Naoki Urasawa | 2019 | 20th century boys: the perfect edition
Humanity's survival into the new millennium hinges on a group of friends who, in their youth, created a symbol. As a looming disaster from the end of the 20th century begins to manifest in 1997, that symbol reappears. This volume follows the efforts of these friends as they strive to protect the world from impending destruction. A figure known as Shogun escapes a formidable prison to aid in this mission, heading towards Tokyo where "the Last Hope" resides. Meanwhile, the city is gripped by chaos following a murder that ignites a chain reaction of terror, threatening to expose the fragile peace maintained by "the Friend." The truth behind the catastrophic events of the last day of the 20th century is about to be revealed.
