20th Century Boys: The Perfect Edition
20th Century Boys: The Perfect Edition | Naoki Urasawa
7 posts | 8 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
A deluxe bind-up edition of Naoki Urasawas award-winning epic of doomsday cults, giant robots and a group of friends trying to save the world from destruction! Humanity, having faced extinction at the end of the 20th century, would not have entered the new millennium if it werent for them. In 1969, during their youth, they created a symbol. In 1997, as the coming disaster slowly starts to unfold, that symbol returns. This is the story of a group of boys who try to save the world. With killer bacteria attacks on San Francisco and London underway, the plot to destroy the world that Kenji imagined as a boy is playing out in real life through the actions of the Friend. What will happen next? Only one person knows. Only one person can save the world, and that person is Kenji. Firing up his guitar and making up his mind to stand up, Kenji heads to the concert hall where the Friend awaits

Went to the bookstore, ate pizza & saw Lightyear with my nephew and two nieces.

They bought 3 books each & I bought this one.

Buzz Lightyear‘s origin story was fun.

Create your own pizza at PieFive was a fun thing to do with kids.

Back to work. I‘d like to stop and read but I also don‘t want to work my weekend away.

vivastory I haven't been to PieFive in forever. I should go back soon. 2y
Twainy @vivastory heads up … oddly enough the kids didn‘t like the cheese stuffed crusts. 🤣 I‘m like … gimme your crusts. 2y

3⭐️

With a series of events happening, including a murder, people going missing and mysterious packages, a group of friends finds their childhood games becoming more and more relevant to the events they are experiencing as adults. At the same time, a mysterious cult is taking action to become closer to true tranquility and other parts of their belief system.

@GrilledCheeseSamurai thanks for the volumes, not for me but my BF wants to read them!

I got a haircut today (I loathe sitting in that chair and making mundane small talk) so I rewarded myself with 'Perfect edition' of Vol. 5. 😛

MrBook Lol! 👍🏻👍🏻 5y
Jas16 I hate the exact same thing about getting my haircut! 5y
cobwebmoth The small talk is always the worst part of getting my hair done. You totally deserved a treat after surviving that.😊 5y

Soubhiville Neat cover! Doesn‘t it feel good after the cut though? 5y
LauraJ For a moment, I thought you were going to tell us your haircut resembles the one on this cover! 5y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @Soubhiville It certainly does! I was a shaggy dog too! Definitely needed it. 👍 5y

This #Manga! I friggen love it. ❤️

Its the top spot for me (I waffle between this as my favorite and Full Metal Alchemist as my favorite (all depending on my mood)).

The new 'perfect editions' are 😍 and it makes me so happy to be reading the series again.

#riotgrams #day8 - #freebie

Blew through the whole thing in one evening. While I wouldn't recommend coming at it like I did (accidentally reading the first volume of the sequel mini-series and having some major plot points vaguely spoiled), knowing where things end up has me thrilled to see how they get there.

Can't wait for volume 2, which drops in Dec.; in fact, a lot of #manga to look forward to in the coming months.

Indigo had a 'buy 3 get 4th for free' sale. Today was the last day.

20th Century Boys is my favorite manga, tied for 1st place with Fullmetal Alchemist, so I'm super excited they are getting the deluxe volume treatment! 😍

Also, latest volume of One Punch Man.

My freebie book was, Kinslayer, book 2 of the Lotus War trilogy (I have book 1 due in the mail this Tuesday) so it was nice to get this one free of charge for when I finish the first! 😁
