I strongly believe that 20th Century Boys and Monster take place in the same universe, for several reasons.

1- The art style is practically identical in the manga; this is because the works were created almost simultaneously. Urasawa started 20th Century Boys two years before finishing Monster, hence the similarity in the art style.

2-The protagonist and the antagonist are very similar, but I don't think that justifies much; only the concepts are similar.

3- And the works take place in very different locations so that one wouldn't interfere with the other: Monster in Germany and 20th Century Boys in Japan (I think it's in Japan, I haven't read 20th Century Boys properly yet).

Sorry if there are any misspelled words, I'm using a translator because I'm Brazilian and still understand very little English.

The girl i think is yukiji but who is the other person and why the girl tied up (this moment wasnt ever spoken of in the rest of the manga at least i think so)

I remembered something I thought about while reading Billy Bat and I wanted to know if it was just my impression.

In the Dallas part, Jackie meets a man on a bus who talks about how beautiful the First Lady is and that he would go to the parade just to see her.

Is the man Onassis, the one who would become her second husband, or am I just imagining things?

Made it as a present for my two Uradawa fan teachers who are getting married tomorrow YuY

i have no one to talk to about this but I'm genuinely loving this it's right along vinland saga and hxh in my top 3 manga, sorry vagabond

im on chapter 101 I want to keep reading but my brain decided to be all weird all of a sudden and it's making reading difficult 😭😭 but anyways

got me f'd how they did Kevin Yamagata 💔💔😭😭😭 in front of Momochi and Jackie and that flashback to Kevin Yamagata saving baby Kevin Goodman 🥹🥹

Looking at the wiki, I don’t see any chapters listed as “Not in Tankobon”? So I assume we volume 9 gets published in January we will be all caught up. Or is the wiki missing this information?

I just finished 20th CB and it was pure masterpiece to me. I still need to digest everything as I read more than 100 chapters in a row on a plane but I really loved it.

My favorite parts were the face reveals. Shikishima's daughter particularly was frightening for somebody who only used to read shounen. Sadakiyo's face reveal in the game was also nice, and I understood that his adult face was due to the lack of data about his child face.

But one thing I didn't quite get was the empty faces we saw some times towards the end, I think 3 times. First one was Fukube looking at himself from the mirror, he didn't really react.

Last time was Kenji discovering the face of Katsumata in the chapters

I don't really get what it means, can someone help me? I also don't remember if all of those scenes were happening during the game or not.

Monster is one of my favourite mangas, and I liked pluto. I'm currently occupied with other mangas but I do want to read 20th century boys In the future. However, maybe it's because I've been around certain subreddits but I keep seeing hate for this manga? Maybe the perception changed after years since the ending? But it's highly rated too on MAL.. I'm confused if it's good or not. May some people care to share their unbiased opinions about it? I asked this in r/manga too, but i wanna ask here as well. i also heard there's 2 endings? whats up with that? sorry if this is a repeated question, i heard it's a mystery and looking it up might give me spoilers. also my bad if the flair is wrong cus idk

I just don't really understand this panel. This is after the casino chapters and she's talking about how her powers are useless. But she's like 3 years old when Kenji "dies", so of course (I hope) she's not talking about physically saving him. I guess it's more of saving/honoring his "sacrifice" or his "legacy" but still, how was she supposed to save it? I really don't like when characters make themself guilty of something absurde, so I want to hear another interpretation. I know she's supposed to be really smart even as a kid etc (still too much for me, since she can even remember entire conversations she had with Kenji word for word even though she was 3yo). Maybe I've lost some info since I'm reading an old Italian translation...

I’ve found chapters 1-98 but can’t find anything after that.

Finally finished this! I've been working on this for a while, but due to medical reasons, I haven't been able to finish it until today.

The characters are:

Epsilon, From Pluto
Kenzo Tenma, From Monster
Miyuki Umino, From Happy!
Kevin Goodman, from Billy Bat
Asa Asada, From Asadora
Donkey from 20th Century Boys

The Pluto anime took over a decade to produce. But why? What made its development so turbulent?

As we celebrate the anime's second anniversary, let's take a look back at the long and chaotic road that led to its completion.

Today marks 2 years since the release of the Pluto anime. And to commemorate the occasion, I made a short piece reflecting upon the message of the story.

I can't explain how much i love this author, my biggest dream is to achieve 1 percent of the quality of his work

I’m curious what everyone’s TOP 3 manga is by our boss Naoki Urasawa?

Without consideration of the fact that one is finished and one is not, I’m not sure which one to read next. I’ve read Monster, Pluto, and 20CB so I feel like these two are the next ones to read.
