Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka, Vol. 2

It's psychologically complex. It's well-drawn in a style that is neither too cartoony nor too realistic, but convinces one of the integrity of the universe presented. The characters live and breathe. The story is developing into quite the thriller.It's manga meets Blade Runner meets Miracleman.In the second volume we meet Atom (better known in the west as Astroboy). The way Atom is written, the way that he affects the other characters by his very presence, is inspiring. His innocence and child-like appearance belies the fact that he is the most complicated robot in the world. And he cries. It is such a wonderful scene.Meanwhile the killer claims his next victim. Again, we only see the blank spaces of the battle but it is titanic.Also, the story of the 39th Central Asian war becomes more complicated. We begin to see that the seven greatest robots in the world are tied together by the time they spent in the war.Gesicht discovers something is wrong with his past.And we're introduced to Dr Roosevelt. Who looks like a teddy bear.I really can't explain to you how excited this series has me. It makes me feel like a child, but is written at such a level that I know I can only get it because I'm an adult. It's like I'm discovering Halo Jones again.I do not know how to express how great this is. But it really is. It's science fiction written by a humanist.

Item arrived in good condition and on time. Art's fantasic, as expected of Naoki Urasawa. Storyline is also amazing, a more serious take on Osamu Tezuka's astro boy.

100% reliable

Simply amazing.- The history of Astroboy in amazing graphic detail. I read this as it was being published.. I couldnt wait for the next edition.

アトムの登場から、第二の殺人とBrandoの死、そして、今回の事件の背後にある組織が少しだけ登場します。　そして、その事件の背景にあるものも。　ミステリっぽく演出されて、引き込まれていくものがあります。　なかなかおもしろい。
