Hey, I really really don't want any spoilers but I would just want to know if this series is complete or not. I think that its 22 volumes, but now the author has started another series called 21st Century Boys..idk what's going on?

Steel told me a while ago that it was, so yes, I think so.

yeah it's over, 21st Century is like a two chapter epilogue or something.

21st seemed kind of like Urasawa going "oh shit, I can't end this properly in the one remaining chapter in this volume, I'll make the 'last chapter' like two volumes long!". Which actually turned out to work pretty well imo.

Also this is pretty much my favourite manga and I'm pretty glad to see that other people read/enjoy it because a lot of anime kids I know claim that it's "too boring didnt reade". Also, if you haven't checked it out, Pluto (same author) is actually pretty great as well, especially for an adaptation of someone else's work.
