You ever have those times when you just breeze right through a manga volume...I mean when you really get into its flow and feel right there? 20th Century Boys made me cry, and it was every bit as awesome as I could've hoped for.

The thoughtful panelling and distinct comfort with which Urasawa allows his art style to unfold so naturally to give life to all the well-conceived/implemented characters was absolutely precious to experience. What a windingly wild tale, where interpersonal interactions are carried out so well you'd think the mangaka had lived multiple lives already. What some might describe as filler or derailment serves to grant more detailed textures to the overall plot deftly and in varied enough ways which never felt forced or repetitive. The characters are so unmistakably, themselves; Urasawa nails characterization and it's refreshing for such an older series.

Read 20th Century Boys if you like well-crafted manga. I'll maintain that anyone who didn't enjoy it just wasn't at a good time in there life where they could. There really isn't much to be critical of here. Unmistakably, a masterpiece
