Monster and Pluto and all things awesome
I’m reading Pluto right now and I’m still working my way through Monster. What strikes me about both these series is that Urasawa makes it look so easy. The plots, the twists, the pain, it all just runs on and on without a hiccup and you tend to forget how well crafted it is. Sometimes it takes me reading another manga, maybe one that’s pretty good but not, you know, Urasawa good to make me truly appreciate these stories.
So go, watch the anime, tell me if it holds up to the manga. I’m on a prose vacation this week. I’m reading Son of Witch, the sequel to Wicked. I should have done this long ago but I got distracted. Pluto made me think of it actually because, while some people might think writers dappling in other writer’s worlds is a rip-off, I love seeing what new eyes can do to a place.

Oooo! Such temptation! But I’m going to wait and read Monster before I watch it!
Pluto *is* great! I told a friend if he ever wanted to try Manga, he should start with that.
