20th Century Boys/ 20世紀少年

Althought i didn't read this manga before. I been wanting to read since long time ago. I recommend this manga as this mangaka(author) Naoki Urasawa(浦沢直樹) is one of my favourite ones. His drawing is more to the mature readers. I have read his previous work Monster. I got stuck to it. It's awesome that he plan the storyline so well that you feel like watching a movie. At first, you will feel confused as to what is happening and what will happen next. That's the thing i like about. ^^ So, without reading 20th Century Boys(20世紀少年), i know it will be nice.

Story:

Growing older is pretty rough and Kenji is finding out just how hard it can be as life starts wearing down on him. On top of trying to make ends meet running a convenience store he has to care for the niece that his missing sister left in his care. Memories of youth make it easier, until those memories come back to haunt him.

Kenji and his old friends are slowly being drawn into a mysterious conspiracy that could threaten the world. Who is the mysterious "Friend" and how does he tie into Kenji's youth? Why are there disappearances and deaths tied into Ochanomizu University? Their memories hold the keys to the puzzle, but time and age have clouded their minds.

The strange occurrences and the reach of the "Friend" conspiracy grow by the day. It will all culminate on New Year's Eve 2000. Will Kenji and the others be able to put together the puzzle and save the world?
