From Viz:
In an ideal world where man and robots coexist, someone or something has destroyed the powerful Swiss robot Mont Blanc. Elsewhere a key figure in a robot rights group is murdered.

alright, so I wasnt going into it with high expectations. but I was proven wrong. manga is anything but bad. the story, the art, emotions portrayed, incredible detail of human psyche.. The questions that rise. Starting to wonder about very core of humanity itself, what makes a human being human. recommended.
Great

This is an excellent manga, don't get me wrong. But I'm kind of growing tired of Urasawa's manga. In seinen, it is after all very mainstream.
His writing is top notch (as long as he knows when to call it quits), but sort of lacking edgyness. Of course, that isn't a "must" for everyone; but because of that I can't call his stuff an absolute favorite of mine.
Mind you, this is really only nitpicking. Pluto is right up there with Monster and 20th Century Boys.

Urasawa never fails. He's put an original and entertaining spin on the Greatest Robot arc of Astro Boy. Sheer brilliance.
