The End Of Pluto: New Manga Releases from Osamu Tezuka

I know it’s a gloomy week so far, and no one really wants to go out in this weather, but if there was ever an excuse to get your feet damp and squishy I believe good books are it, and this week we have some good books. Let’s start with the 8th and final volume of Pluto, the Urasawa X Tezuka collaboration event.

PS: If you haven’t started reading Pluto already, what is wrong with you? […]
