Reviews

[Alfredo Amatriain · Rating 3 out of 5]

It has some very good parts but Monster doesn't have enough story to fill so many pages. It feels stretched to the point of insanity at times. It would have been a good comic if it had been 1/4 of its length or even less, but with its actual page count it feels full of filler content. As a whole, quite disappointing.

It also has other problems, even if they are not as big as it being too long. Characterization is often cartoonish and feels out of place in a noirish story with horror overtones. And the ending is really, really weak. Urasawa seems to have a problem with endings in general.

I give it 3 stars because of the good parts, but as a whole this is not a comic I would recommend.

[Maxim Skubenko · Rating 5 out of 5]

Manga which is not a manga, but a perfect story. A young, brilliant neurosurgeon spits on the politicized rules of the hospital and saves the usual boy, instead of a high-ranking official... so the monster is born and the main thing not to forget - this monster can be in each of us

A wonderful psychological drama in which the detective and the unexpected turns are secondary.

[Ahsan Abdullah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, just wow. The reason I read this manga here was because I heard many of my friends comparing the antagonist of Monster, Johan to many fictional legends. People were seriously comparing an anime character to the likes of Gatsby, or Romeo. But after reading this absolute masterpiece, I can totally see the appeal. I was hooked from the first page until the last, and I finished reading in about 2 days. Johan's ideologies, philosophy, ambiguity, and evil was just so captivating. But it just kept getting better, as his backstory became more clear and he didn't seem the cold blooded monster that I assumed he was. And the ending wow, just wow. So many questions answered, so many new ones asked. Besides the amazing plot and villain, the likes of Tenma, Grimmer, Eva, Lunge, Anna, and Roberto were also beautifully written. Surely worth the read, once again wow, just wow.

This over 4,000 page behemoth took up a lot of time to get through but damn was it worth it.

Like Fincher and Lynch maade a sprawling mystery set in post-war Berlin, this had it all. Almost impossible to put down and totally worth the journey, Monster was one of my favorite reads in a while.

[Giorgia Fois · Rating 5 out of 5]

È il terzo manga di Urasawa che leggo dopo Pluto e 20th century boys, e devo dire che è anche quello che mi ha scatenato i sentimenti più forti. La storia è un thriller psicologico ben scritto, con dei tempi di narrazione che ti tengono sempre sulle spine.
La storia narra del dottor Tenma che spinto dalla sua moralità sceglie di salvare la vita non al sindaco della città, come ordinatogli ma al piccolo Johan, superstite con la sorella gemella di un omicidio che vede vittime i loro genitori adottivi. Sarà la scelta che gli cambierà per sempre la vita portandoci con lui in un viaggio alla scoperta dei sentimenti più oscuri dell'animo umano.
I due protagonisti della storia sono decisamente Tenma e Johan, due facce della stessa medaglia, entrambi tediati da un dubbio atroce, le vite hanno tutte lo stesso valore? Il manga si conclude così come si è aperto ponendoci questa domanda, con un finale aperto che porta il lettore a interrogarsi sulla propria moralità.

Devo dire che ho amato ogni cosa di questa storia, mi ha fatto affezionare, piangere e venire un'ansia terribile. Anche i personaggi più piccoli si ricollegano al filone principale e ci mostrano una realtà che è solo loro, anche un personaggio come il Bambino è mostrato nella sua fragilità oltre che nella sua follia, e penso che questo sia uno dei tanti pregi di Urasawa.
Certo non è un manga perfetto, alcuni punti rimangono ciechi e senza una spiegazione approfondita, le scelte di Johan rimangono spesso ad interpretazione del lettore, ma alla fine ci è chiaro che anche quello che ci pare il mostro peggiore abbia delle fragilità.
*PICCOLO SPOILER* Per tutto il tempo mi sono detta che il mostro del titolo fosse ovviamente Johan ma in fin dei conti penso non ci sia una risposta. Dal punto di vista di Tenma probabilmente il mostro era se stesso per aver permesso a Johan di compiere altre stragi, per Johan era probabilmente sua madre che ha scelto di sacrificare un figlio piuttosto che un altro, per la madre dei gemelli il mostro era Bonaparta e chi l'aveva separata dai suoi amati per sempre, per altri il mostro potrebbe essere l'intera società spezzata a metà dalle ideologie politiche ed economiche del '900, penso a come ci vengono mostrati gli ultimi, tra minoranze e prostitute, chiaro esempio di come il bene e il male cambino significato a seconda della prospettiva che Urasawa ci mostra (ad esempio il padre alcolizzato del bambino che lavora nell'hotel di Bonaparta). *FINE SPOILER*
Altra argomento che ho veramente amato è l'importanza della memoria. La memoria persa, quella ritrovata, la memoria che ci rende umani, la memoria che ci dà un'identità, che ci dice chi siamo, ma anche l'importanza dell'avere un nome. Tutte queste cose che ci rendono umani ancor prima dei sentimenti.
E con questo ho concluso il mio sproloquio, grazie Urasawa per aver ancora una volta raccontato gli uomini in maniera tanto profonda

