Reviews

[Fran · Rating 5 out of 5]

Después de seis volúmenes, creo que ya es hora de comentar algo de este manga. Me voy a ahorrar los superlativos. Se merece todo lo bueno que se diga de él y más.

Hay dos cosas que llaman poderosamente la atención al inicio de la serie: el recurso de los flashbacks para abrir varias líneas temporales y la nostalgia que recorre sus páginas.

Estos flashbacks, fieles reflejos de la fragilidad de la memoria, sirven para reconstruir un pasado que nunca es concluyente, vestigios que ayudan a interpretar el presente y alimentan un suspense que crece en cada capítulo. Es imposible no sentirte arrastrado por la memoria de los personajes y no sentir simpatía por estos niños y sus delirios de grandeza. Pocas veces he visto usar con tanta destreza los flashbacks (técnica que, en demasiadas ocasiones, sirve como comodín para salir del paso de algunos desaguisados y que acaba resultando plomiza e inadecuada).  

Y en cuanto a la nostalgia, usada como metáfora del recorrido vital del ser humano, es reforzada precisamente por estos viajes temporales de ida y vuelta. Nostalgia surgida al ver truncados los sueños infantiles de unos personajes que, gracias a esa cotidianidad tan bien transmitida, se sienten de carne y hueso.

Pues bien, esto es sólo el principio. Luego empiezan los fuegos artificiales. Naoki Urasawa revierte esta presentación casi costumbrista y arroja a estos personajes dentro de un misterio que crece desde la anécdota infantil hasta la conspiración más extrema. La evolución de estos personajes es asombrosa y, a la vez, resulta totalmente natural. Y el manejo de la intriga y de la elipsis –¡menudo salto en el tercer tomo!– es magistral.

A mitad de camino, no puedo ponerle muchas pegas. Quizá alguna parte se alargue demasiado y, de momento, hay tres personajes que brillan sobre los demás. Ya veremos también cómo da salida a tantos interrogantes.

Espero lo mejor.

I DON’T BELIEVE ANY OF IT!!!

It’s all a farce, the friend is a dirty dirt bag. I need more RIGHT NOW! Everyone should read this and I mean it.

[Des Fox · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one was a little slower, but the build feels worthwhile, and there's a giant reveal at the end that I appreciated a lot. I really liked catching up with Maruo and Kanna is a badass and I love her. It feels like we're wrapping up, and I need to know how this all shakes out!

4,5/5. Great book, not necessarily center on my favorite characters, but it did a lot of evolution in the main plot of the series.

20th Century Boys really does an incredible job of keeping a mystery rolling without it getting frustrating - Urasawa's art is incredible, as well.

The truth about the virus on Bloody New Years

The truth about Kanna's father is revealed to her and her power manifests in a dangerous way. Seeking answers she will follow clues she has found to discover the truths she needs to know. That is not all though thanks to the heroes of the story being split apart for the most part thanks to the power and influence of the Friend that runs everything they are still being revealed and gaining their own important clues that may one day lead to ultimately saving the world. At present Yoshitsune (with his crew), Kyoko, Kanna, and Yukiji are working together while Choji and Kakuta are doing their own investigations into the doctor believed to having created the virus in the first place and potentially discover the identity of the friend. Finally we get to see Maruo has returned as a manager to the national artist Haru Namio. His dedication being not connected to any of his friends has turned darker as he fantasizes and even makes plans on how to murder the Friend but his morals stand as a shining beacon as the method he would want to use should not harm innocent bystanders. Everything else in-between is full of spoilers and information about people, plot, and an eventual death so be sure to read this volume if you have already made it to this half way point in the series. It is worth the read. :)

[Tetyana · Rating 5 out of 5]

Poco a poco se van desvelando los secretos. La forma en que se presenta el descubrimiento de la identidad de "amigo" son una delicia para el lector que puede además puede volver a echarle un ojo a los primeros tomos para ver lo bien hilado que está todo de principio a fin. El desarrollo de todos los personajes están minuciosamente pensado y magníficamente presentado. La tensión del misterio no se afloja en ningún punto y lo que nos deja el final de este tomo son solo más ganas de leer.

