The Unico I Loved as a Child, and Pay It Forward I Discovered as a Student

When I was little, there was an animated film I watched over and over again without even knowing why.
It was Osamu Tezuka’s Unico.

At the time, I was simply captivated by Unico’s cuteness and by the beauty of the moment he transformed into a unicorn.
I wasn’t thinking deeply about the meaning of the story.

But when I look back now as an adult, I realize something.
I had understood that story with my heart before I ever had the words for it.

Perhaps because I was still a pure child,
I was able to receive its themes—light, kindness, and even a touch of sorrow—directly and honestly.

The things I “loved” back then quietly took root deep within my heart.
Without my noticing, they were already creating the path that would one day lead to the world of sanchelica.

Now, I can see that clearly.


✧ The Story That Lingered in My Childhood Heart — Unico

Unico is a small unicorn with a white horn.

Just by being near someone, he gently warms their heart and carries a mysterious power that brings happiness.

But his unconditional kindness is misunderstood by the gods as “making humans happy without effort,”
and so Unico is banished to distant worlds.

Unknown eras. Unknown places.

In each new land, Unico encounters people burdened by sadness and loneliness.
With small magic and quiet kindness,
he softly restores light to their hearts.

Yet every time he saves someone, his memories are erased,
and he must journey on to another world.

Kindness can be lonely.
And still, it continues to deliver light.

It is a beautiful and bittersweet story.

As a child, I only knew that I “somehow loved it.”
But now I realize that my sensitivity back then connects directly to sanchelica’s vision of “transforming sorrow into light.”


✧ The Film That Shook My Values as a Student — Pay It Forward

There is another story that left a deep mark on my heart.

It was the film Pay It Forward, which I watched during my student years.

The protagonist is an eleven-year-old boy named Trevor.
He comes up with a simple idea—yet one powerful enough to change the world.

“If someone shows you kindness,
don’t pay it back—pay it forward to three other people.”

One act of kindness becomes three.
Those three become nine.
And it continues to spread.

It is not a flashy miracle.

It is a quiet and certain truth—
that a single action can end up saving the life of someone you may never even meet.

When I encountered this cycle of kindness,
I felt something clearly within me:

“I want to believe in a world this gentle.”


✧ The Moment Two Stories Became One Line

What Unico taught me:
The power to transform sorrow into light.

What Pay It Forward taught me:
Kindness circulates and slowly brightens the world.

These two stories came into my life at completely different times.
Yet within me, they gradually blended together into one theme.

Before I realized it,
that theme had become the very soul of sanchelica.

The light that dwells within Kitsuneko.
The memory held inside gemstones.
The prayer that turns sorrow into flowers.
The small kindness that softly lights someone’s heart.

All of these are fragments of light
left within me by those moments—
from childhood and from my student years.


✧ Now, I Am Giving Shape to My Own Story

The world of sanchelica was not born from extraordinary talent
or from a sudden flash of inspiration.

It was born from what my childhood heart felt.
From what moved me deeply as a student.
From the quiet sensitivities that accumulated throughout my life.

All of it is now opening into one form—
and that form is the story of sanchelica.


✧ To You Who Read This

If your heart feels a little tired right now,
or if there are days when light feels far away—

There is always a small light within you.

One day, that light will shine on someone else.
And one day, it will gently protect you.

May the world of sanchelica
bring a soft breeze
and a single particle of light
into your everyday life. ✧
