PLUTO

 

PLUTO: The Psychological Sci-Fi Masterpiece 

Pluto Key Visual (Moody image of Gesicht standing in the flower field with his mechanical hands)

"Can a machine grieve? Can it seek vengeance?"
Naoki Urasawa's Pluto redefines robot stories as a haunting exploration of war, humanity, and justice. This award-winning 8-volume manga (and recent Netflix anime) asks profound questions through a gripping murder mystery.