We get the “friend reveal” here — or so it seems — after what is perhaps the longest tease (700+ pages of almost-there) I’ve encountered in fiction. For good or ill, this is really something

SPOILERS

What do you do when you find out that your father is the man who will destroy the world? You play a Street Fighter-ish arcade game and beat the crap out of your opponent; one of my favourite little moments, whilst having some form of nostalgia. Jokes aside, Kanna Endo is wrestling with her own identity and sadly doesn’t have her beloved uncle to give her advice. Considering the already fantastic stuff Kanna has done previously, she is still a frightened young girl that is perhaps over her head. That said, from the lessons she learnt from Uncle Kenji – as shown in a few flashbacks just before the events of Bloody New Year’s Eve – she is not going to give up as she seeks the truth and hopefully save the world.

Much of her arc in this volume is Kanna on her own, leading to finding out more about the mother she never really knew. Having mysteriously disappeared for years, we got to know what Kenji’s older sister Kiriko has been doing, which is her being entangled with Friend’s cult, such as creating a doomsday device that will commence in the following year of 2015. Considering the stakes of the story which are worldwide, there are times that Naoki Urasawa treats the whole thing like a family soap opera, with heroes and villains sharing the same bloodline, whilst childhood friends conceived a highly convoluted plan that would only make sense to a child’s mind and yet hauntingly becoming a reality years later.

Speaking of childhood friends, we see the return of some of the 20th Century Boys, most notably the portly Maruo. Last seen during Bloody New Year’s Eve, Maruo is now the manager of pop singer Haru Namio who has become one of Friend's favourite entertainers. In one of the darkest turns in the series, Maruo tries to blow up Friend as a suicide bomber. In the past, Maruo has always been the plucky one out of Kenji’s gang, to growing up as a jolly family man. Seeing what Maruo tries to do in the present is a reminder of how the darkness that has consumed the remaining survivors of Kenji’s gang, including Yoshitsune, whose paranoia gets the better of him as he struggles to maintain his leadership towards the underground organisation against the Friends.

Despite the dark content coming from the man who gave us Monster, Urasawa balances out with some humour as we got back to Kenji’s childhood where he has some funny interactions with Maruo. Another humorous standout is Kanna’s classmate Kyoko Koizumi, who has escaped from the Dream Navigators and find herself among the resistance and despite her naivety, she is somewhat the key in finding out the true identity of Friend.

As I’m now halfway through this series, and despite the tense revelations that occurred in this volume, Urasawa isn’t preparing to drop a major bombshell as this point in the epic story, which may juggle a giant cast of characters and jumps back and forth with the timeline, I’m still engaged by 20th Century Boys.

[Pipo · Rating 5 out of 5]

It’s like Ravel’s bolero. It circles around, very slowly growing and approaching some kind of grand moment, but every lap is enjoyable and adds another little element that you were waiting for. This volume of the Perfect Editions of 20th a century Boys reveals a lie, reveals that there’s was a gap in your understanding of how the story unfolded and maybe even shows you a face that you have been yearning to see. Could it be? You only get to know whether that was a gift or another deception if either you hang tight waiting for volume 7 of the Perfect Editions that will only be released March 2020 or you jump into the “imperfect” editions of the series. I’m going to wait, but seriously Viz Media, three months between each volume???

[Adam · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another strong volume. This is the series midpoint, and the narrative has gotten very dense and complex (perhaps overly so), but this volume mostly avoids Urasawa's occasional weak spots with contrived character motivations or far-fetched plotting, and instead focuses on the lean, well-drawn, suspenseful setpieces where he excels. It doesn't feel like we get a ton of advancement on the main mysteries at play, but the reveals we do get are satisfying, and the book ends with perhaps (unless it's a fakeout) the biggest reveal yet.

[Vishanth · Rating 4 out of 5]

Damn I've got so much to talk about
Don't even know where to begin cause that was a LOT

let's start with the Koizumi and Sadakiyo storyline. Sadakiyo reveal and introduction to the story was one I did not expect and found myself very emotional about. The storyline was incredibly intense and the revelations just keep coming. Did not expect Mon Chan to go out like that genuinely disheartening especially from Sadakiyo perspective. I don't how Urasaw deadass make me feel sorry for both a victim and the murderer. Not sure how I feel about Takasu having a bigger role as a villain, I feel like Manjome fits the secondary antagonist category much better. She simply feels like muscle and ill wait to see how this new storyline about her being the next holy mother will turn out. Also super bummed Sadakiyo got written out so quickly but knowing the context I get it. The whole sequence however was very emotional especially Kannas struggle about finding out her lineage.

Speaking of Kannas Lineage. I feel so incredibly stupid for not connecting the dots of Kiriko's disappearance, her dream to study microbiology, her connection with the friend and the virus. This is when you know you have an incredible mystery. When all the clues are layed out and you don't even connect them until it's revealed. Still wondering where this whole Holy mother storyline is going.

