  • Urasawa never fails to amaze
I bought the first three volumes of this series after finishing Monster and at a friend of mines recommendation. I thought Monster couldn’t possibly be topped, well in my opinion this series here is Urasawa’s magnum opus. Upon reading this and the second volume I immediately purchased the rest asap and I have been loving it the whole way through. This series has a lot more pomp and circumstance than Monster. It can be difficult to adjust to the time jumps and connect with the characters initially because of them but before to long you will be all in on this one. It’s like a sci-fi goonies I mean what’s not to love!? ... show more

  • Story is Awesome, but not the best condition
Loving the story so far, but the book/manga itself came with torn cover.

  • Manga con detalles
Todas las ilustraciones y textos excelentes, pero tiene algunas paginas en blanco. Faltan paginas.

  • A Masterpiece In An Affordable Collection
20th Century Boys is truly a one of a kind story. I won't spoil anything for those who may be new to the series, but if you wonder if the story is for you and you like manga, it doesn't get much better than this. This is a 'Perfect' (See what I did there? Perfect edition. Nailed it.) place to start your collection. Each book contains two volumes of the previous release for a small fraction more than what one of the original books cost. It's a great deal. For people who have the old series, there isn't a ton of new things I can personally argue would make this purchase justifiable. The panels that were originally released in color are in color this time around (the original was entirely black and white) but that's pretty much it. There aren't that many either. Maybe 20 color pages, tops. There's a new cover too, but that's it. 20 or so color pages and a new cover. I don't mind having this because 20th CB is my favorite manga ever, but if you own the older editions already, there really isn't anything for you here that will enhance the story or anything. Enjoy reading one of the greatest stories ever told! I am not joking at all when I say that I named my daughter after a character in this book because the story had such a profound impact on me. Her name is Kanna and without this book, she wouldnt have the name that i know her by. This story truly is one of the greats. ... show more

A masterpiece of a manga that lives up to the hype and more. If anyone is wondering whether they should start picking this series up please do so because you will not regret it.
