Have any of you people here in Suikox read Naoki Urasawa's new masterpiece here?

This is just about the best manga I've read these few years. The storyline's really great, and keeps you guessing what will happen. So far it has reached Vo. 20. Anyone have any mangascan links to it?

Naoki Urasawa's works are excellent stuff. They always have the impression that all elements of the story have been well thought from the beginning. Every little details - from the beginning until the end - neatly intertwined; you could see the puzzle pieces fall one by one into place as the mystery unfolded and all began to make sense. With a twist and bang!

As for 20th Century Boys: It is the only comic that has managed to make me shout "OMG" and "WTF" out loud in a public space at the same time. Thrice! It seems like the world has been turned upside-down and downside-up again.
I do not keep track of the volume number, though; I have just read until the chapter in which Kenji appeared and began to sing.

By the way, have you ever read Naoki Urasawa's Pluto?

I think I've seen one at a local bookstore.. but I'm not really sure if it's pirated or not.

I've only read up to Vol.5 where a mature Kanna appears. God, this book is really great. Everytime you think you know the truth, Naoki just screws the whole idea. :P It's as addictive as Lost, me says.

Pluto is a retelling of Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy from "the World's Strongest Robot" storyline. Naoki Urasawa uses the storyline to make a thriller/mystery comic revolving around a serial-murder of seven robots which have the power of mass-destruction (including Atom). It is excellent stuff.

Graach, teen Kanna. Makes you wonder when would the very first prologue scene in the first volume happen, huh? :mrgreen:
