As Laboratory No. 1, now under Haido's control, showcases its latest marvel, the robot Mu emerges as a formidable contender during a robot wrestling tournament. After a dominant victory over U-ran, Mu's power and prowess are undeniable. Meanwhile, the team from Lab No. 7 shifts their focus from the recent competition to refining their own robot creation, setting the stage for future advancements.
This volume is a crucial installment for fans of the legendary Astro Boy series, providing deeper insights into the prequel’s development.

Perfect for readers who enjoyed Battle Angel Alita and Ghost in the Shell, this volume continues to blend intense robot combat with philosophical questions about the nature of being.
With a quirky, lovable cast and rich backstories that set the stage for the beloved sequel series, this manga is a must-read for fans and newcomers alike.
