	Comic Book Galaxy - Pushing Comix Forward Since 2000.
		Naoki Urasawa’s works are popular entertainment — they have more in common with grocery store paperback bestsellers than any sort of high-minded piece of “Art.” They are cliffhanger-driven potboilers (oh, the cliffhangers) involving largely one-dimensional characters engaged in semi-ludicrous, if not semi-incoherent plots.
		Urasawa’s early attempts at writing for an ensemble are occasionally exciting, as the book zig-zags into unexpected character introductions and disappearances, but the end result is that the lead characters all go missing for significant chunks of time without adequate cause.
		Urasawa’s work—problematic as it is, occasionally crap as it is—offers big sprawling epics with dozens of characters engaged in the fight of their damn lives, whether on a tennis court or in German torture chambers.

	Pluto, by Naoki Urasawa \| Tezuka in English
		Naoki Urasawa preserves this central question, but adds to it many subtler questions about the psychological and social tensions which would arise in a society as densely populated with robots as Astro's.
		Urasawa reminds us why Astro was the most moving and influential of the many hundreds of stories and characters created by the "God of Manga." I cannot overstate the quality of this work, nor its emotional impact.
		Naoki Urasawa is also the author of Monster, a suspense/drama manga with an animated adaptation.

	Anime on DVD
		Naoki Urasawa’s hit seinen manga originally was serialized in Shogakukan’s Big Comic Spirits, which has since spawned a 74-episode anime, spin-off novel, and now has a live-action adaptation in the works by New Line Cinema.
		Urasawa puts the reader on quite a rollercoaster with the introduction of Dr. Tenma, who goes from top surgeon, to nothing, to Chief of Surgery, and then to a man who has the biggest bomb possible dropped on him.
		Urasawa scripts quite a setup that neither overwhelms or feels rushed, achieving a nice balance with the necessary cliffhanger ending for a thriller type of story that left me gasping for more.

	Naoki Urasawa Talks about Relationship between Mangaka and Editors \| ComiPress
		Naoki Urasawa is talented enough to be able to draw two manga at the same time, one for a weekly magazine (20th Century Boys in Big Comic Spirits) and the other a bi-weekly magazine (Pluto in Big Comic Original).
		Urasawa said that his struggle continued with Master Keaton (serialized in Big Comic Original from 1994 to 2002).
		Urasawa expressed his wish to have the strengths of self-employment recognized in the manga world: "I want the man/woman to be productive." Manga artists should be able to choose their editors.

	#01 - Happy by Naoki Urasawa at Otaku Champloo (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Urasawa pushed these two female characters to the extreme in order to highlight the Miyuki’s goodness as well as Choko’s heartless cruelty.
		Perhaps you can also attribute it to Urasawa’s own artform, wherein he is able to bring life through the characters through the varied expressions of their faces.
		In a manga whose theme is ‘All or Nothing’, Urasawa wonderfully utilized his art and his perfect concoction of characters to bring to life a new tale about hope.

	Manga Reviewer » Naoki Urasawa - 浦沢直樹
		Many people didn’t even knew that Urasawa only was the artist for this title, many people consider it his best work in terms of plot, when he had almost nothing to do with the plot, since it was a story written by his partner in success; Hokusei Katsushika.
		None the less this is one of the most acclaimed works by Urasawa, basically because his artwork went through a very noticeable overhaul and became much more attractive for the reader and the popularity and originality of the story made him even more famous among eastern and western readers a like.
		Naoki Urasawa is one of the most dedicated mangaka you will ever hear about.

	coffeeandink: Urasawa, Naoki: Monster, V.1-9 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The first volume is a bit predictable; you can see Urasawa setting all his pins in the place, and the influence of caricature is apparent in more than one sense: everybody's done in bold.
		He'd be unbearable if Urasawa didn't humanize him with the right, the tender detail: he doesn't lecture, he just remembers that a hurt kid likes soccer, not basketball, or that a hired killer once wanted a cuckoo clock.
		Urasawa appears to be ruled by horror and sorrow rather than outrage, but he's similarly skilled at using popular forms to speak to deeper concerns.)

		A manga adaptation of The Ring and the fishy horror Gyo have been available for a long time, and Diabolo has a lot of gruesome situations, but when it comes to original manga that aims for your mind as violently as your heart, a few titles stand out.
		Naoki Urasawa's works have been licensed for a while now, but another mind-bending manga, Death Note, was picked up by VIZ just recently.
		Unlike Urasawa, who has characters that are essentially good, Obata has readers rooting for the bad guy, not only because he's good at what he does, but because they find themselves almost agreeing with his ideas.

		Either Naoki Urasawa is a doctor, or he spent some time around doctors, because all of the hospital jargon seems authentic.
		Urasawa's art is (and is not, at the same time) the typical japanese manga art.
		The story is interesting, intriguing and, even if you have the main elements of the story known from almost the beginning of volume 2, your "need" to go on and read the story, and to see how it develops until the end (and what will be the end) is great.

	REVIEW: 20th Century Boys by Naoki Urasawa at chrisarrant.com
		Urasawa develops a compelling story that uses multiple viewpoints to tell more than one side of the story.
		As the plot organically develops, new clues are filtered into the story that may (or may not) point to the person responsible for the crimes in the year 1999.
		By following the childhood friends over the course of their life, Urasawa captures the ups and downs of friends and their friendships, and also how friends can grow apart as well as come together in a time of need.

	AnimeSuki Forum - Urasawa Naoki
		In fact people speculate that one of the reasons why his works lately have always been dark and brooding is because of the fact that he wanted to get out of his reputation that he earned from the bright and happy Yawara.
		But Pluto pretty much follows through on the investigative stories that Urasawa did for Monster and 20CB, except this time it focuses greatly on AI and what I assume to be Tetsuwan Atom's world (Atom even shows up at the end of the latest chapter).
		I think Urasawa Naoki may indeed be a worthy successor to Osamu Tezuka as the next God of Manga...

		In vol.1, the main character appears to be Gesicht ("Face" in german), a police inspector, investigating on the murders of humans, seemingly killed by robots, and somehow related to the mysterious death of Mont-Blanc, the world's most beloved robot.
		Though it is still a bit soon to say it is a new masterpiece (only 3 volumes released so far, the latest one only a couple of weeks ago), there's nothing i could do but try to make you feel like giving it a look.
		Urasawa just took every elements he needed in Tezuka's story (ies) and cooked them at his own style.

		Urasawa does not have the most versatile character design ability, but he has a great mastery of comic expression and serious tension-building.
		Urasawa's various viewpoints to his characters and their minds are excellent even in all his series.
		It is obvious Urasawa was heavily influenced by: The Japanese cult poison gas attack on train; Tom Clancy and Ebola; Evangelion (talk about strange symbolism, giant robot and laser guns).

		I'm convinced that Naoki Urasawa knows of the BTK case, and has partly based Monster around it.
		The possibility exists, because Urasawa definitely does previous research...
		IIRC (as I said, I have to reread it), all those messages by Johan are pure bluff, I think he tried to get his sister back with them or sumthin (by showing her he's "not actually evil).
