I've been a big fan of Naoki Urasawa's work for quite some time, and while Urasawa didn't write Master Keaton, I was interested in seeing how his art helped carry across the story of the manga.

In short, Urasawa's work meshes with the story of the manga incredibly well - giving the narrative and the action the pacing it really needs, and doing a great job of showing instead of telling. That said, there are a few chunks of the story where it's clear that the writers decided to tell instead of showing, where things can consequently undermine Urasawa's art a little.

Still, fans of Urasawa should definitely give this manga a look. You'll definitely enjoy it.
