UNICO tells the incredible story of a young unicorn who- after enraging the evil goddess Venus- is banished from the heavens and forgets all he once was. Saved from oblivion by the kindhearted West Wind- Unico continues to help others- before having to escape Venus again and begin a new adventure. In this first manga- Unico awakes in a mysterious land and is befriended by a resourceful watch cat- Chloe- who feels protective of the young unicorn. When they find themselves near a small village in the forest- they take refuge with a kindly- but helpless- old woman.
