nerevar's review against another edition
5.0
this was a series that captures my heart when i was a kid. it is one of those series that i think of years later because of how Good it was. so, it’s fair to say i was pretty happy that this perfect version of the manga was released!! since i had a hard time finding the volumes in the past it is nice to be able to hold a series i love in my hands again.
about the actual book: i will always adore the style of naoki urasawa. for those of y’all that Know me, you know akira is one of my favorite pieces of media and it’s author, katsuhiro otomo is an inspiration in both writing and art. naoki urasawa is right up there for me with plot and visual beauty in this work. the style of 20th century boys is so Amazingly unique and i find myself just staring at the fantastic artwork in this book. honestly rereading this makes me want to go pick up pluto again too because as usual, it does not disappoint.
anyways, enough rambling. this is a story that takes dark twists and turns but is an experience worth having in my opinion.

A good start, the mystery Is interesting & as well done as Monster which was my introduction into the author/artists work.

Read the whole series. 2 stars for a strong beginning. Rest of it was confusing nonsense.

Un manga incredibile, una struttura narrativa complessa che cambia da volume a volume. Impossibile annoiarsi con Urasawa. Finale anti climatico, avrei voluto un finale più incisivo.
