A robot detective investigates a threat to the world’s greatest robots

Set in a world where humans and robots coexist, the series premise follows Interpol robot detective Gesicht as he investigates attacks on seven renowned robots—and learns he is among the targets. This volume belongs to Naoki Urasawa’s reinvention of Osamu Tezuka’s “The Greatest Robot on Earth” story arc, bringing a science-fiction mystery together with questions of motive and the place of robots in human society. The supplied description outlines the broader premise rather than events specific to Volume 3.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in science-fiction manga about humans and robots sharing a world.
  • Fans of detective mysteries centered on a case involving multiple targets.
  • Readers curious about Urasawa’s reworking of a story arc from Tezuka’s Astro Boy series.

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 this daring reinvention of "The Greatest Robot on Earth" story arc from Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy series, the world is a place where humans and robots coexist. The lives of the seven great robots of the world--Atom, Mont Blanc, North No. 2, Brando, Hercules, Epsilon and Gesicht--are turned upside down into a virtual garden of terror filled with carnage and destruction. A killer is after them, but what exactly is his motive? The story intensifies when Pluto, the namesake of the lord of the underworld, makes his appearance in this finely crafted work of science fiction and suspense.
