I'm currently reading/collecting Monster. It's fucking amazing.
Will I enjoy Pluto if I'm not too familiar with Astro Boy?
hell yeah, if you like Monster you'll probably like Pluto. One of my few complaints about Urasawa's stories is that they can be kind of meandering sometimes. But I think Pluto is by far the best paced of any of his works
And yeah, you don't need any knowledge of Astro Boy to enjoy it. It's fun to draw parallels between Pluto and the original story if you're familiar with it, but it's definitely enjoyable as a standalone story.
