"20th Century Boys is a manga series created by Naoki Urasawa, the mastermind behind Monster, and it is widely considered to be his Magnum Opus. The plot of the manga spans several decades, from the 1960s to the 21st century, and involves a large cast of characters and several plot twists along the way.

It's the year 1997, and Kenji Endou's life is going to change forever. As a youth, Kenji harbored dreams of becoming a rock star; now, however, he's stuck working in his late father's convenience store (formerly liquor store). On top of that, his older sister has disappeared and has left Kenji to take care of her infant daughter.

One day, Kenji learns that a childhood friend of his, nicknamed Donkey, has committed suicide by jumping off a roof. Shortly after the wake, Kenji receives a belated letter from Donkey, including a drawing of a strange yet familiar symbol and the question "Do you remember this symbol?" along with a request to get together some time.

The letter convinces Kenji that Donkey's suicide was, in fact, a murder. In his efforts to unravel the mystery behind his old friend's death, Kenji learns of a man known only as Friend who is the founder of a very popular cult. A cult that uses the symbol shown in Donkey's letter, a symbol that was in fact used by Kenji and his friends back when they were kids.

During their childhood, Kenji and his friends played a game in which they imagined the world being destroyed by a group of villains. Now, Kenji must gather his friends again, in order to prevent Friend, the man who took their symbol, from turning their childhood fantasies into a horrible reality. The final 16 chapters were released under the name of 21st Century Boys.

Adapted into a live action film trilogy that is among the most expensive Japanese film projects in history. The films are very faithful to the manga, which has inevitably led to criticism that they're impossible to follow if you haven't read it, due to time constraints forcing some important characters into smaller roles."

bump!

thanks for the info anon. I'll have a look.

Yeah no problem...check it out. Its probably my favorite manga, I'm still reading it, and just found it not too long ago.

Dorohedoro is my next favorite, its incredible also. But the story depth/size is no where no the level of 20th century boys

The full 20th century boy movies are all on youtube....But its not as good as the books/manga. Its like 5-6 parts and each part is 2 hours or so

Where you at glp??! This is perfect reading for glp'ers, you wont be disappointed!!

Who here knows of or has read 20th century boys (or other manga)?

I'm kind of surprised...There should be more talk of it here on glp

Hmm did the author of 20th Century Boys create conspiracy cult in 20th century boys based on the Google ties 1970's real life cult called:

"Fellowship of Friends"???

Here's the recent thread on Google's ties to this cult:

Thread: Google ‘infiltrated by religious cult,’ ex-employee claims in lawsuit


Possible connection with 20th century boys cult called:

"FRIEND" and
"Friendship Democratic Party"

And the newly discovered Google ties cult called:

"Fellowship of Friends"

In case you hadn’t noticed, the hour is a bit late for the reading of lengthy fiction.

One’s time would be much better spent reading about potato culture and rainwater catchment, as well as the use of pectin and potassium iodide in removing radioactive particles from one’s body.

Well thanks for your concern

With all due respect, you dont know me or my situation. And a person has to have time, money, and health to do the things you listed.

I may waste less time than you. The biggest time killer is sitting on this site. Once I stopped spending countless wasted hours every day on this site, I had much more time and better mental health. Less anxiety and depression.

Are you posting this on every thread on this site?

20th Century Boys is a perfect GLP read...that is if a person can pry themselves away from their potato culture, pectin, and potassium iodide for a few minutes here and there for breaks.

Hai

20th Century Boys is a very great!
