The Astro Boy manga series continues with one of the coolest and longest stories: The Greatest Robot in the World. An evil sultan creates a super-robot named Pluto, built for the sole purpose of destroying the best robots from all over the world. Of course, one of those robots is Astro! There are plenty of battles, but also some great plot developments, such as Astro being modified to one million horsepower so he can face Pluto! There's also some funny scenes with Astro's sister, Uran, who feels sorry for Pluto, since it's not his fault that his orders are to fight everyone. The second story in this volume is short, but pretty interesting. A crazy professor makes a machine that emits "crazy rays", causing all machinery to go berserk. Save us, Astro! I love reading a long series - with 18 volumes in all, I have many adventures ahead of me!Labels: astro boy, manga, tezuka
