20th Century Boys Watch Order & Chapters Guide

Kenji Endou is a convenience store manager with faded rock-and-roll dreams when a friend's suicide and a children's death cult with a familiar symbol bring back a memory from childhood—a summer when he and his friends made a 'Book of Prophecies,' describing the end of the world for fun. The symbol their cult is using is from that book. The prophecies are coming true. And 'Friend'—the masked, messianic figure at the cult's center—once knew them. 20th Century Boys is Naoki Urasawa's 249-chapter masterpiece, spanning multiple timelines across more than 30 years of story. It is a mystery, an apocalypse thriller, a coming-of-age story, and a meditation on memory. Conclusively one of the twenty greatest manga ever published.
