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

5.0

---

One of the greatest manga series ever written. Urasawa is an incredibly talented storyteller as well as artist. I greatly admire the art of the story. His style is perfect for this thriller, as it really grounds it in different way from a lot of other manga. Dr. Tenma is a fantastic character with a very strong moral compass and his journey to right what he views as his personal mistake is very thrilling. Anyone who mistakenly thinks of graphic novels as a lesser medium of storytelling needs to read this series immediately.
