Monster (Manga)	comment	In 1986, life was good for Dr. Kenzo Tenma. A Japanese immigrant working as a neurosurgeon in West Germany, he had the favor of the hospital director, a beautiful fiancÃ©e (the director's daughter), and a promising future. But one day, the guilt of primarily attending to the wealthy patients and leaving poorer people in need of his skills catches up to him. Ordered to save the Mayor of DÃ¼sseldorf, Tenma instead listens to his conscience and operates on Johan Liebert, a 10-year-old boy who was shot in the murder of his adoptive parents. As a result, the child lives, the mayor dies in the hands of less talented surgeons, and Tenma is demoted by his superiors and dumped by his fiancÃ©e. Even though his life is now in ruins, Tenma still believes that he did the right thing.Suddenly, the hospital directors who demoted Tenma die in mysterious circumstances, leaving a vacant position that only he can fill. Then Johan escapes from the hospital with his catatonic twin sister Anna. Although none of the deaths can be directly attributed to the good doctor, a certain Inspector Lunge is unconvinced of his innocence.Nine years later, Tenma is still working in the same hospital. One night, a criminal patient runs in terror, trying to escape a person he calls "the Monster." Tenma follows him to a parking garage, only to see him mercilessly shot. It's even worse when he sees who the killer is: the same boy he saved nine years ago. Now a young adult, Johan confesses that he was the one who killed Tenmaâ€™s superiors years ago as a way to thank the doctor, and departs.Horrified that he is responsible for the existence of such a monster, Tenma abandons his work and his life, devoting himself to finding Johan again and killing him for good. Following Johan's blood trail, however, becomes tricky and absorbing, and as Tenma's hunt becomes riddled with clues from the boy's childhood, finding the truth about Johan's past becomes as imperative as finding Johan himself. The quest is further complicated when Tenma is framed for Johan's crimes, and Lunge begins a chase of his own for the now fugitive doctor.The series, written and drawn by Naoki Urasawa, one of the most popular mangakas in the business, has received several major awards and substantial critical acclaim; it is painstakingly drawn and thoroughly researched, with an extensive cast and a complex, multi-layered story. The adaptation is almost identical to the original, differing only in several scenes that were cut and several that were added.The original manga was serialized in the Seinen magazine Big Comic Original from 1994 to 2001. After the manga ended, Urasawa wrote and illustrated the Light Novel Another Monster, a retelling of the events of the series as an in-universe True Crime novel.The manga also has a 74-episode anime adaptation, which aired from 2004 to 2005. The anime was a fan-favorite on Sci Fi Channel's Ani-Mondays block. Unfortunately, it is no longer available on Hulu or the Manga Entertainment app for Xbox 360 (dubbed) as Viz Media dropped the license. Fortunately the Australian company Siren Visual has licensed the anime for full release, dubbed and all in its respective country. In early 2022, the series was released on Netflix in the US, subbed.Not to be confused with the Oscar-winning film starring Charlize Theron even for a minute (although that one is also about a serial killer). Also not to be confused for the 1999 film or 1999 young adult novel.Guillermo Del Toro has been trying to get it adapted into a live-action series for some time. HBO has turned it down, so time will tell if it ever comes to fruition.

Monster (Manga) / int_115259c6	type	Taking Over the Town
Monster (Manga) / int_115259c6	comment	Taking Over the Town: A variation occurs in the finale; Johan plans to give himself the "perfect suicide" where he and some of his accomplices move to a rural town right before it gets isolated by seasonal bad weather, cut off communications with the outside world, provide guns to some of the civilians and then just watch them go crazy with paranoia and kill each other. He is stopped before casualties get too high, but there were still plenty of deaths from it. While this is a case of rather than trying to take control, the tactics he uses are quite normal for this trope, and in a way, he is taking over the town by infecting them with his own nihilism and hopelessness.

Monster (Manga) / int_116a648e	comment	Half-Identical Twins: Johan and Nina may be a man and a woman, but they have extremely similar faces, voices, and body types. Their mother even used to dress Johan up to resemble Anna while the children and she were in Prague. As young adults, Johan masquerades as Nina while he's in Prague, and when Nina gets there, she's confused by his female identity and how everyone seems to know "her." A major plot point is whether Anna (the twins' mother) dressed up Johan for his sake or for his sister's sake; Tenma ponders on the conclusion that she wanted to get rid of one of them, but who?

Monster (Manga) / int_4dd46feb	comment	Johan and Nina, despite being Polar Opposite Twins, have some key similarities. The most obvious similarities are that both of them have had their sense of identity disturbed at one point or another and have lost much of the childhood memories. Furthermore, while Johan is clearly the most dangerous twin, neither one of them is someone you should mess with. But what's most disturbing is that Nina exhibits a violent inner "monster" of her own when placed under hypnosis. This repressed dark side was created by the very same events that made Johan who he is. The only difference is that those events actually happened to Nina, whereas Johan simply convinced himself that everything happened to him.

Monster (Manga) / int_545d100b	comment	Played with a bit regarding Tenma and Johan. Inspector Lunge analyzes Johan's crimes from the perspective that Tenma is the killer and that "Johan" is simply an alternate personality who doesn't really exist. This may seem like a stretch, but his logic isn't as far-fetched as one would think. Lunge reasons that Tenma would have to have a calm, clinical mindset to perform his surgeries â€” and that is exactly what he reads from Johan's crime scenes. Complicating things is something both characters do have in common: their disconnect from others and society in general. Upon researching Tenma's background and concluding that he doesn't fit into Japanese society, Lunge simply reinforces his view that Tenma's detachment is what allows him to kill without a second thought. In reality, Tenma isn't as much like the real killer as Lunge thinks he is.

Monster (Manga) / int_5b0e992	type	Guilt Complex
Monster (Manga) / int_5b0e992	comment	Guilt Complex: Two-fold. From the start, Tenma utilizes unprecedented skill as a neurosurgeon nonchalantly; then, the wife of a construction worker - a man who had been brought into the hospital with a serious head injury - accuses him of consequentially killing her husband by operating on a patient who came to the hospital shortly after her husband instead of him (Tenma did so because of orders from his superiors). Tenma receives her words seriously. When he prepares to operate on his next patient, his boss orders him to operate on another patient of higher import than the initial one; Tenma refuses, taking the widow's words as his gospel, and operates on the first patient who - unknown to him - will kill everyone he can. Tenma saves his patient, his boss demotes him for his disobedience, and Tenma (accidentally) allows his psychopathic patient to overhear his complaints about the man who preferred that Tenma save someone else for greed's sake. So, his patient kills his boss. Nine years later, after Tenma receives a promotion because of his former boss's absence, he discovers the patient he saved is responsible for his boss's murder and many more. This double-stroke of guilt is the force that propels Tenma forward for the entire ensuing plot.

Monster (Manga) / int_71e8a5c5	comment	Trauma Conga Line: Tenma and Johan both went through this. Tenma's father wanted him to take over the family clinic at his brother's expense, which Tenma didn't want. He came across one of Dr. Heinemann's papers and seized the chance to come to Germany, which fractured his relationship with his family. Tenma ends up writing many of his boss's papers for him, while recieving no credit. He ends up in a relationship with Eva, who didn't treat him very well. Then he finds out his boss is corrupt and got one of his patients killed. His boss shows no remorse and cancels important research Tenma was working on so that he can write a speech for him. Then Johan comes along, and after a Sadistic Choice from hell over whom to save, Tenma's career gets wrecked seemingly beyond repair. To top it off, that paper that originally inspired him wasn't even written by the director. Johan is born from a eugenics experiment, with his father implied to have been killed soon after his birth. He and his sister grow up rather isolated, before Bonaparta makes his mother choose who to give up, with her reaction seriously messing him up. His mother is taken away as well, leaving him alone in the house with only Bonaparta's books for company. When his sister comes back and tells him what happened, Johan internalizes her experiences and thinks they happened to him. They run away together, with Johan killing anyone who tries to help them out of paranoia. They end up passing out from exhauston and starvation. Then Johan is separated from his sister again and sent to 511 Kinderheim. Aside from experiencing everything the others did there, he was drugged and feared that he would lose his memories of his sister. He ended up inducing everyone else into a riot to escape. He gets reunited with his sister, and they're sent to live with the Lieberts, only for Bonaparta to show up one night. Johan is convinced that he is there to harm them, and ends up shooting the Lieberts dead. When his sister discovers this, he asks her to shoot him. She does, and it's later implied that he may have turned out different had she not done so.

