| That symbol must be popular or it was a big coincidence that they kids and that "friend" came up with the same thing.. And Poor dragon fly.. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| The sign the kids came up with looks quite unsettling, it would certainly fit a cult. |
 |
| whoah! tubby twins o.o that symbol have powers maybe... |

| Confusing~ |
| Okay, if I am not mistaken their are atleast 3 time frames covered, the floating and the cousin bit is the future (which will probably be the present in the end) then of course you have the current present and the past. Anyways it might be good, didn't really get a feel for it either way this chapter. |

| I loved Monster and found someone who was selling their entire run of 20th Century Boys for pennies. SO here I go. A very promising first chapter with different timelines and a lot of mystery it seems. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
Hootja said: I have some interesting ideas about the Friend's appearance in this chapter. Don't click the spoiler unless you've pretty much read the entire manga. |
| Well definitely an interesting start so far with the characters and themes so far. Curious to see where this goes especially with that symbol. |
 |
| I really need to get on this, the mystery already seems so cool! Gotta finish pluto first though. |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| the story is jumping around so much. |
 |
| Okay start, I will continue reading this. Not too much happens in first chapter, but it was kinda interesting. ~ Evil twins are really evil, already hate them because they hurt that poor animal. 3/5 |
  |
| Ok first chapter, the time skips is kinda annoying tho |
| I don't mind the different timelines,kinda contributes to the mystery vibe. Interesting start. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| There're several timelines, interesting 1969 - the kids invent the symbol of true friendship 1973 - some girl is kidnapped, "20th century boy" is playing 1997 - Kenji finds the symbol on the property of a missing family ???? - some girl in pants witnesses a monster 21st century - UN meeting, the ones who saved humanity are introduced (I assume they are the protagonists in adulthood) Probably 21st century again - the mysterious "friend" is floating on what looks like a cult meeting |
| That friendship symbol, illuminati confirmed! |
 |
| wait, that was confusing... |
| “Life is a constant process of dying.” |
| that was a actually very intriguing start. Mystery is already taking a huge part. i kind of wonder if there's actual kind of magic in the story |
| an interesting start |
 |
| I was a bit confused at first |
I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion |
| The start's a bit confusing and there are a lot of characters, but I feel like I'm going to love this one. |
| Starting what I believe will be one of my top manga. Though it's painful, I will only read physicals... this is gonna take a long time hahaha I love it already! |
 |
| Coming from Monster (anime adaptation not the manga) my hopes are high. Though im not worried as ive heard amazing things about the author along with all of his other works. This was a nice first chapter, i personally really like the art style. Its nice and crisp. Running a convenience store with a baby on your back must be hard work. But atleast he has his mother there to help him. I wonder what happened to his sister and the reason she left her baby with them. An entire family going missing is crazt news, its kinda funny how Kenji reacted worried more about the payment. The flashback to the friend group when they were younger with there fort was nice and seeing the original creation of the symboy, that symbolizes a true friend being created was nice. Though its concerning that it was placed by that familys house who went missing. I wonder who this Friend fellow is? He seems like someong people should be cautious around. |
