This manga has one of the most interesting ways of telling a
story that I’ve ever seen. It takes a classic manga, Astro Boy: The Greatest
Robot on Earth, and turns it into a murder mystery. That’s not an easy
thing to do, especially when you are taking on one of the most groundbreaking
works in Japanese comic history. It’s a thought-provoking experience. I especially
liked the way the robots were written into the story. Some of them are
extremely human looking and are even presented as equals to humans. They are
built for specific purposes, however they have personalities all their own.
Friendship and love are not outside their realm of understanding, and many
robots marry and have children. If you are familiar with Osamu Tezuka’s
original works, Pluto will be right up your alley. And just in case you aren’t
familiar with his work, you’re in luck! It’s not necessary to know anything
about the original work to enjoy this series. It’s truly the best of both
worlds.
