New Releases by Takashi Nagasaki

Il detective Gesicht, robot dalle sembianze umane, indaga sulle misteriose morti di Mont-Blanc, celebre e amato robot, e di Bernard Lange, leader del gruppo per la difesa dei diritti dei robot. In un mondo del futuro, complesso e plumbeo, si respira un clima di pericolo e tensione. Urasawa, geniale autore di “20th Century Boys” e “Monster”, si misura con il dio dei manga Osamu Tezuka e con Tetsuwan Atom, celebre serie conosciuta in Italia come Astro Boy. Pluto è un capolavoro noir mischiato alla fantascienza. Da non perdere.

Astro, de retour, a percé tous les mystères de Pluto et pour sauver la terre de la destruction, il risque sa vie dans un ultime combat. Au fond de son cœur, il garde le souvenir de ses amis disparus : Gesicht, Mont-blanc, North 2, Brando, Hercule, Epsilon...!! Voici le dernier tome d''une passionnante version XXIe siècle d''Astro Boy!!

Dans un monde futuriste où les robots vivent comme des humains, des crimes mystérieux se succèdent. Des robots et des chercheurs renommés sont assassinés dans des circonstances très étranges. Toutes les victimes sont retrouvées avec un ornement en forme de cornes sur leur tête. Gesicht, un inspecteur robot, est chargé de l''affaire. Il découvre que les victimes sont des vétérans du dernier conflit d''Asie centrale, et que les robots visés sont les sept robots les plus puissants de la planète, dont il fait lui-même partie ! L''inspecteur Gesicht part alors à la rencontre des personnes et robots menacés pour tenter de les protéger du danger.

Parmi les sept robots les plus forts du monde, six ont déjà été détruits par Pluto…! Il ne reste plus qu’Epsilon ! Un robot non-combattant, généreux et bon, qui a refusé d’effectuer son service militaire et s’occupe désormais des orphelins de guerre. Et c’est lui qui se dirige vers le champ de bataille ! Capable de manipuler à sa guise l''énergie solaire, il s''avère être le plus redoutable adversaire de Pluto.

Les forces de police sont en émoi : une nouvelle victime a été retrouvée. Il s''agit, cette fois, d''un juriste qui est l''un des initiateurs de la loi internationale sur les droits des robots et tout laisse penser que avant de mourir il allait contacter le professeur Ochanomizu du ministère des sciences. Pendant ce temps, l''inspecteur Gesicht qui poursuit sa tournée des robots les plus puissants de la planète, rencontre un robot à l''apparence d''un petit garçon ? qui, Gesicht le devine tout de suite, est bien plus perfectionné qu''il ne l''est lui-même. Il se prénomme Astro.

Les robots les plus forts du monde sont détruits les uns après les autres. Les ex-membres de la Commission Bora sont victimes d’attaques, eux aussi. L’affaire est entourée de mystère ! Serait-ce le créateur d’Astro, le professeur Tenma, qui détiendrait la clef de l’énigme? Un suspense de S.-F. pour le moins explosif !!

Au cours de son enquête sur une série de meurtres de robots, l’inspecteur-robot Gesicht découvre qu’un sentiment de haine entre les hommes et les robots semble être à l’origine de l’affaire. Quant à lui, il va bientôt révéler ses effroyables souvenirs…

Astro, Mont-blanc, North 2, Brando, Hercule, Epsilon, et enfin Gesicht ! Les plus puissants et les plus fantastiques robots du monde sont en proie à une véritable terreur ! Dans un société où cohabitent robots et humains, les meurtres et les destructions se succèdent... mais qui est le criminel ? Et quel est son objectif ?! Avec l''apparition du Roi des enfers, ce suspense de science-fiction prend une autre dimension !!

Pluto… Sahad… Goji… Abullah… De mystérieux personnages entrent en scène… Gesicht les poursuit et découvre enfin ce qui se cache derrière ces effrayants meurtres en série de robots !

In an ideal world where man and robots coexist, someone or something has destroyed the powerful Swiss robot Mont Blanc. Elsewhere a key figure in a robot rights group is murdered. The two incidents appear to be unrelated...except for one very conspicuous clue - the bodies of both victims have been fashioned into some sort of bizarre collage complete with makeshift horns placed by the victims'' heads. Interpol assigns robot detective Gesicht to this most strange and complex case - and he eventually discovers that he too, as one of the seven great robots of the world, is one of the targets. -- VIZ Media

Pluto has destroyed six out of the seven great robots of the world, and the pacifist robot Epsilon is the only one that remains. Will Epsilon, who refused to participate in the 39th Central Asian War, leave behind his war-orphaned charges to step onto the battlefield? It just might be that kindly Epsilon, who wields the limitless power of photon energy, will be Pluto''s greatest opponent of all! -- VIZ Media

Pluto... Sahad... Goji... Abullah... Mysterious figures somehow involved with the serial murders of the great robots of the world. Europol''s top robot detective Gesicht has been put on the case, and he''s mere steps away from discovering the horrifying truth behind the killer and his motives... Little does he realize that he''s also steps away from discovering a horrifying truth of his own... Masterfully crafted science fiction and suspense at its best! -- VIZ Media

Final Volume! Atom is back, and the fate of the earth is in his hands! Now that Atom has all the answers to the unsolved mysteries around Pluto, Bora and more, he''s prepared to put everything on the line. With the memory of his fallen brethren--Gesicht, Mont Blanc, North No. 2, Brando, Hercules and Epsilon--etched deeply into his heart, Atom is headed for one last battle to save the world! -- VIZ Media

