About

Astro is a robotic boy created by Dr. Tenma to replace his late son. When Tenma destroys his laboratory and shuts down Astro, the Ministry of Science revives him and tries to give him a normal life as a 6th-grade student who occasionally helps keep renegade robots from causing harm.

A sense of melancholic wonder permeates this bright, neon-soaked reimagining of a classic robot orphan. Between schoolyard antics and sudden mechanical battles, the story balances childhood innocence against the heavy weight of being built from spare parts.
