20th Century Boys 1 by Naoki Urasawa
5.0
Okay, nostalgia, mystery, tidbits of science fiction, and pure male friendship? Too precious! This is mine!!! Lol, I've been in search of a series like this for years now, after rediscovering Stephen King's The Body (which has always been a fave for me.) Pure male friendships just really do the right kick. And this is such an ending treat for the best century of all, so thank you Naoki Urasawa. New favorite!! I'm a proud 20th-century kid, and I freaking needed this.
And by the way, a kid like Donkey! Didn't we all have a friend like that once in our childhood? I did, I did!! Donkey's death though... It's like a Chris Chambers allover again.
And also this quote upon discovering the rock 'n roll genre is everything: At the time I first heard it, what was supposed to be so good about it? You talking to my soul, boy? Lol! So relatable! And reading bits of the children's antics is like me talking to my old self!!
