This volume concludes the story inspired by the classic Astro Boy, by the God of Manga, Osamu Tezuka. Modern master Urasawa reimagines Tezukas story as a futuristic sci-fi noir in which the most beloved robots on earth are systematically hunted down and killed. Bleeding with emotion and deep thoughts at all seams, and visualized with the grace and power of Urasawas distinguished line work, the story is ultimately an exploration of how hatred can pervert the loftiest of intentions. A flash-bang finale to a series that has carved out a spot at the vanguard of modern literary manga.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.)
