21st Century Boys
21世紀少年
21 Seiki Shounen
21st Century Boys is the direct sequel to Naoki Urasawa's 20th Century Boys. It picks up right where the main series stops and keeps the same cast. This is not a place to start. Almost anything said about its plot would spoil the main series. In broad terms it goes back to the childhood of Kenji and his friends. It looks for answers to the questions still hanging over the cult leader known as Friend and over how it all began. The focus is on guilt, memory and small moments from the past that shaped everything. It suits fans who have finished 20th Century Boys and want the whole story.
