Fantastic story development and artwork. Worth reading.

splendida edizione

Good mangap

pretty good

I doubt there's much I could say about this Manga that hasn't already been said. Pluto is a story developed out of an old Astro-Boy story called The Greatest Robot in the World which involved Astro-boy fighting off another robot named Pluto who was almost as strong as he was.In Pluto, Urasawa has developed a murder mystery centered around the seven most advanced robots in the world as one by one they are picked off by a murderous Robot that arrives in a tornado and always disfigures the bodies of its victims by arranging the corpse with antler like horns protruding from their head. The story follows the lead investigator of the murders, Geist, who is himself one of the seven robots. Themes of emerging Robot consciousness, anti-robot hate groups, world politics, and a mystery in Geist's past all meld together into possibly the finest manga series I have read to date. (Although Akira is still up there...)Action, Mystery, Robots, and an engaging story; this manga has it all!Whether you are a manga fan or if you are just interested in a great story, I cannot recommend Pluto enough!!!

Die Geschichte umfaßt 6 Bände und erzählt eine Episode aus Tezukas "Astro Boy" aus einem anderen Blickwinkel, aus dem des Roboters Gesicht, der als Kriminialinspektor in Düsseldorf in der Zukunft Morde an hochentwickelten Robotern und deren Befürwortern aufklären möchte. Naoki Urasawa erzählt und zeichnet diese Geschichte in wunderschönen und teilweise bedrückenden Bildern. Astro Boy erscheint hier in Gestalt eines kleinen Jungen, Atom genannt. Auch er sucht nach dem Hinrichter. Pikant ist, daß sowohl Atom als auch Gesicht ebenfalls in der Schußlinie von Pluto, dem Mörder sind.Wer gern auch Mangas in englisch liest, sollte sich diese Geschichte auf keinen Fall entgehen lassen!
