Naoki Urasawa's unforgettable thriller follows a brilliant doctor's
journey into the darkest depths of the human soul.
Johan is a cold and calculating killer with a mysterious past, and
brilliant Dr. Kenzo Tenma is the only one who can stop him! Conspiracy
and serial murder open the door to a compelling, intricately woven plot
in this masterwork of suspense.
Everyone faces uncertainty at some point in their lives. Even a
brilliant surgeon like Kenzo Tenma is no exception. But there's no way
he could have known that his decision to stop chasing professional
success and instead concentrate on his oath to save peoples' lives would
result in the birth of an abomination. The questions of good and evil
now take on a terrifyingly real dimension.
Years later, in Germany during the tumultuous post-reunification period,
middle-aged childless couples are being killed one after another. The
serial killer's identity is known. The reasons why he kills are not. Dr.
Tenma sets out on a journey to find the killer's twin sister, who may
hold some clues to solving the enigma of the "Monster."
