and any other reference you think would be helpful.
All my best, and my sincere thank you for backing this amazing campaign.

A word from Writer Samuel Sattin
Hello everyone! It’s been a bit since we sent out an update, and to begin with, I want to thank you for your patience while we’ve gotten everything organized with Backerkit and the Backerkit Survey. You're all great.
You’ll find now that the survey has been sent to each and every one of you. We believe we ironed out all the kinks beforehand, but please let us know if there’s anything we missed, and we will labor to respond to all of your inquiries as soon as we can.
In response to a question we have already received, please keep in mind that the UNICO AWAKENING (ユニコ: 目覚めのおはなし:版の本) choice is for the digital manga, while the UNICO AWAKENING SOFTCOVER MANGA (ユニコ: 目覚めのおはなし:版の本) choice is for the softcover manga. Everyone who pledged for a softcover manga will receive the digital copy as well, which is why we are making sure to ask for your language preference for each.
As we move forward, we’ll continue to send out monthly updates on progress with the project, and will reach out to those of you who pledged for shikishi or being Drawn Into the Manga.
Additionally, if anyone is interested, we currently have one last Drawn Into the Manga pledge available. Please reach out to us directly if you would like to inquire about pledging.
As we get closer to the shipping date, we will be reaching out with exact costs. We will make sure to do so before anyone is charged. Also, no additional fees will be charged for digital rewards.
Lastly, our Pre-Order store is now open in Backerkit, so if you wish to add anything additional to your order, something you missed during the campaign, you will be able to do so there.
If you’re looking for any other Kickstarters to back, check out SHAKESPEARE UNLEASHED. It’s a really unique, spooky project containing work from a whole host of famed writers! Here’s some more info:
From the blood of Macbeth and ghosts of Hamlet, to the dark fantasy of The Tempest and the twisted love of Romeo and Juliet, SHAKESPEARE UNLEASHED reimagines Shakespeare’s greatest works as short horror stories… as well as horror sonnets and a 20-page comic book.
SHAKESPEARE UNLEASHED, edited by James Aquilone, features an all-star roster of horror writers — including Joe R. Lansdale (Moon Lake) and Kasey Lansdale (Terror Is Our Business), Ian Doescher (William Shakespeare's Star Wars and William Shakespeare's Avengers), Cullen Bunn (Tales From Harrow County), Seanan McGuire (Every Heart a Doorway), and Jonathan Maberry (Kagen the Damned). Other contributors include Lee Murray, Gemma Files, Tim Waggoner, John Palisano, Lisa Morton, Geneve Flynn, Hailey Piper, Philip Fracassi, Linda Addison, Alessandro Manzetti, Jessica McHugh, Sara Tantlinger, Stephanie M. Wytovich, Gwendolyn Kiste, and Lucy A. Snyder.
Again, this campaign has been absolutely incredible, and the joy and enthusiasm around it. Unparalleled. With your help, we will be able to bring UNICO: AWAKENING to the world.

UNICO: AWAKENING #7: FINAL HOURS!

A word from Writer Samuel Sattin
Hello everyone! I can hardly believe it. We are officially in the final 12 hours of the UNICO: AWAKENING campaign!
As another token of our gratitude for all of your incredible support, we will be giving away a digital wallpaper by the comics artist, Mayo “SEN” Naito, to anyone who has pledged for a Unico: Awakening manga, or more! The final version of the wallpaper is in progress, but here’s a teaser of what’s to come!
Will be formatted for both smartphone and desktop
As we wind down, it’s hard for me to come up with adequate words for how thankful I am for all of you. With your help, we will be able to truly bring Unico to a new generation. Gurihiru and I are so excited about what the future has in store. We’ll make sure to keep you all updated every step of the way, and announce new developments as they emerge.
Post-campaign surveys will be sent out within the next week, so that you can make the selections for your rewards. We will be available to answer any questions that you may.
Additionally, if you’re looking for something new to look at in the Kickstarter world, check out the latest from Clover Press: The Golem of Venice Beach. I got my hands on an advanced copy of the book, and really found it fascinating. Jewish-Czech folklore meets Santa Muerte, in a high stakes, bloodsoaked drama about family, heritage, and the past coming back to haunt you. You can keep an eye out for it here.
Again, this campaign has been absolutely incredible, and the joy and enthusiasm around it. Unparalleled. With your help, we will be able to bring UNICO: AWAKENING to the world.
それとキックスターターの世界で新しい何かを探しているようでしたら、Clover Press: The Golem of Venice Beachをチェックしてみてください。すでに見本を手に入れたのですが、とても魅力あふれる物語でした。ユダヤ系チェコの民間伝承がサンタ・ムエルテと出会ったような、予測不可能な血みどろのドラマで、家族、伝統、そして過去が呪うために帰ってくる、そんな物語です。是非こちらでご覧ください:
