He wants to know if because it's licensed, if a group has picked it up. Does ckmoney do projects? I know sometimes they distribute but I'm unsure of what they do.

I just got around reading this manga, and I say it's pretty good. So I decided that I necroed this topic. *casts 'raise dead'*

I think 'friend' is Donkey...Hattori's the guy behind the mask, but the 'real' 'friend' is Donkey. Reasoning? It's late and I'm tired.

Volume 18 has just been completed.
#Manga-Heaven or #lurk is your Friend.


Donkey as Friend? A bit far-fetched, but now that Hattori's [spoiler]dead[/spoiler] :P I suppose anything is possible.

Yeah, you do that. Monster is the shit, but 20th Century Boys is... er... shittier. Naoki Urasawa is the shit, period. I compare him to Miura when it comes to the pure awesome-ness of his stories.

Pergatory; I believe I got them off'f #lurk at first, latest releases are on #manga-heaven. Unless my memory decieves me.

20th Century Boys is very different from Monster- in fact, I haven't been able to decide what genre it belongs to yet. But yes, I think it is better. It's very different from any other manga I've read. Hell, it's quite different from any written work I've ever read, period.

I just found out who this new 'friend' is. RANDOM.

I used to think it was awesome, but now I'm having doubts. It seems to have gone down for a moment.

I just read (looked at the pretty pictures mostly) through 20thCB volume 20.

Damn! My faith in Urasawa is completely restored after the rather slow vol. 19.
