What is 20th Century Boys? It is a manga that will knock you socks off and then some. It will knock your socks off and your friends and families socks off. Socks will be all over the place. This series, by Naoki Ursawa, is pretty hard to describe without revealing some pretty big spoilers, so this review will be pretty short.
The story involves, in brief, a childhood fantasy, a cult, an epidemic, and a robot thing. But don't let that lack-luster overview keep you from reading this master-piece.
The antagonist of this story is the mysterious Friend, the leader of a cult whose identity is unknown, which just adds to the enormous mystery that encompasses the whole plot. This story has more twists than a road through the Alps. And those twists are awesome. Read this series. Read the volumes if you can get your hands on them or read it online.