Said boss exploits his surgical skills for media publicity, plays political games that get one of Tenma's patients killed, and screws his career over for daring to defy him. Nine years later, Tenma still tells his patients about how proud he is to have saved Johan, crediting him for turning his life around. Too bad it's all about to come crashing down... Another example happens with Jan Suk, who admired a police officer who actually was corrupt.

The two most common places they go are Germany and the US.

Monster (Manga) / int_98f2361a	comment	Fairy Tale Motifs: The series is largely framed around a picture book with connections to Johan's past. Said book has a lot of connections to classic fairy tales. The author of said book sees himself in a "Beauty and the Beast" story, being an evil man who falls in love with a woman he kidnapped. Johan and Anna are a lot like "Hansel and Gretel", being a poor, abandoned brother and sister wandering alone after losing their parents. Like "Little Red Riding Hood", the twins find someone called Wolf along the way who pretends to be friendly, only to be hiding their own sinister desires. One of the chapters is titled, "A Prince on a White Horse", referring to how Nina thinks of Tenma as Prince Charming. She mistakenly thinks that he was the one sending the anonymous "romantic" emails to her, when in reality the sender of the emails is Johan. Another chapter is titled "Brother and Sister," which is a European fairy tale in which the sister takes care of the brother, who is turned into an animal."

Monster (Manga) / int_9c47b23b	type	Dirty Communists
Monster (Manga) / int_9c47b23b	comment	Dirty Communists: Played straight. The crimes of neither the East German nor Czechoslovak communist regimes are ever justified and the flashbacks depict them as dark and unfriendly, which pretty much corresponds with the common view of the communist period in Eastern Europe. In a way may have even been taken up a notch as the East German regime as portrayed in the story bears a hell lot of similarities to the Nazi one. This is largely Truth in Television, at least to some degree. The East German communist regime was notorious for its ideological devotion to the socialist cause (for instance most of the communist terrorist organizations in the world during the Cold War were funded by East Germany) and it did engage in various experiments tampering with human mind and body. In fact, evidence indicate that right before the fall of communism in Eastern Europe Premier Erich Honecker considered slaughtering the East German protesters, following the example set by the Chinese in Tiananmen Square. Fan analysis of the real-life analogues for the experiments/abuses depicted in the series, including some actually perpetrated under the Communist bloc, can be found here and here.

A third one by Lunge bringing a beer to Grimmer's grave as they promised each other in a heartfelt moment, and informing his fellow mourners that he was able to gain contact with his estranged daughter and grandson by email, even recognizing that they barely knew each other at all to begin with. Grimmer has great difficulty properly expressing emotion, always asking himself what is the appropriate response for this situation. But after watching one of his boys turning towards the dark side, he breaks down and cries, in genuine sorrow and worry.

So while men like The Joker are evil because they "just want to watch the world burn", Johan is so far beyond giving a damn for even that.

While there's someone really nasty trying to kill him. Surprise surprise, this patient is promptly found and horribly killed. Not to mention Tenma and Johan are having an extended conversation for about five minutes, while the patient just sits there the whole time waiting to be gunned down. Granted, running might not have done him much good, but anything's better than just sitting there. Richard Braun decides it's a good idea to go out drinking with his lead suspect (who introduced himself by name) without telling anyone. He follows this up by following said suspect up to an abandoned rooftop in the middle of the night, while shouting, "I know what you're up to, kid!" Needless to say, it ends badly. In the last chapters, Tenma tells a lady to stay where she is, a safe place during a shooting, but she abandons that area and gets shot.

