Monster: The Perfect Edition, Vol. 2: The Perfect Edition

Keep the story moving, Tenma arrives to the orphanage where Johan grew, he meet Dieter, he is still looking for Johan. We see Nina also look for Johan. A group of neo-nazi want to make Johan their leader, preparing a fire, both Nina and Tenma get involved while looking for Johan, but Johan is above all those racial stupidities, leaves message for Nina and Tenma. Also a bit of look around the KBA agent and Tenma’s ex-girlfriend, wow she really is going down into a revenge obsession path. We start to see the past of Johan, and although we never do see him, the messages start to paint what really is going with him. Great story telling, and amazing art-drawings. Also the 3-in-1 edition is fabulous, looks really professional, collection style.

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!

The book came wrapped in plastic, without a single mark or scratch. A reoccurring problem I notice when buying books, specifically mangas, is that sometimes they'll have fingerprints or grease stains on the front cover (odd, i know). This book came in perfect shape, good book too.

Tenma is on the run. His asking questions about the various murders has tagged him as a suspect, and his Japanese identity in Germany makes him stand out. Johan is toying with him while Tenma tries to piece together what happened and where he was going, including investigating his childhood in an East German orphanage. It’s fascinating to see how quickly everything Tenma valued, everything that made up his self-identity, can be replaced when he becomes a lone vigilante. He wanders, meeting a child whose most desired wish is simply a soccer ball and a country doctor trying to do what he can for the village patients. He’s not the only one after Johan; a white-supremacist organization is also looking for him to be the next Hitler. Meanwhile, a police inspector who has sacrificed everything else in his life to solving murderers is on his trail, egged on by Tenma’s now-dissolute ex-fiancee. It’s rather like a 70s action show, with the big premise — Tenma hunts a murderer — allowing for smaller stories within the larger plot. (Review originally posted at ComicsWorthReading.com.)

This book like the first vol is not only a fine mangs it is also a great piece of art. It sucks you in every time you read it, it is very well done storywise and the artwork is beautifully crafted. The book itself is very good quality has a few colored pages and it is printed on thick paper. Looks great on a bookshelf! Dr. Temna's story is like one I've never read/seen before, set in Germany it is suspenseful, dark violent, and somehow charming and funny at times. Highly recommend this manga!

One of my favorite mangas of all time. I am so excited that now I have the full collection of Monster. This edition is great!

I love this manga

I just love it

I first tried Claymore, Death Note and Dragon Ball which I have watched so knew what to expect. I heard about this one being the best manga for many people so I was ineterested in taking the plunge and trying a manga I have never watched before. I was blown away, I am halfway through book 1 in just a few hours, its such an engrossing story and the premise in Europe is very refressing (Though many of the 'Europeans' seem to look the same in some scenes with big noses ha ha) I actually want to source the anime now but cant find it anywhere.

This series is fantastic, and absolutely deserves its reputation.

Real

Ottimo

Great quality for a paperback at a very reasonable price.
