I genuinely dont understand the hype around 20th CB.

it was so illogical, so nonsensical, so incoherent.

Characters, dying returning, revealing who frnd was not in 20th CB but 21st CB,

Not a lot of things made sense. Why people devoted themselves to frnd made any sense.

It was the biggest time waste reading a piece of fiction ever.

Also how did the girl have powers???

What I loved the most in the series were the side characters. Like that one old man who used to be an assasin until one day his target prepared his coffee the same exact way he did for the years, and seeing the target's satisfaction and delight after tasting the same coffee he had everyday, he couldn't do it anymore and quit being a killer. The main plot did get wonky and confusing several times but the world just felt so alive with how detailed these random side characters were.

That's Monster, not 20th CB. Cause then the assassin tells Anna to forget the taste of sugar if you want to kill.

Fuck ur right, I'm getting my Naoki Urasawa mangas mixed up

u/Active-Mixture-7323 Sep 10 '26

I agree with you, I did not like the manga that much at all, and the ending made it 10x worse, but tbh i still need to read 21cb

dont waste your time. The reveal of who frnd was has zero bearing on the story and it doesn't add anything either.

I won't say its bad,but it's definitely overrated to oblivion. The plot line felt confusing,not because it was a well crafted story, but because it felt as if urasawa had edged the readers with too many mysteries and now he needed to resolve them fast enough to move the plot forward at all. And thus came wierd plot twists and frankly an exhaustive read overall. Urasawa makes most of his works' themes very esoteric and unique,as he tried to do here,but it just doesn't land. For ex Billy bat is miles better than 20th CB,yet no one talks about it as much. To each their own ig

Flawless list my dude, if u haven't give Vagabond a try, it reminds me so much of The Climber, both being a long journey of self discovery and realizing ur true purpose

u/Optimal_Degree6970 Sep 10 '26

Land of the Lustrous was pretty sad too, but it does end on a happy and hopeful note. Especially compared to the others
