20th Century Boys is one of THE BEST manga I have ever read in a long time.
22 volumes of goodness, 249 chapters of awesomeness.
Urasawa Naoki, you are a god!!
He also wrote and drew the Monster manga.
If they made this into an anime it would be a very spectacular one, the story is definitly unique, I havent read anything that has the plot line as 20thCB.
Plot is as follows.
Kenji and his friends decided to make a book of Prophecy when they are little kids in the 60s-70s, and when they grow up, what they written in their book came true and the world is on the brink of extinction. An organazation called "Friend" is doing the prophetic work, Kenji and his friends goes seaching for who this "Friend" and why "Friend" is doing it.
The sequel 21st Century Boys puts an ending to the manga with 16 chapters.