Eu sempre me sinto ROUBANDO dando nota pra mangás/HQs aqui porque 4mil páginas lidas em algumas semanas -- mas esse eu li realmente no lugar de um livro, então vou me permitir; também li tudo de uma vez e a completude faz parecer um pouco mais justo.

O Urasawa tem um estilo meio vencedor: primeiro é meio impressionante o talento dele pra fisionomias, muita variedade de rosto, é bem raro isso. Segundo, ele tem esse jeito novelesco de estruturar os capítulos que é ir terminando em gancho depois de gancho (o que eu li de literatura do tipo, compararia a uma parada meio Dan Brown), e a gente vai de misteriozinho pra mesteriozinho e ele vai jogando pra frente as respostas -- nisso é fácil de só ir lendo, MAS é uma pilantragem também (a comparação com Dan Brown era pra ser negativa), é um estilo até meio deselegante porque vai criando uma história fugidia. Terceiro: o que aí sim ele faz bem é drama. E ele usa esse drama também pra empurrar as soluções do mistério pra frente, mas nesse caso é bom: a narrativa quebra pra introduzir um personagem novo, que tem uns dois ou três capítulos de desenvolvimento até estes cruzarem com a trama principal, e isso enriquece demais a história, não só emocionalmente, mas tematicamente. E, quarto, a força temática é bem interessante aqui: é um mangá que tá preocupado com as consequências de uma Alemanha pós-queda do muro de Berlim, os resquícios de um país partido e com a história marcada pela violência e o trauma desse passado monstruoso. Os personagens são todos, direta ou indiretamente, vítimas de uma guerra à procura de seu lugar no mundo. É um tema meio inesperado prum mangá (eu acho até meio tosco, rs, como os personagens na Alemanha se chamam com uns honoríficos japoneses, totalmente sem noção isso, mas acho que é burrice da tradução principalmente). E essa confluência de personagens com o passado fragmentado vai ganhando uma ressonância emocional muito forte. Ainda, claro, há um outro tema sobre a ética na medicina, que é mais o arco moral do Tenma, que é o 'protagonista', que também acaba sendo muito interessante enquanto drama pessoal, especialmente pela construção desse conflito (que é a sinopse do mangá). Vários outros personagens são ótimos (sou particularmente parcial ao Grimmer), então é principalmente uma boa leitura, com alguns pontos bem altos. Eu acho que o Urasawa sempre fica devendo um momento de exposição pra dar aquela amarrada final, mas é uma reclamação meio boba; tem toda uma justiça poética em várias coisas que acabam acontecendo que dão satisfação o bastante. Enfim, eu esbocei ver o anime há tipo uma década atrás, é bom saber que a história é boa mesmo.

Overall series rating: 4.5/5 (9/10)

This serves as a stand-in for the entire series for my review of the series as well as its placement on my 2021 rankings shelf.

