Brilliant doctor Kenzo Tenma risks his reputation and promising career to save the life of a critically wounded young boy instead of a politician’s. Nine years later, the child has grown into a serial killer...Can Kenzo stop him? Or will he make another fatal decision?
 
Conspiracies, serial murders, and a scathing depiction of the underbelly of hospital politics are all masterfully woven together in this compelling thriller. Naoki Urasawa's Monster is an 18-volume series that sold over 25 million copies in Japan, with each individual volume consistently ranked in the Top Ten sales chart for 2-3 weeks each.
 
The series went on to win several awards—3rd Osamu Tezuka Culture Awards' Manga Grand Prix, 1st Japan Media Arts Festival Manga Award of Excellence, 46th Shogakukan Manga Award—and inspired a 46 episode anime series and music and trade book spin-offs.
 
From Naoki Urasawa, creator of 20th Century Boys and Yawara, Monster is now available for the first time in English!
