Pluto (v 1), by Naoki Urasawa (inspired by Osamu Tezuka), 192 pages
First of all, let me say that I totally thought this book was a work of Tezuka that I had just never heard about-- and I was slightly disappointed when I realized that it is, in fact, inspired by Tezuka's Astro Boy series. But that's ok- it's still a fascinating read. This world is full of robots- some more human-like than others, but all are integrated into human society. When indestructible robots are found destroyed, it takes a robot detective with a secret past to save the world's other robots. This had a very Philip K Dick-ensian feel to it.
