Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka, Vol. 4

In a world where robots coexist with humans, a chilling mystery unfolds as two prominent figures—a passionate advocate for robot rights and a distinguished European robot—are found murdered. Amidst rising tensions surrounding robotic existence, Gesicht, a skilled detective and a robot himself, takes it upon himself to unravel the dark enigma that threatens to disrupt the fragile balance between humans and their mechanical counterparts.

As Gesicht dives deeper into the investigation, he encounters a web of intrigue, filled with hidden agendas and past grievances. Each clue he uncovers peels back layers of complexity, revealing the struggles and aspirations of both humans and robots within society. This investigation challenges his own beliefs as he navigates the moral dilemmas faced in a future where the lines between creator and creation blur.

Set against a backdrop that seamlessly blends suspense with philosophical questioning, the narrative explores what it truly means to be alive, while simultaneously addressing the sociopolitical implications of artificial intelligence. As tensions escalate and the danger intensifies, Gesicht must confront not just the murderer, but also the very essence of his identity.

With beautifully crafted imagery and characters that resonate on multiple levels, this volume pushes the boundaries of genre, inviting readers to ponder the ethical considerations of technology. As the story unfolds, the stakes heighten, compelling the reader to engage with the themes of justice, existence, and the quest for understanding in a rapidly evolving world.
