In a world where humans and robots coexist, robot detective Gesicht faces a chilling mystery: someone is hunting the seven great robots, and he's on the list. As he delves deeper, the line between ally and enemy blurs, and the shadowy figure of Pluto emerges. Can Gesicht unravel the motives behind the carnage before it's too late? This gripping tale of suspense and science fiction challenges the boundaries of coexistence and identity, leaving readers questioning who—or what—truly holds the power.
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.
