it was amazing

Whoa this was intense, well told, and visually great. This is a wonderful start to what might be my favorite Urasawa series and that's saying something.

So this is a world filled with Androids living with humans. They are trying their best to get apart of humanity and learn about it, and maybe even become it? It's a mix of emotions and storylines that all come together well. The story is really about a robot named Gesicht, a detective, who is finding out why others like him are dying. Something, someone, is killing them. It's a mystery that starts to grow into touching stories about human and robots working together.

Good: The fights, the talking, the quiet moments all come together so well. Touching moments that made me smile, laugh, and want to cry for the characters work all too well. The pacing is great, slow, but not ever boring, and the characters really feel well thought out and crafted. This is by far one of the most intriguing mysteries I've read in awhile.

Bad: Some of the flashbacks can be a bit confusing at times.

Overall this is great, amazing, and well done. I recommend this to everyone looking for a new Manga should check this out. Urasawa is one of the best writers ever to hop on the manga train. A 4.5 out of 5.