Next is Maruos return! Cool to see where he is and I quite like the new Haru character. Interesting to see a fellow rebel who wasn't part of the OG gang. We see seeds of various but unconnected rebel groups which feels very in tune for a real world dystopia.

Next is Otcho looking for a key scientist called Yamane. Who also just happens to be a school friend. I swear this one school year is somehow cursed to be main characters😂. This was interesting as it connected with Kiriko's backstory. What I did not expect was everyone storyline to finally connect to the friends reveal.

OK so at the end of volume 5 I had an idea of who the friend could be. I noticed Sadakiyo backstory intentionally omitted a key figure someone we know was once friends with him. I wondered whether they would address this and I started connecting dots. It is so goddamn cool when you connect the dots just when the Characters do. The climax of this volume had me flipping pages. What's great about this reveal is not that it was setup so well and foreshadowed heavily (I like how the Collins thing came back around) it's that even after I'm not even sure any of it is true and I'm more intrigued by the fact that we're only halfway through the series and we already have solved the biggest mystery of the story. Whether this transitions into something new or is a red herring I'm down for anything. Urasawa is proof a story can go anywhere and I'd be down for it simply because he is that good.

Encore un tome riche en émotions et en révélations ! Urasawa ne s’arrête plus…

On retrouve Kanna, qui se décide à filer à la maison de retraite pour secourir Kyôko et Sadakiyo, encerclés par les dreamnavigators d’Ami. Alors qu’elle aide les résidents à évacuer le bâtiment et que Yoshitsune et ses hommes arrivent en hélicoptère pour les exfiltrer, on apprend que Sadakiyo a tué Mon-Chan… Ce dernier l’avait en effet contacté pour obtenir des renseignements sur Ami mais Sadakiyo, encore loyal envers Ami à ce moment-là, a exécuté froidement ses ordres… Souhaitant sans doute se racheter, il décide de ne pas partir avec les autres et retourne dans le bâtiment dans le but d’aller confronter Ami. La suite sous-entend qu’il est mort assassiné dans sa voiture mais rien n’est moins sûr avec Urasawa… J’espère que ce n’est pas le cas car j’adorais ce personnage !

Retournée au QG avec les autres, Kanna se met en tête de retrouver sa mère, qu’elle n’a jamais vraiment connu, et qui pourrait détenir certaines réponses. Elle apprend que cette dernière a participé à la création du virus lâché par Ami sur le monde lors du bain de sang de l’an 2000, et découvre un mot laissé par elle : « Je suis Godzilla. J’ai piétiné 150 000 personnes. »

C’est ensuite au tour de Maruo, devenu manager d’une personnalité de la chanson et de la télévision, de réapparaître. Profitant du fait que ce dernier soit invité à rencontrer Ami, il s’apprête à se faire sauter dans le bâtiment à l’aide d’une ceinture d’explosifs… Refusant de sacrifier des innocents, il se ravise et se met en quête de l’identité d’Ami, qu’il finit par découvrir…

Quant à Otcho et Kakuta, ils se mettent en quête du docteur Yamane, ancien camarade de classe et lié à Ami et Kiriko. Ils atterrissent dans l’ancienne école de la bande à Kenji, dans laquelle ils découvrent qu’une réunion doit se tenir ici-même, cette nuit du 1er janvier 2015, dans la salle de sciences de l’école… Dans la salle, ils découvrent Yamane qui leur apprend qu’Ami va venir ici ce soir. Et c’est bien ce dernier qui se dévoile, raillant Otcho et Yamane et leur annonçant que ses hommes ont cerné le bâtiment. Mais Yamane, qui a décidé de mettre un terme à tout ça, sort une arme de sous sa veste et tire sur Ami…

La révélation finale de l’identité d’Ami, qui n’est autre que Fukube, confirme bien la théorie que j’avais développée et qui avait à mes yeux le plus de sens. Plusieurs questions restent en suspens cependant : Ami est-il vraiment mort ? Il serait déjà mort plusieurs fois, comment peut-il ressusciter ? Que s’est-il passé dans la salle de sciences en 1970 et qu’a vu Donkey ?
Maintenant que tout le monde est au fait de l’identité d’Ami, les choses vont sans doute bien bouger…

Ça me semble être un bon point pour faire une pause dans la série, j’ai enchaîné les tomes dernièrement et je pense que ça ne me fera pas de mal ! La suite promet d’être intense.