Monster (Manga) / int_ba5bbda5	type	Mirror Character
Monster (Manga) / int_ba5bbda5	comment	Mirror Character: Played with a bit regarding Tenma and Johan. Inspector Lunge analyzes Johan's crimes from the perspective that Tenma is the killer and that "Johan" is simply an alternate personality who doesn't really exist. This may seem like a stretch, but his logic isn't as far-fetched as one would think. Lunge reasons that Tenma would have to have a calm, clinical mindset to perform his surgeries â€” and that is exactly what he reads from Johan's crime scenes. Complicating things is something both characters do have in common: their disconnect from others and society in general. Upon researching Tenma's background and concluding that he doesn't fit into Japanese society, Lunge simply reinforces his view that Tenma's detachment is what allows him to kill without a second thought. In reality, Tenma isn't as much like the real killer as Lunge thinks he is. Johan and Nina, despite being Polar Opposite Twins, have some key similarities. The most obvious similarities are that both of them have had their sense of identity disturbed at one point or another and have lost much of the childhood memories. Furthermore, while Johan is clearly the most dangerous twin, neither one of them is someone you should mess with. But what's most disturbing is that Nina exhibits a violent inner "monster" of her own when placed under hypnosis. This repressed dark side was created by the very same events that made Johan who he is. The only difference is that those events actually happened to Nina, whereas Johan simply convinced himself that everything happened to him.

Monster (Manga) / int_babc974	comment	Johan is born from a eugenics experiment, with his father implied to have been killed soon after his birth. He and his sister grow up rather isolated, before Bonaparta makes his mother choose who to give up, with her reaction seriously messing him up. His mother is taken away as well, leaving him alone in the house with only Bonaparta's books for company. When his sister comes back and tells him what happened, Johan internalizes her experiences and thinks they happened to him. They run away together, with Johan killing anyone who tries to help them out of paranoia. They end up passing out from exhauston and starvation. Then Johan is separated from his sister again and sent to 511 Kinderheim. Aside from experiencing everything the others did there, he was drugged and feared that he would lose his memories of his sister. He ended up inducing everyone else into a riot to escape. He gets reunited with his sister, and they're sent to live with the Lieberts, only for Bonaparta to show up one night. Johan is convinced that he is there to harm them, and ends up shooting the Lieberts dead. When his sister discovers this, he asks her to shoot him. She does, and it's later implied that he may have turned out different had she not done so.

Monster (Manga) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The central premise, a doctor wrongly accused of murder chasing after the real killer while being pursued himself by a lawman, is modeled on The Fugitive TV series. By extension, there's also influence from The Incredible Hulk (1977) (combined with a dash of German Nick Knatterton aesthetics) via the in-universe show "The Magnificent Steiner" (about a man with a super-strong alternate self which influenced Grimmmer's dual personality). Dr. Tenma shares his surname and profession with the creator of Astro Boy. Mr. Rosso mentions that one of his favorite films is Summertime from 1955. The professor in Nina's introductory scene is a shout out to John Houseman's character in The Great Paper Chase. The backstory of the escape artist who helps Tenma features a shoutout to The Shawshank Redemption. Johan's character also had similarity with another Johan who was involved with Nazi. Grimmer and Suk get data of tests conducted at 511 Kinderheim and a tape of an interview with Johan from a safe box numbered 2501. Grimmer mentions buying a Gundam toy for his son while visiting Japan. The twins' mother Anna being forced to give up one of her children to Bonaparta's experiment at the Red Rose Mansion is very clearly modeled on Sophie's Choice.

Monster (Manga) / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: A few characters are based on members of Osamu Tezuka's "Star System". The most obvious is Dr. Reichwein, who is a clear homage to beloved Tezuka character Shansaku Ban, right down to his trademark moustache. Johan also has too many similarities to Yuki Michio from Tezuka's suspense-thriller MW to be coincidence. Dr. Tenma shares his name with Astro Boy's creator, although he's actually closer to Black Jack. Urasawa would later go on to create Pluto, a remake of a story arc from the Astro Boy series. The three main characters resemble the trio from Halloween. Tenma is Loomis (a doctor with a history with a young killer who takes it upon himself to hunt and stop said killer), Johan is Michael (an emotionally dead, ambiguously supernatural killer obsessed with his sister), and Nina is Laurie (said killer's sister who's goodhearted and becomes an ally of the doctor).
