About the series
In this acclaimed 8-issue manga series from Viz, Naoki Urasawa reimagines Osamu Tezuka’s classic "Astro Boy" story arc "The Greatest Robot on Earth" as a gripping, noir-tinged mystery. Co-written with Takashi Nagasaki and translated by Jared Cook, the story follows Europol detective Gesicht as he investigates a string of robot and human murders that echo the legendary conflict from Tezuka’s original. Published between 2009 and 2010, Pluto stands as a masterful homage that deepens Tezuka’s themes of artificial life and war, showcasing Urasawa’s signature psychological depth and intricate plotting.
