Synopsis
In the original mystery thriller, we are introduced to Gesicht, a Europol detective who tries to solve a series of robot and human deaths.
The manga was published in Shogakukan's Big Comic Original magazine from 2003 to 2009, but with the chapters collected into eight tankōbon volumes. Ultimately, besides the homage to Astro Boy , Pluto is a police thriller set in a sci-fi world.
Furthermore, Maruyama has already adapted other manga by Naoki Urasawa , including the well-known Monster and Master Keaton , both produced by Madhouse .
