A deluxe bind-up edition of Naoki Urasawa's award-winning epic of
doomsday cults, giant robots and a group of friends trying to save the
world from destruction!
Humanity, having faced extinction at the end of the 20th century, would
not have entered the new millennium if it weren't for them. In 1969,
during their youth, they created a symbol. In 1997, as the coming
disaster slowly starts to unfold, that symbol returns. This is the story
of a group of boys who try to save the world.
In 2014, Tokyo is under the complete control of the mysterious ruler
known as the Friend. Kanna has chosen to step forward and confront the
Friend in order to carry out the last wishes of her uncle Kenji, who has
been missing since Bloody New Year's Eve. As Kanna gathers a group of
outcasts and misfits to face the Friend, her high school classmate
Koizumi faces true horror in the brainwashing camp known as Friend Land.
It is there that she sees something that no one was ever meant to see:
the true identity of the Friend. Who will survive in this world where it
is nearly impossible to distinguish friend from foe?
