Pluto is based on Osamu Tezuka’s Tetsuwan Atom (Astro Boy) series, taking its title from a villain in one of its story arcs.
At the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, which opened on Monday in France, anime production company Genco has revealed plans for an adaptation of Naoki Urasawa’s award-winning science fiction manga Pluto.
It was serialized in Big Comic Original between 2003 and 2009 and has been published in eight compiled volumes.
