Who is the mysterious “Friend” and how does he tie into Kenji’s youth.



Why are there disappearances and deaths tied into Ochanomizu University. Their memories hold the keys to the puzzle, but time and age have clouded their minds. The strange occurrences and the reach of the “Friend” conspiracy grow by the day. It will all culminate on New Year’s Eve 2000. Will Kenji and the others be able to put together the puzzle and save the world.



I think I need a new pair of underwear, I have been a fan of the 20th Century Boys Manga for ages. And now Yukihiko Tsutsumi is adapting this acclaimed manga into a live action movie. About a man who realizes that a deadly cult is threatening the world. And that the person behind this cult has ties to his past. Judging from the website and the trailer they are putting a lot of work into this, and I for one cannot wait to see this.
