10 posts | 9 read | 4 to read
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. "

This was an excellent suspense/thriller Manga. Featuring a young surgeon who makes a choice that changes his life tragically. I definitely look forward to continuing the series. 5⭐️

July was very close to June in numbers! Favourite read was tagged but I can‘t forget The Nickel Boys; Red, White & Royal Blue; and The Boy. So many good reads! Let‘s see what August brings!

My latest manga obsession!

Some doctors aim for fame, while others uphold their oath to save lives. When brilliant brain surgeon, Dr. Kenzo Tenma, makes the decision to put saving a life over the progression of his career, how is he supposed to know that he‘s really saving an abomination... a monster?

I don‘t know what I was expecting but it definitely wasn‘t this and it is so good! I am so invested in what happens next. If I had to categorize this I would say it‘s a slow burn psychological thriller manga. Most of the characters are likeable in one way or another and there‘s so many layers already being woven into this story I‘m excited to see where this goes.

Really good story with great art. I liked watching the evolution of Dr. Tenma's looks. Could not stop reading. It's not really a mystery since you know where it's all headed. Definitely psychological, but "thriller" feels like the wrong word. Simply "psychological. I had to order the next two volumes after finishing this one.

It's a bit of a shift from the episodic nature of Master Keaton, with a much more focused overarching plot and a more oppressive tone. A fantastic thriller that I can't wait to continue.

Decided to go with manga for my next #24in48 read. Might have pilfered it from my to-be-catalogued cart. Quality control 🤓
