A robot’s place in a human world

Created by a brilliant scientist as a replacement for his lost son, Astro Boy is a powerful robot whose adventures raise a question of personhood: can a robot have a soul? The publisher description frames him as a defender of the vulnerable across human, alien, and robot communities. This omnibus gathers nearly seven hundred pages of stories, bringing together action and whimsy within a classic manga-comics setting. Its premise connects superheroic conflict with questions of belonging and how different kinds of beings are treated.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Manga readers interested in classic comics and animation traditions
  • Readers drawn to robot heroes and science-fiction adventures
  • Readers interested in stories about compassion across human and nonhuman communities
