Do I need to read Astro Boy to understand this?

Topic, basically. I've heard this is great, but I've never seen or watched Astro Boy. Will I be confused?

Lots of replies here, huh?....
So far, no. Since I haven't! >.> Don't think I will, either, though I've put Astro Boy on my to-watch list, at the bottom. ^^
I'll put this here as well: "Complete" on Batoto means it is stopped in Japan. There are 8 volumes of Pluto. Could we get this coded in, so that the Batoto pages with "Complete" on them go: "Complete (X Volumes)"? or "Chapters" of course, for those scanners that don't put volume numbers.

Actually, "Complete" and "Ongoing" should refer to a titles scanlation status, and not it's publication status.

For all those thinking of thanking me for the scanlations, I only upload them, and I'm just a mod here. Please leave a message on the actual groups' pages that do all the hard work.

I've finished it without reading astroboy before. I still can understand the story well. So go ahead and read it

It's perfectly okay not to know much about Astro Boy. I actually forgot this arc even existed to begin with.
That being said, however, it is highly recommended to grab Astro Boy later. It is, after all, considered as one of the greatest manga series ever written.
