Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka, Vol. 2 by Osamu Tezuka, Takashi Nagasaki, Naoki Urasawa

5.0

After reading this volume: WOW! I NEED THE REST OF THE MANGA IN MY HANDS!

I’m definitely on the Pluto train and it is not stopping anytime soon! The first volume ended with Gesicht meeting Atom (Cough Astroboy Cough) and some revelation as to who is the killer.

From seven robots we are now down to four. What is epic about this volume is you finally get to see a bit of Pluto’s face and the killer ain’t playing. North No. 2 was my favorite at least in terms of storyline and that fact that the robot is truly a weapon of mass destruction makes me scared for the rest of the robots now that was he killed.

I have some suspicion that Atom is not fully good. I don’t think he may be the villain controlling the cards in regards to Pluto but I feel he has an hidden agenda which would be a wonderful take on Astroboy. One theme that I really like that caters again for the murder mystery is falsified memories.

Gesicht has always claimed his memory is perfect and yet it is discovered that there is a chance that false memories were implanted into him which makes me reevaluate what was he doing years ago. I think that clue can bring major insight why Pluto is seeking to kill all the major robots.

I cannot stress enough that everyone needs to read this manga! I look forward to what this series will provide in future volumes! I don’t want this end!!
