A looming threat meets a public spectacle

Volume 8 brings the series’ apocalyptic conflict into a world unsettled by a spreading virus. As preparations continue for the 2015 World Expo, rumors of the deceased Friend’s return and a possible attempt on the pope create a collision between public hope and mounting uncertainty. The installment connects the group’s childhood symbol to dangers resurfacing decades later, keeping the story’s long arc of friendship, conspiracy, and threatened catastrophe in view.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For manga readers following Naoki Urasawa’s 20th Century Boys series.

Book overview

A deluxe bind-up edition of Naoki Urasawa's 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 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 group of boys who try to save the world.

Evil has come. Justice has yet to arrive...

While an unknown virus spreads and cripples the world with fear, the 2015 World Expo prepares to start, serving as a beacon of hope in a dark world. But how can our heroes remain hopeful as strange rumors start to spread? Between sightings of the recently deceased Friend walking the streets of Japan and rumors of an assassination attempt on the pope, all signs point towards an eventful opening ceremony for the 2015 World Expo.