This is a classic case of a book/series that I heavily considered bumping up to 5/5 (probably 9.5/10), but can't *quite* bring myself to do it. With such a long, complex series that has SO MANY characters, it's hard for me to keep all these interwoven plots straight in my head throughout the entire thing. So I feel like there are some details I've missed or plot threads that were probably resolved but haven't fully connected in my brain. It may take a reread or the completion of the anime to get all of that sorted out. Because of that, I feel like I can't give it 5/5 because it still feels like things aren't *quite* resolved in my brain yet.

To me, the one complaint I have about the series is about all of those characters and plot threads. I think it's really clever how threads are introduced without understanding how they'll eventually connect up. But there were some threads that felt like unnecessary tangents, and I feel like the actual art itself got in its own way sometimes. I had trouble telling any of the children in this series apart, and there were sometimes characters whose features were similar enough that I struggled to distinguish them as well. As such, keeping characters and plots straight in an already complex series occasionally became frustrating.

(I have more to say, but that's my quick thoughts right after finishing the series. I'll come back and finish this later)

De los mejores mangas que he leído en mi vida

[Sahil Tandon · Rating 4 out of 5]

It frequently feels kinda hokey, for how much of a serious and grounded story it's trying to tell, but I'm not sure how much of that is due to the manga format, where you can't convey subtle emotional beats thru acting/voice like in a movie, or how much of it is the same hokey-ness inherent to every big evil serial killer story. And more to the point, idk that the hokey-ness is even a bad thing, inherently. It is ultimately a very pulpy thriller that deals with huge philosophical questions with a degree of bluntness that's common to this genre.

[Antonio · Rating 3 out of 5]

In general it does a decent job at keeping you reading to know what will happen next and wondering who is who in the story. However the childish dialogs and the absurd and constant coincidences in the plot didn't leave a very good feeling after reading it.

کتاب : مانستر
نشر:نیماژ
مترجم: شیوا مقانلو
خلاصه کتاب:
“مانستر” یکی از برجسته‌ترین آثار نائوکی اوراساوا است که در ژانر جنایی، معمایی و روان‌شناختی قرار دارد. این مانگا که بین سال‌های ۱۹۹۴ تا ۲۰۰۱ منتشر شد، داستان دکتر کِنزو تِنما، جراح مغز و اعصاب ژاپنی مقیم آلمان را روایت می‌کند. او پس از نجات جان یک پسر جوان به نام “یوهان لیبرت” ، متوجه می‌شود که این کودک در واقع یک قاتل زنجیره‌ای بی‌رحم است. تِنما درگیر یک سفر پرتعلیق و خطرناک می‌شود تا حقیقت را کشف کند و با پیامدهای تصمیم خود روبه‌رو شود.

⚠️نظر کاملا شخصی+ اسپویل:👇

کتاب مانستر رو تموم کردم و راستش اصلا اون چیزی نبود که انتظارشو داشتم
یوهان از اول داستان حضور نداشت توی کما بود و همین از همون اول یه خلا ایجاد کرد برام
توی ذهنم تصویری از یه ویلن پیچیده و کاریزماتیک ساخته بودم اما این تصویر هیچ وقت توی داستان واقعی نشد
نه شکنجه ای دیدم نه اون تسلطی که با حرف زدنش بقیه رو به زانو دربیاره نه عمق تاریکی که قولشو داده بودن

گذشته اش رو هم که قرار بود دلیل این هیولا شدنش باشه خیلی سطحی و مبهم نشون دادن
منتظر بودم یه جایی بفهمم چی باعث شد اینطوری بشه اما فقط سرنخای نصفه نیمه بهم دادن
هیچی نگفتن که چطوری بعد از پرورشگاه تبدیل به این موجود شد یا اصلا چرا و چطور انقدر روی بقیه تاثیر می‌ذاشت

پایانش هم برام ناامیدکننده بود
فقط یه محو شدن ساده بدون هیچ حس خاصی

همه چیز انگار توی مرز بودن و نبودن گیر کرده بود
نه خود هیولا رو دیدم نه هیولایی که از بقیه می‌ساخت
هیچ وقت اون چیزیو که وعده داده بود بهم نداد

(نفهمیدم بالاخره با یه هیولا طرف بودم یا با یه سایه)

[Komal Mahmood · Rating 4 out of 5]

There are few things which can arouse a genuine fear of the psychology of man. There are lengthy discourses and non-fiction books explaining the depths of human psyche. There is personal experience. But after Crime and Punishment (Doestoevsky's brilliant account of the descent into madness of his utilitarian hero), Monster is by far the most haunting, poignant, and evocative story about the search for one's identity: after it has been taken away from one; and when it was never given to one.

