feels weirdly nostalgic despite my inability to relate to much of the specifically Japanese references. a solid start introducing memorable, unique characters right off the bat. excited to see if it will come anywhere as close to Monster but I have high hopes!!

I adore Urasawa. [b:Monster: Perfect Edition, Vol. 1|18775119|Monster Perfect Edition, Vol. 1|Naoki Urasawa|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1398188825s/18775119.jpg|13882777] is one of my favorites of all time, so this later work by the same author was not a disappointment. Can't wait to read more.

20 days without reading i am not even sure if i am back yet!
Bad luck for my manga read this year...
Lets talk about 20th century boys it came to me highly recommended, and i think it might be the best written manga i have ever read so far, surpassing berserk!
We have many timelines narrated, all about the same group of kids in different ages.
The characters are amazing and unique each in his own right.
The drawing is full of details, maybe not as detailed as berserk came to be later in a lot of volumes, but still too early to judge anyway.
I think the group of kids probably got their memories removed by "Friend", making each one of them remember small details but not the whole scenes from their childhood, and probably erasing "Friend" himself from their memories.
More characters will be introduced, and more will die in their quest to unravel the secret society that uses their friendship symbol as its own.
Can't say i am pumped up even though i should be, curse reading slumps.
But i am looking forward to finishing this someday ❤

اعتقد ان التشويق هيزيد اكتر ف الفصول القادمة. عجبني أيضاً التنقل بين الحاضر وذكريات الماضى.
