Pluto 5


Pluto, book 5
Naoki Urasawa
ISBN 978-4-09-181556-9

Urasawa is one of the most distinguished Japanese comic authors, I think.
Pluto is based on "The World's Strongest Robot" of Osamu Tezuka.
In a sense, Pluto is Urasawa's hommage to Tezuka, but it's not that simple.
Like other contemporary Japanese (difficult to understand) comic master pieces,
it's a very much thought-provoking story.
What is life?
What is justice?
Etc.
Anyway, I assure you that you can have interesting time with this comic.
