Naoki Urasawa's Monster, Volume 1: Herr Dr. Tenma by Naoki Urasawa

5.0

Amazing first volume. Starts off fairly innocuously but almost right off the bat, there's an edge of menace to the story. How things develop to the climax are exciting and unexpected. Great art, Urasawa is a master of facial expression. While the book is not gory, it's certainly heavy and dark. I appreciate the consistent tone in this book, though I'm a bit daunted by the length of the series.
