Kenji is a rock musician whose dreams of superstardom have long since faded away as he's settled into a mundane, lower-middle class reality. When one of his childhood friends commits suicide under mysterious circumstances, Kenji finds that his memories from his past come rushing back. Could this new death be related to the rise of a bizarre new cult that's been implicated in several other murders and disappearances? And could it have something to do with something that happened long ago with his childhood friends? Determined to dig deeper, Kenji reunites with some of his old buddies in the hope of learning the truth behind it all.
As they seek out the answers, Kenji and his friends discover that something that they did created together back in 1969 was the seed for an incredible conspiracy that now threatens to take the lives of millions.
A best-selling and award-winning series in Japan, 20th Century Boys has also been adapted into a live-action, big-budget film trilogy.
