A Seinen Drama Twist This ain't your grandpa's manga! Pluto is Naoki Urasawa's reimagining of Osamu Tezuka 's Astro Boy world. It ran in Shogakukan's Big Comic Original mag from 2003 to 2009, compiled into eight epic volumes. This manga's gone global, with translations in 20 countries, including the US and France.
The Mystery Unraveled Viz Media dropped Pluto in North America and describes it like this: In a distant future where sentient humanoid robots pass for human, someone or something is out to destroy the seven great robots of the world. Europol's top detective Gesicht is assigned to investigate these mysterious robot serial murders - the only catch is that he himself is one of the seven targets.
