Wow, what I found great till now about pluto is how the emotions reach me. I don't really know but I'm really getting emotional.

OK, this volume added a few interesting wrinkles to the ongoing story. There are still places where it feels slow, but they were fewer and farther between here, and there was less of a feeling of repetition in this volume.

Incredible volume. We finally get more answers about the nature of A.I., Pluto, and Gesich's past.

"I did not make it... it was born. He was the finest, purest thing... a robot beloved by God."
Often, when a complicated plot with a great deal of philosophical depth starts to expand, a worthwhile question is "can I expect a satisfactory conclusion?" With Pluto's fifth volume, all signs point to "yes."
Many of the important questions of Pluto thus far are answered in this volume. Additionally, important insight is granted into both Atom and Dr. Tenma. Furthermore, some of the most emotionally hard hitting scenes of the series are delivered int his volume. The geopolitical allegory of Pluto is sketched out in more detail in this volume, as well. For all of Urasawa's technique, one can only expect that his exploration of the topic will be inspired and engaging.