We begin with the brilliant neurosurgeon, Kenzo Tenma, whose world comes crashing down when he saves the life of a gunshot victim, our eponymous Monster, the young and charming Johan Leibert.
Contrary to most popular culture churnings where the villain is almost ALWAYS a beautiful man with evil on the fringe of his personality or on his sleeve, Johan's suavity and charisma are mere tools to disguise that which we designate as evil, but which in Johan's case pervades the depth of his being.
Urasawa examines the effects of not just childhood abuse, but the Christian concept of the sinful child who has never adapted to the ways of the world and cannot discern right from wrong. Despite his experience and his knowledge, Johan is a lost soul. Urasawa aligns the lack of identity with an inherent hollowness in the person, and the existential crisis arising therefrom.

A german youth, indoctrinated in the ethos of Germanic pride, lauded as the second coming of Hitler, I couldn't help but think of Johan in terms of Wilhelm Reich's book, The Mass Psychology of Fascism, and how Johan has a tendency for breaking up the authoritarian family unit as a rebellion against what he's meant to impose; reproducing the state authority within the family system. But he's possibly merely reproducing that which he himself has known; a broken family, an isolated existence. He may have a certain level of castration anxiety but it's possible that he probably does not differentiate between the sexes (crossdressing is something he's quite accustomed to). But how much of his actions are schematic and how much spontaneous and instinctual is kept open. As is the extent to which he's delusional or rational.
He may also identify his mother as one holding a patriarchal authority over him, because it was the doubt and anger regarding her decision of giving him away, that contributed much to his distress.
Deiter could have very well been the literal interpretation of the exploitation of the 'little man'.
Johan's equation with his father is never established, considering he never knew him, but he has an obsession with his mother which goes deeper than the Freudian Oedipal Complex. The fact that Johan identifies himself through women (his sister and mother), I was given to seeing a form of structuralism there, that and his crossdressing habits combined give a form of homogeneity to Johan's sexuality; his true self never is there. He's the secondary entity. Even within the narrative, his placement is in dialogues, in memories, in activities all interpreted through others, in that he himself becomes the 'other'. In pure Freudian psychoanalytical sense, the sexual hermaphrodism of Johan is tied to his being. (He sees himself in Anna. She's his mirror image. She's intelligent but impulsive. He's cold and rational). The MKUltraesque experiments and the doctor organizing them, Franz Bonaparta has the face of Sigmund Freud and the tendencies of Josef Mengele. And in weaving together this sex-economic theory so seamlessly within a gripping narrative is where Urasawa's brilliance shines through.
Johan's appearance throughout the story is limited. We encounter him as a comatose little boy. Then through Nina's testimony we learn of his murderous behaviour. As an adult we learn of him from the perspective of Tenma, Schuwald, his mother, Bonaparta. But who really is Johan. We never really know. Perhaps he's merely a lacuna to be filled in by the monster within every character who comes. Or perhaps he's more than that. Like Beauvoir's The Second Sex depicts women as the 'other' whose identity is that which the men of the society construct for them.
Regardless, despite the audience given the frequent impression of his singular brutal nature, he is incredibly confusing. He can empathize; he does it with his 'friend' Karl. He feels a sense of honor and duty toward Tenma. He loves his sister Anna (in his own way) and most probably his mother too.

However, I am aware that Monster isn't for everyone. My mother couldn't sit through the entire thing, because there were episodes where it did certainly drag on (and here I'm speaking of the anime), but I feel those were needed for the development of the story, though from a completely entertainment perspective, they were doubtless slow (that's where I've taken down one star). Also, though Johan is the titular monster, he only rarely comes in view. His presence is basically built around the absentia and the mystical element of his personality is constructed in the myths and tales around him. We can never be certain whether a given character's account of Johan's cunning is true or not, we have no one to verify and the entire series revolves around the concept that the monster lies within us all, and Johan could easily be a projection of that which lies within. Obluda gives a good explanation of that.

