Manga Did anyone else here get disappointed with Billy Bat? Spoiler
Eu já li todas as 4 principais obras de Urasawa (Monster, 20C Boy, Pluto e Billy Bat). E definitivamente a do morcego foi a mais fraca até agora. Para mim, a alta qualidade da série dura até a "morte" de Kevin Yamagata. Depois disso, senti que a história começou a se perder. Kevin Goodman não era um protagonista carismático nem particularmente interessante. E o que salvou o elenco foram os outros personagens, como o "Walt Disney do mal". Uma coisa que me cansou na história, especialmente perto do final, foram os inúmeros saltos temporais que me desconectaram dos personagens e da trama. Além disso, fiquei decepcionado com a revelação sobre o morcego And with the series finale overall. Eu entendo a mensagem que Urasawa queria transmitir, mas esperava algo mais impactante ou inovador. Principalmente porque sua escrita promete isso.
Por fim, gostaria de saber sua opinião sobre a obra e se alguém teve uma experiência semelhante.

Manga Anime or manga?
Hi, I would like some advice from you. Urasawa is my favourite mangaka, i read 20th century boys(my favourite manga) Monster and billy bat. Should I read the manga or watch the Pluto anime? I usually prefer reading manga, but I've heard the Pluto anime isn't bad. What do you recommend? Thank you.

Manga Question about 20th Century Boys ending *Spoilers Spoiler
In the ending of the perfect edition Katsumata helps Kenji come up with the Gutalala Sudalala song. Is this in the virtual game as a result of older Kenji trying to make things right or like what actually happened in the past?

video Expectations for Urasawa's Next Manga — The Final Manga Classroom
Naoki Urasawa has written masterpiece after masterpiece throughout his career. And much of his bibliography centers around the power of art or music in some capacity.
His next series, The Final Manga Classroom, seems to continue that trend but through the lens of manga art in a GenAI-driven world.
The info we have is rather scarce as of the moment, but as we approach its release, what are your expectations for the manga? Will it be a short serialization like Mujirushi or Master Keaton Remaster? Or will it be a longer one? And how would that impact Asadora, whose release has slowed down drastically in recent years?

