Urasawa brings up the fundamental question if Robots are studying and trying to reach human consciousness then what does it mean to be human? I like to be the optimistic and support the level of achievement that humans can aspire to be in regards to change and a better future for mankind but I do recognize that we are a destructive force and wouldn’t be sad if mankind cease to exist because of Mother Nature or our own destruction.

So if that is how I approach it then it valid to see how Robots are able to kill! What I cherish the most about this volume is the backstory of Gesicht and dealing with the repercussions of having his memory erased and recognize that he killed a human being. I have no idea what will happen in the future and I am curious if that will haunt him and the other characters in regards to fighting against Pluto?!

I cannot get enough of this manga series and to give a proper review will always fail in my grasp but I cannot stress enough that everyone should check this out especially if you are looking for new mangas! It saddens me how many robots have died and at this point if they all die that wouldn’t surprise me but definitely I’m going to be in shock if that makes the world better without them similar to Watchman. Naoki Urasawa is a genius and I have faith in him for these final few volumes!

One of my favourite issues of the series thus far, Pluto really opens up in this volume, revealing histories only hinted at in previous volumes. Human and robot interactions take on a much more interesting turn.
