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.

The sign the kids came up with looks quite unsettling, it would certainly fit a cult.

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.

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.

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

Interesting start.

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

There is a group of people who worship Satan. The group is called ILLUMINATE and their sign is same as the sign the little boys used at their hideout

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
