A deluxe bind-up edition of Naoki Urasawa’s award-winning epic of doomsday cults, giant robots and a group of friends trying to save the world from destruction! Humanity, having faced extinction at the end of the 20th century, would not have entered the new millennium if it weren’t for them. In 1969, during their youth, they created a symbol. In 1997, as the coming disaster slowly starts to unfold, that symbol returns. This is the story of a group of boys who try to save the world. The war is over. The Friend is dead. Finally free from the threat of extinction, peace has come to the people of Tokyo once again. But the mystery surrounding the Friend still remains. Nobody knows who the Friend was or where he came from, and the only clue is hidden deep in the Kenji’s memories. The time has come to open Pandora’s box and see what was left behind. Review: ITS NOT AN EPILOGUE, it’s THE TRUE ENDING! - The relieve I felt after finishing this volume, was unlike any other. I was preparing my self to treat 21th century boys like the last season of game of thrones. Where up till the end it laid the biggest dump imaginable. Here it’s not the case. I’ve read in many places that this acted as an epilogue, and that couldn’t be farther from the truth. This is essentially vol12 for the perfect editions. There is so much that happens in this volume, I can’t fathom how someone sees it as one (an epilogue). It so much more. This is the definitive ending of the story, I heard there some changes to the original manga run. But what I got here was pretty satisfying overall. 20th century boys is an all time classic. If I had to rate it, it’s a strong 9/10. Unlike anything I’ve seen. What a ride. Review: Great Ending - I've read the whole series, and it is one of the best manga series I've ever read.

Good story
I read the whole series. Admittedly, I've gotten a bit jaded with story (all forms of media) in my mid-life. 21st Century Boys was refreshingly big hearted, perhaps a little cheesy at times, but innovative. It teases the use of super hero tropes, but pulls back from them to focus on good story telling and character development. I think it was longer than it needed to be and this may have made the story a little slow at times. I didn't devour it like other good works. Still worth the read though.

Great Manga, only one little thing.....
The Manga itself is, as always, just great. The story can be a little weak at times, but the characters are all so damn loveable. ('Friends' excepted, of course.) I have just a little issue with this 12th and final volume, and this will sound a little anal, but here goes: of all 12 volumes, this is the only one that isn't numbered on the spine. So my collection reads volumes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11, and........volume nothing! It's no big deal of course, and there are no issues within the pages.
