Naoki Urasawa's Monster, Volume 1 by Naoki Urasawa

If you like Death Note, you should definitely try this manga. There is no fantastical element here and it is just a crime fiction. But it has been done well. A doctor saves a young boy without realizing that he is a monster. The doctor sacrifices his career and girlfriend to save this boy who is a serial killer. Now the doctor gets framed for all the murders committed by this young boy. I loved the premise and how well the story was executed. This novel had strong female characters. The artwork was brilliant too. Definitely going to continue with this series.
