Welcome to another installment of the drawer varieties. This time I want to talk about the best manga I've read in my short but intense life of otaku: Monster of Naoki Urasawa. I thank Carol to discover this work of art. Let's go slowly explaining the issue ... One day, Carol discovered the first volume of a new edition compilation of Monster . The series could be found in slim format with lots of numbers, but this year's shot almost quarterly consist only 9 numbers, at a price of 15 euros each. Thus fell the first. Also coincided with a time mucas had not read or things to be playing and I start reading right away, bitten by Carol comments encouraged me to do so. I expected a more classic cut sleeve, simple and fast. I did not know how wrong I was. With the first volume in hand, I began to delve into Monster to not get out of it until you finish the last few months ago. But ... What is the show?
Monster tells the story of Kenzo Tenma, a famous Japanese neurosurgeon working at the Eisler Memorial, a major hospital in Düsseldorf, Germany. Germany is in the 80's where he spent much of the history, Tenma starts when he disobeys the orders of the hospital's director of emergency operations to an influential politician to speak to a boy named Johan from a gunshot wound to the head because he had come before and all lives are equal. History is moving quickly to stand about 9 years later and just showing us a young Johan become a psychopath and a serial murderer who tormented Tenma tries to stop him and find out more about the true intentions of Johan. The chase takes us to multiple cities as Berlin, Munich or Prague. And here I will tell you not to reveal anything important.
Thanks
the teacher Urasawa, the manga manages to maintain a constant tension and mystery, due in part to the large number of characters who work in history. Very deep characters and above all very coherent with the environment that surrounds them.
Naoki Urasawa just changing the story, giving it more importance, with characters that are constantly evolving and with whom you feel really close. In addition, the trace in the drawing is excellent, completely away from the conventions of manga huge eyes and hair impossible to show a face full of personality that reinforce the character of these characters and get make them more credible. But the real strength is found in the narrative and the assembly of the frames / scenes, which maintains the tension and intrigue of a story that was in danger of being too long and becomes a constant "one more chapter and I will sleep comes. "
In short, a real masterpiece of manga, the best "graphic novel I've read and a total and absolute recommendation on my part.
