This continues to break my heart, it’s very impressive how emotionally invested the author has managed to make me in such a short amount of time

“You know why humans have to build monuments like this, Gesicht? Because they forget. They put them up to remember...before their memory fades"
Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka, Volume 2 masterfully continues the narrative established in its predecessor, delving deeper into the emotional landscape of its characters. The introduction of the Mighty Atom, or Astro Boy, is a poignant addition, showcasing Urasawa's skill in reimagining Tezuka's classic character with a new depth of empathy and complexity. Might Atom’s super power seems to be the ability to evoke and invoke empathy. The volume further explores the intricate relationships between robots and humans, weaving a rich tapestry of interactions that challenge the reader's perceptions of consciousness and humanity. The plot thickens with Gesicht's mysterious exchange of memories, adding layers of intrigue and suspense. This volume not only honors the legacy of Tezuka but also pushes the boundaries of the genre, promising a thought-provoking journey for readers. Urasawa's storytelling is at once intimate and grand, making "Pluto, Volume 2" a compelling read that leaves one eagerly anticipating the next installment.

“You know why humans have to build monuments like this, Gesicht? Because they forget. They put them up to remember...before their memory fades"
this volume has a little bit of plot twist as to who's behind the assassination of three out of the seven top AIs and the people who supports the robot law. it was honestly unexpected but it makes sense. atom, the little boy in the cover, was introduced and said to be one of the most, if not the most, highly developed robot. but for me, he's just an adorable, smart kid who acts more like a human than humans themselves. i'm getting a bit attached to him but i'm afraid for him because he could be the next target.
there are talks about memories here, and whether gesicht's memories are altered or not, it hasn't been proven yet. but even he has doubts about his own memories. the plot is getting deeper and i'm loving this so much!
