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.
There once was a kid who imagined the end of the world. It was all a child's game—but not anymore! The Friend is carrying out his plan to exterminate humanity—just as predicted. And the man who survived Bloody New Year's Eve is on his way back to Tokyo. The boys are coming back together one by one as they race toward the final battle.

As if I am reading a spinoff..
First half of the series was good. After volume 7 the series started to decline and became something else. The shift from a mystery/thriller story to an adventure one was a miss. Nothing was happening. It was filled with unnecessary information. It could've helped If the most of pages were wordless, then the story would've moved faster and maybe become more mysterious.
There's no connection between the begining and the end. The last volumes felt as if I am reading a spinoff.. a bad one.
