Naoki Urasawa's Monster, Volume 2

Encore un super tome. La quête de Tenma suit son cours.
On s'attache à presque chaque personnage que Tenma rencontre même des secondaires, c'est vraiment sympa. De nouveaux persos le rejoignent dans sa quête (pas toujours volontairement ^^).
J'ai toujours des frissons d'angoisse sur certains passages, notamment sur l'orphelinat. On en apprend un peu plus sur Johann mais l'atmosphère autour de ce personnage reste pensante et angoissante.

The second installment in the series. This one was a lot more fast paced and easy to read, and I think it's because I was already familiar with the universe and story. I also found this volume a lot more episodic, it could really easily be translated to a visual medium. Regarding the plot, I'm not really a fan of the plot twist with Johan having multiple personality disorder. It feels very predictable and cheap. It's a weak excuse to explain why he is a serial killer. I'm very curious on how the plot is going to unfold.

I can't believe that these books are so AMAZING! It thrills me totally and I just cannot imagine what is going to happen until the last volume of the series. I love Dr Tenma because he always tries to do his best to save lives and also to find out were the twins are. Monster also has memorable dialogues just like the last one of this volume. Totally in love with it :)

Increíble esta serie de manga. Me he sentado esta tarde a leerlo y he acabado a la una y media de la madrugada de leerlo, pero es que ¡no podía dejarlo a medias sin saber qué iba a pasar con los personajes! Me encanta como el Dr Tenma sigue sus ideales, tanto de proteger las vidas de los demás como de conocer el paradero de los hermanos. Me encantan los personajes que se va encontrando por el camino y algunos de sus diálogos son memorables, como el que cierra este segundo volumen. Posiblemente uno de los manga más interesantes que haya leído nunca y un gran misterio por resolver.
