this manga series is just so good! SO GOOD! i just loved every part of this. the little bit of plot twist at the end is something i didn't expect but it made sense. the plot itself is not very long but it's deep and complex and the emotions this series brought just hit so hard. the characters' personalities are realistic. either humans and robots, they perfectly represented the diiferent human emotions in reality. the ending is very straight to the point, with no unnecessary scenes. i do think that 8 volumes are just enough for the plot, not too long and not too short either. i never expected to cry when i first picked this up but i did and the impact on me is huge. i really had a wonderful reading experience. this has a really solid beginning and an equally solid ending, which you could not see in every stories and i'm glad i was able to read this.

i very much understand why this manga series is so highly acclaimed. a masterpiece, indeed! i can confidently say that this series is now included in my top manga series i've ever read. and since i'm researching things about this manga, i just discovered that netflix will soon release an anime adaptation of this series! i'm so freaking excited to see the story and the characters come to life!

i highly recommend this manga! this is such a short read but you will received more than you expected.

An abrupt ending, but a good one still.

I really enjoyed this last volume and the series as a whip was great and kept me hooked all the way through..as a whole I’d give the series 4 stars! I will say with this last volume though things felt a bit rushed…when I finished I found myself wanting more…like 2 chapters more just to end things off better would have been nice but I still really enjoyed the series and recommend it to anyone who wants to read it…I’m not that much of a sci-fi fan but this was a good one.

What an excellent series. I'm so impressed by the anime adaptation and how close it is, but I'm really glad I read the novels and got the story and art from Urasawa. So great!

Although a bit of a rushed wrap up, the ending to this series was just as great as the series itself.
I absolutely loved the occasional and intentional use of color in the series as well like with Sahad’s field of flowers and his tulip, Pluto.
All in all powerful takeaway and an awesome take on “the greatest robot on earth”.

Can’t wait for anime in this fall, Netflix better do justice!!

I don't usually log mangas I read on goodreads but I decided to do it because why I shouldn't? I will just log the last volume of each series, taking the whole series as one whole book.
***
Pluto is a 10/10 story from the beginning untill the end. The themes Urasawa choose for his stories are always thought-provoking. The way he presents his stories feels so human and moving all the time and I think, Pluto is one of his works in which he mastered his craft.
