Tokyo Tarareba Musume Season 2
(Manga)
add
A new addition to the Tokyo Tarareba Musume series, and a welcome one at that.

Overall, this manga is a solid choice for those looking for a short and sweet retelling of the movie. While it might not offer ... Oct 30, 2023
Let me just start by saying I've never given a review on mal before. With Pluto however being a manga reader awaiting news on the anime for years finally coming to fruition really made my day.
Pluto like most of Naoki Urasawa's works have a mystery that makes up the central theme of the plot. The mysteries in the Pluto didn't fail to have that "shock factor" that he's known for and furthermore the manga and anime are both quite compact having only 8 volumes and 8 episodes respectively. THE PLOT: Not surprisingly , it has quite a lot of generic sci-fi traits due to it ... |
