A review by sashaknits
Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka, Vol. 1 by Osamu Tezuka, Takashi Nagasaki, Naoki Urasawa
3.0
This was a Comic Book of the Month choice from Page 45. I have mixed feelings, overall. It was an interesting portrayal of a future in which robots and humans live together and in which robots can have children, want to learn the piano, can dream and can even have nightmares.
Somehow I wasn't drawn into the story or drawn to the characters, I felt disconnected and very much like I was reading the story rather than experiencing it. Perhaps something was lost in the translation, it's hard for me to tell. I'm also wondering if I might enjoy it more if I'd read Astro Boy on which it's based, but it really ought to be able to stand on its own.
This is the first volume in the series which has finished in its original Japanese and began publication in English earlier this year. Sadly I don't feel interested enough to pick up the next volume.
