I've heard good things about Bussy Bat :marseybat:, but I dont really have the patience to currently read manga.

20th century boys was fine, from an r-slured child's perspective of the world point of view. The villain plan was so dumb, the security agency of Japan had to be literally braindead to not find out about it. It jumped the shark when the entirety of Japan bought into the whole "imminent alien invasion" plot.

Still a fun read.

Pluto was probably the best urasawa manga. Grimdark + Astroboy + Asimov golden era sci fi is one heck of an aesthetic.

Pluto might just be the best sci-fi comic ever made.

I didn't like it anywhere near as much as 20th Century Boys but I do love how many ridiculous scenarios he manages to fit in

A bat detective character is actually an ancient diety who has been influencing history. It appeared to Judas and made him betray Jesus, was carries to America by Hitler or something, is on the Moon with Neil Armstrong, and sets up the deaths of the Kennedys to keep the world covered in β€˜darkness’

Was the manga any better than the tv show? The tv series really blew. (Utterly r-slurred character "development" and plot, but it was presented as a bog standard Western Detective TV show, so :soyjackwow:).

Okay so

The samurai were officially abolished as a caste in Japanese society during the Meiji Restoration in 1867

The first ever fax machine, the "printing telegraph", was invented in 1843

And Abraham Lincoln was famously assassinated at Ford's Theatre in 1865

Which means

There was a 22 year window in which a samurai could have sent a fax to Abraham Lincoln
