Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka, Vol. 8 by Osamu Tezuka, Naoki Urasawa, Takashi Nagasaki

5.0

WOW. This series has the perfect balance of good and evil, beauty and violence, heartbreaking and heartwarming. While all the characters and locations made the story a bit hard to follow (I'm still confused on a few things), it was still fun and satisfying. What started as a murder mystery becomes a powerful message against violence and hatred.

And of course, I love robots, so I really enjoyed Pluto's depiction of a future where robots are nearly equal to humans in society. A recurring theme in this manga is the question of whether mimicked emotions can become real.

Finally, Gesicht is definitely going on my yet-unwritten list of absolutely amazing fictional characters. He is definitely marriage material. :)

SpoilerAnd I wish I knew more about Gesicht's son who was revealed in the final volume. What happened to him??? It's got to be a sad story, but I have to know!!!
