New DMP Osamu Tezuka Kickstarter project – Storm Fairy
Ian Wolf •
Digital Manga Publishing’s latest step in their plan to crowdfund the manga of Osamu Tezuka is to bring out his shojo series Storm Fairy.
Seeking a target of $14,200 by 16th July, Storm Fairy is a collection of three tales: the first of which is a fairy story about an Empress who enters a deal with a fairy, the price of which is that the Empress must give up the face of her next born child. The second story, “Kokeshi Detective Agency” follows a character called Paco who solves mysteries with her canine companion Waco. The third story, a fairy named Pink who can morph into anything she wants tries to make people happy, while the evil King Brown and Sepia try to make people miserable.
The project has two stretch goals. One is to restock Unico, which DMP had previous released via an earlier Kickstarter project. The other is to release a print version of Tezuka’s adaptation of Crime and Punishment.