For me, it's a beloved classic anime. A work of pure psychological horror and thrill. Johan is the perfect villain and he truly made me seek the beast within man. Naoki Urasawa will certainly be remembered for this (not even 20th Century Boys can beat this masterpiece!).

Buena historia, excelente villano. Varios giros inesperados.

[Zion Depradine]

Naoki Urasawa is a very reowned author. Having created his most mainstream manga: 20th Century Boys. However, his arguabaly best work is simply titled: Monster. Monster is about Dr. Kenzo Tenma. A talented Japanese brain surgeon working at a leading hospital in Germany. One nght, Tenma risks his entire carrerr and reputation to save the life of a critically wounded boy, instead saving the mayor like he was assigned. He is ruined, but is grateful he was able to save the boy. The boy however, disappears. Nine years later, Dr. Tenma encounters the boy once again - only to learn he has become a serial killer. He now embarks on a manhunt across Europe to take the very life he once saved. The mystery in the series is very well done, doing more than just leaving cliffhanger. It's able to keep the suspense for every major character, as if we would lose something when they die. The boy - Johan. Is a great antagonist, going as to far as to say he's one of the best. He goes through extreme lenghts to erase any and all information related to him and his origin. He's not crazy just to be crazy, but calm and collected, and chooses his actions and words wisely. How he is and acts is all tied into the mystery surrounding the series and his past. Characters are also well done and developed. They're involvled in the mystery of Johan one way or the other, and Tenma goes on a conflicted journey how to take a life knowing he cant.

[Evan · Rating 4 out of 5]

An 18-volume manga series, regarded by some as the best ever, is tough to review in the few sentences I'm willing to give it. It was good, certainly, and entertaining; but perhaps the destructive promise of the early volumes was constrained by the small-town settings in which the later volumes unfold.

What could have unfolded into some kind of world-destruction plot (to which Japanese storytelling is no stranger) or an intimately personal story of self-destruction (which is sometimes all the more wrenching) instead finds itself in the middle, with a lot of characters but not untold millions. Christopher Nolan-esque questions - is it real, or not? - are hinted at, but not asked, and one wonders if the author really even wanted to ask them.

(Spoiler)
In the end, the middle volumes carry the show. One review online, which I think posits a creative way of reading the series, described the battles between Johan and Tenma as the battle between the beautiful world the author creates (Tenma) and the destructive forces that must be unleashed in order for the story (hero faces adversity) to progress, which means the author's world must by definition become unbalanced.

Some more reading on social psychology and behaviorism would also be illuminating, as it's likely that Urasawa did a bit of homework in crafting his characters and story.

La historia era prometedora, pero ha resultado ser un auténtico tostón.

La impresión final es que el autor no sabía muy bien qué hacer con los personajes principales, así que se dedica a complicar la trama con grupos de la ultraderecha alemana, ex-agentes de la RDA, experimentos de lavado de cerebro... vamos, lo de siempre. Esta historia ya la hemos leído en un montón de sitios. Los personajes son de lo más típico y previsible, y algunos de los diálogos son simplemente sonrojantes. Una penita, porque el dibujo me ha gustado mucho.

I'm big fan of Urasawa's work since 20th century boys. For me, this manga was Amazing, the way the story is developed never revealing to much, always keeping the mistery... is really great.
There's a lot of characters but all the side stories of this characters have a very deep meaning as always with Naoki Urasawa's work.

Someone warned me that when I would start reading this book, I would read through the whole thing in one go. It was true, with a nap break from 3 in the morning to 10 at noon, then continuing to get to the end.

I warned other people about this as well. Some of them did it too.

It really is this amazingly good.

QUICK REVIEW (for entire series, volumes 1-18): A series with exhilarating moments of suspense, mystery, and discovery; unfortunately, the length of the series is more fatiguing than substantial, while the overabundance of characters makes the story slightly contrived and all-over-the-place | TAKE A CHANCE
