The classic Astor Boy, and I had never read it! Better than I thought it would be, as I expected something silly, but it was very entertaining. Fast read, as much manga is, but this in a sense started it off for the west's intro to manga, as these were done in the mid-sixties…Fun stuff, manga for boys… amazing that he started here then also did Buddha, and the Adolph stories for adult readers… such a range!

Truthfully, and very surprisingly, I really enjoyed it. The artwork threw me off at first. The large eyes and over-dramatic expressions made this look like it came out of the Sunday Funnies. But behind the wacky action and cutsey look of everything, Astro Boy holds a strange sense of dark peril.

Terribly unfortunate, and even violent, things happen to characters who do nothing but good, and just when you think things couldn't get any worse, they do. A lot of the characters aren't very impressive but I found I somewhat cared about where they would end up in the story.
The focus characters are the pinpoint of this book and I'm not talking about Astro. One of the stories tell us of a helpless android called He's forced to do things he doesn't know if he should be doing and begins to question his feelings on the matter, even though there's nothing he can visibly do about it. When you think you know the guy, he does a and surprises you senseless. Every interaction with him is an emotional roller coaster ride. One moment he's a heartless android doing his duty, the next he's the saddest person in the world, then the angriest, then a maniacal villain, then a poor soul who you just want to hug and tell him everything will be alright, and then push him away for being spooky!
And that's just a taste.
Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy follows the story of a young robot who was created by a brilliant scientist in the image of the son he has lost. Story time just got better with Prime Book Box, a subscription that delivers editorially hand-picked children's books every 1, 2, or 3 months — at 40% off List Price.
Astro himself is a pretty good character. Heroic, honest, and willing to throw himself in any sort of danger, even if it means perishing in the process. All of these things are a common trait in the hero factor, but what makes this infinitely more interesting is the fact that astro is a child. To see a child even a robot one do the things Astro does because he's the only one who can is kind of mind-blowing.
Astro takes on insane responsibilities, not just because he's the only one who can do it, but because he likes helping those who can't help themselves. You could argue that he's just a robot doing his job, but Dr. Tenma made Astro for one reason, to replicate his son. Although it isn't stressed hardly at all in the manga, when Astro isn't out saving the world he's doing normal things a kid would: playing with friends and having fun. It isn't the best work I've seen in Tezuka, but it's highly enjoyable and worth reading more than once.

The art has a very good finish and the best pages are the ones that portray space and spaceships. Japanese comics never seizes to amaze me. Jul 16, Cara Byrne added it. Nov 29, Peter rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novels. If I was a ten year old boy then this book would get five stars. I love some of the whacky story ideas - Astro boy shoots guns from his butt — and character names and I love the intro's by Osamu Tezuka in his studio, I guess a bit like those Disney TV intro's of old.

It's sad really, the fact that such a great comic cant seem to get a good and faithful adaption of itself on the big screen Bar none. Jan 04, Micah Nyon Cat rated it liked it.

The entire series includes short added prologues by creator Osamu Tezuka, featuring a fictional version of the creator talking to the audience giving context, commentary and behind the scenes information about some of the stories.

This volume includes a three page written introduction by the translator giving some explanation and background to this set of volumes that is not found in other volumes. The volumes reproduce whole stories which might be across multiple issues of a comic magazine in original form , but the stories are presented in no particular chronological order this is true of all volumes in this Dark Horse collection series. The first story is a retelling of the origin of Astroboy for that collection apparently the actual first comic story from is contained in volume 15 assuming that the translation kept to the same format as the Japanese collection.
The second story and the bulk of this volume is the story of the Hot Dog Corps from It is a fun and sometimes touching if simple silly story involving dog cyborgs and the Moon. Technically it follows up an earlier story about the Moon, that is in volume 4 of this series demonstrating the odd chronology of this collection series. This has one of the short prologues from with Tezuka's thoughts on animal cruelty. The last story is "plant people" a very short tale From New Year's about aliens who come to take our water with a poignant twist ending.
Again motivations and so on of characters are very simple, but surprisingly effective. This story includes a one page prologue with Tezuka's thoughts on plant consciousness and a quick trivia quiz. May 25, Gerardo rated it really liked it. Osamu Tezuka's novel, "Astro Boy" is one of the best manga's I have ever read with its multiple stories in just one book. The auth Osamu Tezuka's novel, "Astro Boy" is one of the best manga's I have ever read with its multiple stories in just one book.
The themes of "Astro Boy" that the author emphasis is the courage in Astro to save the world from crime without using violence at all,like Astro is Superman,justifies to save the society. Another them i notice Tezuka uses is individuals and society, how there's a world where robots and humans live together where robots were created as like how humans acted. Overall in my opinion this book satisfied me when reading it.
Astro Boy The Movie: A Novel
It's unique yet simple art style that Osamu Tezuka uses is magnificent. At one point you're reading a conflict part and the background turns black and the characters are in a shaded grey color then when resolved or done it goes back to its normal black and white comic art style. To me, it seems that "Astro Boy" gives me a mickey mouse back in the 's vibe and a superman vibe with saving the world. Lastly I like on how this book comes with many chapters all being different stories having different plots,climax's and endings. To conclude I highly recommend this manga,especially If its your first time reading one you will not be disappointed.
May 16, Andrew Mills rated it it was amazing. I don't consider myself a manga fan, so I was genuinely surprised how much I enjoyed reading this book. It doesn't hurt that Tezuka incorporates many of the SF ideas robots, cyborgs, etc. I enjoyed reading about growing up, either. Nov 23, Keith Hendricks rated it it was amazing. One of the most poignant of origin stories: the scientist Temna creates a prosthetic son to take the form of his phantom pain, the loss of his own son, Tobio.
