[Rating entire series]

Judging by the story and its tone, one would expect this to be an adaptation to the good old AstroBoy but here we are. And a mighty great adaptation it is. Naoki Urasawa doesn't miss, hopefully the anime adaptation does this justice

Perfect start to an extremely exciting story

5/5

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!
