A robot detective and a pattern of attacks

In a world where humans and robots coexist, the destruction of a celebrated Swiss robot and the murder of a figure in a robot-rights group appear to be separate crimes. A strange detail at both scenes connects them, drawing Interpol detective Gesicht into a case involving the world’s seven great robots. The investigation takes on a personal dimension when Gesicht discovers he is among those being targeted. Volume 1 sets up a mystery that links questions of robot rights with a threat aimed at some of the most powerful machines in its world.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Manga readers interested in science-fiction mysteries
  • Readers drawn to stories about robots, coexistence, and rights
  • Fans of investigations that connect seemingly separate crimes

Book overview

Who Killed Astro Boy?

In an ideal world where man and robots coexist, someone or something is after the seven great robots of the world. Interpol assigns robot detective Gesicht to this most strange and complex case--and he eventually discovers that he is one of the targets!

In an ideal world where man and robots coexist, someone or something has destroyed the powerful Swiss robot Mont Blanc. Elsewhere a key figure in a robot rights group is murdered. The two incidents appear to be unrelated...except for one very conspicuous clue - the bodies of both victims have been fashioned into some sort of bizarre collage complete with makeshift horns placed by the victims' heads. Interpol assigns robot detective Gesicht to this most strange and complex case - and he eventually discovers that he too, as one of the seven great robots of the world, is one of the targets.
