Who Killed Astro Boy? In an ideal world where man and robots coexist, someone or some thing is after the seven great robots of the world. Interpol assigns robot detective Gesicht to this most strange and complex case--and he eventually discovers that he is one of the targets! The seven great robots of the world are being destroyed one after the other, and the former members of the politically charged Bora Survey Group are also being targeted. Could Professor Tenma, the man who created the Japanese boy robot Atom, hold the key to finding the killer and his motive? The latest developments in the investigation send shock waves throughout the world in this masterful work of science fiction and suspense. Review: You'll believe a robot can die - The guy on the cover of this volume is Atom/Astroboy's creator. He's introduced to the narrative to make some portentous but undoubtedly important pronouncements about the division between humans and robots as the excellent cyberpunk manga thriller continues and deviates further from its source material. Pluto continues to follow his course of vengeance on the forces involved in the destruction of the Persian States during the 39th Central Asian war. This leads him directly into conflict with Atom and Uran, with tragic consequences. The tension of the threat is palpable, and the resolution of the situation is a shock. Meanwhile Gesicht is assigned to protect the robot hater who plans to kill him. However, this leads to an uneasy alliance that raises new clues and questions about the mystery surrounding Pluto and his mission. As does the attempt to kill Gesicht's creator, which draws Epsilon and Heracles back into the story as they discuss Atom's creator. It's hard to fault Urasawa's narrative or art. Both are pretty much beyond reproach. There are a couple of pages in the copy I got where the reproduction is a bit dodgy but this is a printing issue. If I have one criticism, it's that we still haven't got back to the teddy bear shaped Dr Roosevelt. Hopefully in the next volume! Review: Peak - Peak

“Pluto” poses many questions that we, humans, may have to answer in the future
Pluto is a page-turner. I wonder if a future relationship between humans and robots would be tenuous, friendly or contentions.
