Monster: The Perfect Edition, Vol. 5

Iv watched the Anime version of Monster many years ago and was blown away by its addictive story, drama, action and suspence, one of the very rare manga stories with a rapid turn of events for a humble Japanese docoter. You won't regret purchasing this one, highly recommended for anyone! Those new to Japanese Manga world, and those wanting something more if a non fictional taste and closer to reality. Get all 9 Volumes!

This series is definitely worth checking out! 8.5/10

Gran edición de este gran manga. Recomendado

Another great installment in the Monster series

Thanks!

Tenma is hiding on top of a bookcase, rifle in hand, waiting for the moment when he can kill Johan, and end the life he never should have saved all those years ago. Dr. Reichwein has gone to see Herr Schuman, to warn him about Johan, fearful of what Tenma might do. But Schuman insists on going to the ceremony at the library anyway. Once they arrive, he tells Karl he has forgotten something and sends him home to retrieve it. Dr. Reichwein suddenly realizes where Tenma is and rushes out, but he can’t shake Dieter. And the persistent Detective Lunge, who still believes Tenma and Johan are the same person, heads to the library as well to talk to Herr Schuman. Nina is shocked to learn that Lotte knows Johan and realizes she is a dead ringer for him. And what is this book that scared Johan so? A Czech picture book about a monster with no name? Meanwhile Tenma has Johan in his sights. All he has to do is squeeze. So why can’t he? And who is this strange woman who has just set the library on fire? Tenma receives a message, brought to him in the park on behalf of Herr Schuman by his son Karl. He says the mother of the twins is alive and living in Prague. A journalist named Grimmer is seeking information on the East German Kinderheim. He runs into Tenma on a train, and they become traveling companions. But when the authorities stop the train, he reveals his knowledge of Tenma’s identity and tells him to run. Afterward, Grimmer finds the former director of Kinderheim and learns, to his horror, that he has a number of young boys in his home. What is he doing, recreating experiments of the past? Can Grimmer stop him? The more we know, the more I want to know, as these plots become more and more entwined. I didn’t think Tenma would be able to shoot Johan, and yet I feel he has to die somehow. I think Nina can do it. Unless of course, there is more to her than meets the eye. I’m not even sure of that anymore. Did Kinderheim create a monster, or was Johan always that? If he was, what about Nina? Grimmer’s alto ego is pretty amazing, I have to say. And Lunge is so delusional, I can’t wait to see his face when he learns the truth about Johan – that he is a real and horrible person who is not Tenma. Another great volume of Monster, can’t wait for the next one!

a gift

En sí, no tengo problema con la edición, la queja que si tengo es el hecho que no viene con un plástico que lo envuelva y que algunos (de los 9 tomos) vienen un poco maltratados del lomo por el mal manejo, que puede sea desde la tienda o durante el envío. La edición es excepcional, cada céntimo lo vale; hojas gruesas y blancas, buena tinta y un tamaño agradable para apreciar los dibujos. En cuanto al lenguaje se necesita saber suficiente ingles porque se combina mucho con nombres alemanes y tecnicismos de medicina. Lo recomiendo a fans de la serie o del autor, principalmente. Lo mismo para los otros 8 tomos.

Edição fantástica, com enorme qualidade e a melhor edição para esta manga fascinante. É difícil largar o livro até terminar.

I’m growing more and more attached to these characters, and the mysteries of Johan continue to draw me in.

An awesome manga, I absolutely love it. 4 more volumes to go.

10/10 manga, will always recommend this one, only minus points is the awful packaging which damages almost every single book I order, sad to see how books are handled with so little care