Deep into his investigation of the serial murders of the great robots of the world and the former members of the Bora Survey Group, Gesicht discovers the hatred that exists between man and robot. He also begins to unlock another mystery about a memory of his own that had been locked away and all but forgotten...Meanwhile, the mighty Hercules is out for revenge and is finally about to take on the mysterious Pluto! -- VIZ Media

The seven great robots of the world are being destroyed one after the other, and the former members of the politically charged Bora Survey Group are also being targeted. Could Professor Tenma, the man who created the Japanese boy robot Atom, hold the key to finding the killer and his motive? The latest developments in the investigation send shock waves throughout the world in this masterful work of science fiction and suspense. -- VIZ Media

In this daring reinvention of "The Greatest Robot on Earth" story arc from Osamu Tezuka''s Astro Boy series, the world is a place where humans and robots coexist. The lives of the seven great robots of the world--Atom, Mont Blanc, North No. 2, Brando, Hercules, Epsilon and Gesicht--are turned upside down into a virtual garden of terror filled with carnage and destruction. A killer is after them, but what exactly is his motive? The story intensifies when Pluto, the namesake of the lord of the underworld, makes his appearance in this finely crafted work of science fiction and suspense. -- VIZ Media

Eine ideale Welt, in der Menschen und Roboter friedlich koexistieren... Doch plötzlich macht jemand - oder etwas? - Jagd auf die sieben großen Roboter der Welt. Als erster wird der weltberühmte Roboter Montblanc zerstört. Interpol setzt den in Düsseldorf ermittelnden Inspektor Gesicht auf diesen seltsamen und äußerst komplexen Fall an - bis dieser erkennt, dass er selbst zu den Gejagten gehört... PLUTO ist eine Atem beraubende, hochmoderne Neuinterpretation einer klassischen "Astro Boy"-Geschichte, sensationell adaptiert von Naoki Urasawa und Takashi Nagasaki. Ein futuristisches, preisgekröntes Spannungs-Meisterwerk für erwachsene Manga- und Comicfans - in seiner Bedeutung für das Medium steht PLUTO auf einer Stufe mit Neo-Klassikern wie AKIRA oder WATCHMEN, grafisch erinnert die Serie mitunter an Film-Meisterwerke wie BLADE RUNNER. In Japan wurde PLUTO 2005 doppelt ausgezeichnet - mit dem "Japan Media Arts Festival Prize For Excellence" und dem "Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize Grand Prize". Das Branchenblatt PUBLISHER''S WEEKLY empfiehlt PLUTO als "Pflichtlektüre", die US-Ausgabe stand 2009 auf gleich 19 Manga-Bestenlisten. 2010 folgten mehrere Nominierungen - darunter für gleich drei Eisner-Awards in den USA und den "Preis der Comicläden" in Frankreich. 2011 wurde PLUTO - als einziger Manga - auf dem Comicfestival Angoulême (Frankreich) ausgezeichnet, mit dem "Prix intergénérations". Eine Anime-Adaption ist in Vorbereitung. PLUTO liegt nun in insgesamt acht Bänden komplett vor - im Paperback-Format 14,5 x 21 cm als Klappenbroschur und in original japanischer Leserichtung.

Level Comic: Police Girl Maruka 5 adalah serial manga Jepang yang ditulis dan diilustrasikan oleh Yoshinobu Yamada. Ini mengikuti sekelompok remaja yang selamat dari kecelakaan pesawat yang menemukan diri mereka di sebuah pulau misterius yang dihuni oleh makhluk dan tumbuhan prasejarah yang punah. Itu diserialkan di Majalah Shonen Mingguan Kodansha dari November 2008 hingga Januari 2013, dengan bab-babnya dikumpulkan dalam 21 volume tankōbon . Ini telah dilisensikan untuk rilis bahasa Inggris di Amerika Utara oleh Kodansha USA. Cage of Eden sebenarnya memiliki potensi menjadi salah satu manga petualangan dan misteri terbaik. Manga ini memiliki segalanya. Bukan saja kualitas gambar tapi juga kualitas alur cerita yang menegangkan, ditambah juga misteri-misteri yang selalu muncul. Kita sebagai pembaca pastilah menerka apa yang sedang terjadi dari potongan-potongan teka- teki di setiap bab -nya dan berharap pada akhirnya, tirai misteri kisah di manga ini kemudian terbuka. Tapi Ya ampun, apa yang kita harapkan tidak terjadi. Cerita misteri yang dibangun sejak awal bab harus rusak karena akhir yang begitu mengecewakan dan menyisakan plothole yang tak terjawab. Kesan terburu-buru sangat terlihat sehingga manga ini mengalami akhir yang tidak jelas. Ini ditambah dengan fans service yang tidak perlu dan berhamburan di sana sini. Sayang sekali memang, padahal potensi manga ini sangat besar. Tapi tentu manga ini sangat bagus untuk dibaca dan sangat sayang jika dilewatkan. Saya sangat menyarankan untuk menyatakan, bukan saja karena bagusnya kualitas manga ini tapi lebih kepada Anda juga merasakan sensasi membaca mengerikan. Muncul perkembangan baru mengenai “kasus Rossini,” penculikan misterius empat tahun sekali. Okina dan Maruka yang diam-diam terus mencari pelakunya, mendadak bertemu dengan orang yang diduga menjadi dalang di balik kasus itu. Siapakah dia!? Hewan-Hewan Apartemen Hinomaru seri ke-5. Aku Cherry. Karena aku baru ditemukan, umurku tidak jelas. Aku bukan musang, ermine, cerpelai, atau otter. Aku ferret! Makanan kesukaanku buah kering semacam kismis. Aku pendiam, jadi tidak mencolok seperti anjing atau kucing, tapi aku ada di suatu tempat, jadi tolong cari aku, ya! Apakah akan ketemu? Yuk, ikuti kisah mereka hingga akhir!
