wow, this is so good! didn't expect to get emotional in the very first volume. robots and humans have equal standings in this series but so far, the robots were more empathetic than most humans. that little segment about north no. 2 made me tear up. very much excited for the next volumes

this is my second urasawa series, with the first being the 20th century boys, and i liked that series a lot! the art is amazing with the typical 'urasawa style'. it's also very fitting to the story. i hope i'll love this as much as 20th century boys, if not more!

Compelling, well drawn, and the start of what I'm sure will be a fantastic series.
