As the conflict between Kenji Endo, his childhood friends, and cult leader "Friend" comes to an end, two mysteries remain—Friend's true identity and whether the threat of an "anti-photon bomb" before his death was legitimate. Hoping to find an answer, Kenji, alongside the United Nations, decides to use a virtual reality program created from Friend's childhood memories in this conclusion to a long journey that will span dozens of decades.
Story: 21st Century Boys is the continuation of 20th Century Boys, a beastly manga. In this continuation, many unsolved mysteries of the previous manga will be revealed to us after its hasty ending, while another "small" problem is posed that would be solved in these volumes. This continuation is short, 16 chapters that are 2 volumes, but it concludes very well with the previous work, solving all the questions that were not concluded in the previous mangas and also solving the problem that arises in this one. Obviously we can't compare these stories, but the conclusion of this one is very good, and although I still have doubts about some points, for me the story is a 07/10 (in my review of 20th Century Boys I gave the story an 8 so this one is a little bit below or not even that, a 7.5 maybe)
The characters in this work are the same as the previous one so I am not going to analyze this point, and I am not going to review the drawing or the design since, although a few years have passed between the 20th Century Boys and the 21st Century Boys, Urusawa is still the same one who writes and draws and, although there is a little improvement, it is not too big to highlight it.
Entertainment: Manga that I read in 2 hours one morning, the morning of the day after I finished the first work. Despite its short duration, there are several moments that make you surprise, such as the end of Manjome or the revelation of who is really friends in the last panels of the manga, so I'm not going to put it a 10 like the original manga but those 2 hours of reading I entertained a lot, that's why it takes the 8/10.
As a final grade I would obviously have an 8 or so if we add the grades I have given
