this is SO different from Monster. it's so fast paced, action filled, and a lot more characters. I can definitely see similarities but I could never compare it to Monster as of now.

i didn't really plan on finishing the rest of this in one sitting, but once they said let me tell you exactly what happened that night i was hooked line and sinker!
God as usual is a fascinating character he is my favorite so far, and its really pumping me up for another manga that i think one of its protagonists is an old man as well, you don't get that role by just being any old man, and God is really special in every way.
Shogun escaped his prison with the mangaka, but it seems like the mangaka will not be part of the action, and its a good change of pace really, since u don't want to be predictable, and transform every normal human being into a person who will go through a tremendous transformation, and save the world you know?
I stopped at one time when they mentioned the 20th century boys song i went to search for it, but i totally forgot to go through with my search because i found something more amazing, the actual real life kenji song by Bob Lennon, and then i found a version where naoki urasawa sang it, which was even better, because it was closer to how the real kenji would have done it, i was really thrilled and geeking ou,t hearing that song on facebook in front of all my friends, who none of them have read 20th century boys, or even knows who naoki urasawa is, but it didn't stop me!

Good volume - the different timelines converge in really fun and interesting ways, and the plot continues to develop. A genuine atmosphere of menace. Good stuff.

New government in Japan is quite a dictatorship. Even simple manga author who tried publishing a manga about people fighting to free the world from evil organization gets sentenced to high security prison. Here he will meet one of the first prisoners dating back to the bloody New Year's eve of 2000. Man who will soon find new motivation for escaping the prison because he needs to help their last hope - Kanna.
On the other hand we are introduced to Koizumi, high school pupil who gets in quite a trouble after she chooses to write about December 31st 2000 events for her historical paper. In dictatorial state this interest brings attention from the state and this is something to avoid. Especially in world ruled by "Friends".
Art as always is pure joy for the eyes.
Highly recommended.