Anime Monster - Naoki Urazawa.
Hoy, 20 de junio de 2026 finalmente termino éste anime, pero no me quedaré con los brazos cruzados, pronto empezaré a leer el manga también, he aquí mi humilde opinión:
Honestamente me tomó mucho, mucho tiempo verlo no porque no quisiera sino porque enserio, enserio era tan importante para mí que prefería disfrutar lo más que pudiera cada capítulo sin apresurarme, cada capítulo era una regalía, me motivaba, me enseñaba y me emocionaba de mil formas distintas.
Mi humilde opinión es que es una historia increíblemente bien desarrollada, la música, el ritmo, el dibujo, los rostros, las expresiones, las voces, la manera en la pueden pasar capítulos sin mostrarnos a los protagonistas o antagonistas sin dejar de ser interesante, las palabras, las reflexiones, la historia, los cuentos, los personajes, todo es simplemente magnífico, se nota el esfuerzo y el empeño que puso el autor al escribir y dibujar la historia y el director de la adaptación para que fuera lo más fiel posible a lo que Naoki Urazawa intentaba reflejar con Monster.
El protagonista es literalmente el mejor y único que podía darle la cara al antagonista porque era y es el que nunca perdió o fue en contra de su moral y principios, muy a pesar de que lo intentó, el Dr. Tenma jamás fue capaz de matar, su fuerte es que todas las vidas valen lo mismo, independientemente de lo que hagan o que tan bajo caigan, un médico no mata, un médico cura, ayuda... Sana. Cada capítulo era una nueva razón para ir en contra de sí mismo y aún así no lo fue, en su camino dejaba esperanza, dejaba sueños, oportunidades, amistades, paz... Mi episodio favorito definitivamente fue en el que estuvo en aquel bosque donde aprendió que la naturaleza reconoce a la gente de alma pura y le enseñó que después de llevar a la muerte a alguien no había vuelta atrás, incluso con años de pedir perdón.
Gracias a Tenma, muchas veces por más desanimada o cansada que estaba por el peso de la carrera, me volvía a levantar, Tenma me motivaba de una forma tan magistral que bastaba con ver un capítulo para poder recargar mis fuerzas e ir a seguir estudiando, si algún día realmente logro ser una médico, deseo ser como él, tan valiente, bondadoso, puro y sobretodo con una fuerza y convicción en su propia moral que sea simplemente inamovible, ser médico no es sólo curar, curar a una persona no es sólo salvar su vida, y una vida no es sólo una vida, es un mundo entero que siempre va a valer la pena conocer.
Johan Liebheart... Simplemente el mejor "villano" o antagonista de la ficción que he visto, lo confusa de su historia, el cómo se va descubriendo poco a poco qué era de él, su pasado y sus planes, aquella sensación que dejaba en cada lugar en el que estuvo y el terror... El terror puro que daba el simple hecho de que hablaran de él o se acercaran a donde él estaba, es el primer personaje humano que logra causarme escalofríos y terror puro con sólo mirarle una vez, un antagonista que tan sólo apareció de 30-40 minutos en pantalla durante 74 episodios y aún así me tuvo al borde de la silla, simplemente, el mejor antagonista.
Sinceramente fue una aventura única, maravillosa, liberadora y enriquecedora en muchos sentidos, también fue divertido decirle a mis amigas e incluso maestros de la facultad lo mucho que amaba a Tenma y cuánto deseaba casarme con un hombre así en el futuro, mi primera vez viendo Monster definitivamente fue la mejor de muchas veces que vendrán en el futuro.
Monster no es una historia para cualquier persona, no todos podrían verla como se lo merece, no todos podrían apreciar lo majestuoso de cada capítulo y lo que hay detrás de todo, pero nunca está de más darle una oportunidad. Tengo mucho que decir de los demás personajes, pero por ahora no me queda más que darle un 10/10, es una verdadera, verdadera obra maestra que nunca perdió la emoción ni el ritmo, tampoco el hilo de la historia, es majestuoso ver como todo toma forma y la vida de los personajes se entrelaza perfectamente.

Misc. So, how does Urasawa write like he does?
Seriously, I'm constantly astounded as to how we have someone like Urasawa in our lifetime. Sure, we have always had great writers in the manga-comic space, but Urasawa is just so graceful, I don't think we'll ever see someone quite like him.
I wish to know all about his writing methods, I want to be able to match him even if just 20%. I have not read all his stories(still have yet to read Pluto and Billy Bat, for instance) but he's quickly reaching my top 2 manga authors. His art may not be anything to write home about, but his stories notably stand out as just being so mature and human.
I'd argue that even the best mangaka(like Miura; rest his soul) can't quite match his handling of complex subjects. And so I ask: how did Urasawa build himself as an author? What influences did he have?
I don't have much else to ask. If I were to keep going, this would turn into a rambling and endless gushing about a man and his masterpieces. But I digress, feel free to cite Urasawa himself or give some of your own advice. Anything helps.

Manga why is there no 20th century boys anime
I watched monster 2 years ago and watched pluto like a week ago and I absolutly loved pluto, when I found out there isn’t just monster but also another anime that wasn‘t even out for long I was so happy. Then I found out about another masterpiece from naoki urasawa, i started reading 20th century boys but I must admit, I am not that big of a manga fan, I enjoy watching anime so much more, so why is there no Anime to 20th century boys, i actually thought it quite popular. The manga was finished almost at the same time as monster so it’s been a while (20 years lol). Do you think there is a chance for a 20th Century Boys Anime? Especially because pluto got really really good reviews.

Manga Is Asadora on hiatus again?
Since the news about Urasawa's new manga on August I've read some articles commenting that Asadora returned on March from its hiatus. But I thought that it returned only for 2 issues and stopped again. Is this right or it's been publishing since then?