This is a review of the entire series.

Humanity, having faced extinction at the end of the 20th century, would not have entered the new millennium if it weren't 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 gang of boys who try to save the world. Failed rock musician Kenji's memories of his past come rushing back when one of his childhood friends mysteriously commits suicide. Could this new death be related to the rise of a bizarre new cult that's been implicated in several other murders and disappearances? Determined to dig deeper, Kenji reunites with some of his old buddies in the hope of learning the truth behind it all.

This is basically the manga equivalent of a Stephen King novel, channeling themes and plot devices from the likes of It, Dreamcatcher, The Running Man and quite a few others. A young group of friends that make an innocent promise which ends up creating the most dangerous cult in the world, a 'friend' turned into the world's greatest evil, a strange suicide that reunites a group of adults to solve a mystery from their childhood which ended up leading to an apocalyptic police state, clever use of cultural references, rock songs and historical allegories to tell the full story, extremely small actions resulting in extremely massive consequences, an eerie threat lurking in the shadows that may or may not be of supernatural origins, kids overthrowing a totalitarian regime and rebelling against society while fighting against a sinister threat that no one else knows about; sound King enough for ya?

Though I don't think it's quite as good as Monster by the same author, it's definitely very close. It's a masterpiece of intricate plotting, interweaving narratives, deep character development and psychological complexity. The villain's presence is suffocating from the very beginning while remaining mysterious and terrifying until the final chapter. It's intense, it's relatable, it's horrifying and it's an emotional rollercoaster. Be careful who you call your friend and be careful of the promises you make. You might just end up causing the end of the world.

Chronique complète :
https://sunread26.wordpress.com/2023/...

Extrait :
Avec ce tome j’en suis à la moitié de la série, je pense que je pourrais lire le spin off sur les mangakas désormais, mais au cas où, je le lirais quand même une fois cette série terminée. En tout cas, l’intrigue avance grandement avec ce nouveau tome, qui révèle pas mal de choses, dont l’identité d’Ami, plus que surprenante, mais qui pouvait être devinée avec le début du tome. En tout cas, comme le dit Yoshitsune, ses amis réapparaissent un à un, alors même qu’ils les croyaient morts… il en fait même partie d’ailleurs.

Parmi les amis qui reviennent, certains ont mieux vieillis que d’autres, Otcho et Yoshitsune ont l’air d’avoir pris un sacré coup de vieux quand même. Par contre, Mon-chan est bel et bien mort, et même pas à cause de sa maladie, s’en est presque triste. Pour les autres, tout est encore tellement flou, qu’ils pourraient très bien tous revenir au compte-goutte. Pour le nouveau retour, je ne dirais pas le nom du personnage, juste qu’il a bien vieilli pour le coup, et que je ne l’ai pas reconnu directement. Visiblement, même séparés, ils continuent tous, à leur manière, le combat contre ami et sa bande qui semble pourtant perdu d’avance tant ils ont pris de l’importance. Toutefois, avec la fin du tome et ses révélations, tout pourrait bien changer. Le monde entier est sur le point de basculer à nouveau dans la folie d’Ami, qui semble ne plus avoir de limite. Celui-ci perd ses premiers alliés les uns après les autres.

Pour le moment, pas de nouvelles sur la « sainte mère » si ce n’est qu’il s’agit bien de la mère de Kanna et la sœur ainée de Kenji. Personne dont Kanna finit par retrouver une trace et décide de la suivre, notamment dans l’espoir de ce dire, que non, elle n’a pas pu faire ça… Sauf que manque de bol, après le choc sur l’identité de son père, Kanna finit par apprendre que sa mère ne vaut pas vraiment mieux… Doctoresse, bactériologue, vous voyez où je souhaite en venir ? Sa mère semble être à l’origine du virus, elle ne l’a pas fait seule évidemment, mais elle fait partie des chercheurs du projet. Elle est aussi sûrement à l’origine du vaccin. C’est là qu’une nouvelle vérité ressort, le virus était déjà apparu au Japon ! Tout comme le vaccin, pourtant le parti d’Ami a fait croire qu’ils l’avaient créé avec le temps. C’est donc un mensonge, ils avaient déjà le vaccin avant même de le lâcher, et ils ont donc tués des innocents volontairement. La mère sait ce qu’elle a fait, la portée de ses actes, et finit par se comparer à Godzilla, parce qu’elle est mère, mais a tué. Pour Kanna, c’est la goutte de trop, son père et sa mère sont tous deux responsables d’un carnage (et d’un autre à venir, si ça continue). Elle ne sait plus trop quoi penser, et c’est bien normal.

