Pluto: Urasawa x Texuka, Volume 1 is a title I bought in 2014 from a library. I'm a huge Urasawa fan, and pretty soon, I had all eight volumes of Pluto, complete with annoying library stickers. Today, I finally started peeling off all those library stickers and more importantly, reading the books. I have read some of the original Astroboy manga by Osamu Tezuka. Part of the reason I didn't get into Pluto was that I was never a big fan of Astroboy.
Pluto is the story of seven powerful robots who are being killed, one-by-one. Gesich is one of those robots, and he's a detective stationed in Germany, where many of Urasawa's stories take place (Monster takes place in West Germany, and Master Keaton has a number of scenes there). The story only begins to unfold in Vol. 1, and of course you'll want to read all of this beautiful series, as I'm going to. I've already started reading Vol. 2.
