An abrupt ending, but a good one still.

I really enjoyed this last volume and the series as a whip was great and kept me hooked all the way through..as a whole I’d give the series 4 stars! I will say with this last volume though things felt a bit rushed…when I finished I found myself wanting more…like 2 chapters more just to end things off better would have been nice but I still really enjoyed the series and recommend it to anyone who wants to read it…I’m not that much of a sci-fi fan but this was a good one.

What an excellent series. I'm so impressed by the anime adaptation and how close it is, but I'm really glad I read the novels and got the story and art from Urasawa. So great!

Although a bit of a rushed wrap up, the ending to this series was just as great as the series itself.
I absolutely loved the occasional and intentional use of color in the series as well like with Sahad’s field of flowers and his tulip, Pluto.
All in all powerful takeaway and an awesome take on “the greatest robot on earth”.
Can’t wait for anime in this fall, Netflix better do justice!!

I don't usually log mangas I read on goodreads but I decided to do it because why I shouldn't? I will just log the last volume of each series, taking the whole series as one whole book.
***
Pluto is a 10/10 story from the beginning untill the end. The themes Urasawa choose for his stories are always thought-provoking. The way he presents his stories feels so human and moving all the time and I think, Pluto is one of his works in which he mastered his craft.

Well, that was a ride! I quite liked Gesicht's detective storyline, but I suppose that was a strong plot element of the series, with Astro himself rather sidelined. The Professor Tenma angle was quite interesting too, and although there were elements of the original story, Pluto really did its own thing, though it seemed like parts of other Astro episodes were pulled in.
Effective and evocative art, especially the cityscapes.

Nearly perfect as endings go! I'm eager to read the original story in Astro Boy. Urasawa did a great job of bringing a golden age story into a modern context. You can feel the weight of 2005 global politics bearing on this and the pull of postmodernity.