This is yet another fantastic volume of Naoki Urasawa's sci-fi mystery. Volume six feels like a season finale episode of season 2. So much have been revealed, yet there are so many more plots details that still need to be addressed.

While I'm giving this five stars, some questions ran in my mind, possible loopholes that I was surprised to see, being someone who doesn't bother searching for them. Hopefully, some will be be addressed in late volumes, but there is one detail that I am doubtful if it will be addressed in the story, but as youtuber Ryan George's always says in his Pitch Meetings, "I'm going to need you to get all the way off of my back about that". Here's that detail:

Are the main characters really necessary for everything in the science lab at the end of the volume to happen? Correct me if I am wrong, but all of them are just effectively spectators, and it was really only Yamane who did something to advance the plot, with or without all other characters. Yamane would have done it either way.

Well that's just one minor gripe. Overall though, volume 6 a very solid read.

FUKUBE IS THE FRIEND?!?!

The big reveal finally happens. Personally, at the beginning I’d thought it was him or Keryeon. But it was such a great build-up towards the reveal.

But that’s not all: We finally found Mauro again. He is now apart of the friends as a manager for a popular singer and loved the scene where he was gonna be a Suicide bomber towards the friend. It shows his dramatic growth of character development on how he was a family loving man into what he is now.

Also we learned more about Kirko Endo, Kannas mom and she reveals how the world will end in 2015. Though I have a feeling that she is the leader of the dream catchers now, because of how she was praised as “Holy mother” and how she will birth the child of the “friend”. I could be 100% wrong but it’s a theory.

This story doesn’t miss!!! So good from beginning to end! Cannot wait to read the last volumes of the manga!

Another twisting and turning entry in the saga of 20th Century Boys. This volume felt good, but like the last few has felt like it's been getting a bit further away from the emotional storytelling, the strong character development, and the interesting relationships. As it goes along it feels more and more interested with the idea of mystery, intrigue, and page turning twists and reversals and reveals. It's always been a core component of the DNA of the story but it feels a little overwhelming at this point. In addition to the expanding character list, the continued cutting from different character and different time period, it can become a bit exhausting.

Overall still a strong series, and I appreciate that they do make some major reveals in this volume with still plenty left to tease out. I'll definitely see it to the conclusion, but I was hoping for a more even ride along the way.

O MY FREAKING GOSH?!?!
This volume was just amazing bro, the whole plot is coming up together and just what the hell bro.
I'm so amazed I cannot form coherent thoughts nor put words together. It's amazing how the author gives u enough hints through the end of the volume for u to notice who's under the mask for u to start suspecting it's Fukubee but without actually telling you, so it's still a shocker when they reveal it was him under the mask. I had my suspicions but I really didn't think it would be him because he fell from the skyscraper and all that, but then Maruo visits "his home" and then's when u get it... And Maruo's also alive?!?!
I don't even know why I'm getting this excited cause I'm still HALF WAY THERE and I know this ain't it.
Well I'mma read the next one bye.

Another solid volume. All the characters are really fleshed out by now, so they’re all fun to read and watch interact with one another as they advance the mystery some more.

However, I did think the reveal at the end of this volume was a tad lacklustre; I lowkey didn’t remember the guy under the mask at all, and had to go back to a previous volume to remember him. Although, thinking about it now, I suppose that’s actually fitting for his character haha, since he’s the ‘guy in the background’.

Also, occasionally Urasawa will insert scenes of characters recapping a bunch of information in extended dialogue, which is fine, but… a little tedious at times to be honest.

Still a really good read though, and I’m excited to read more.

Sognatori….

Volume 6 molto lento ma con un finale bomba dove ci viene rivelato il volto.

È stato un volume ricco di colpi di scena anche se molto lenti e alcuni un po’ tanto nascosti e lasciati in secondo piano
Ho apprezzato però che viene messo in risalto il ruolo della madre di Kanna e che vediamo di più lei sotto un lato più giovane e più maturo pronta ad arrivare a una conclusione.

I disegni anche qui sono sempre spettacolari e sono rimasta diciamo un po’ più soddisfatta del 5?

Però con questo volume ci stiamo avvicinando alla fine mi mette un po’ di agitazione però non vedo l’ora di arrivare alla conclusione e di vedere come finirà

Buona lettura a tutti
