Monster Manga Naoki Urasawa Vol 1 & 3-8 Good Condition

About this deal

Monster is a seinen manga written and illustrated by Naoki Urasawa, serialised in Shogakukan's Big Comic Original from 1994 to 2001. The story follows Kenzo Tenma, a Japanese neurosurgeon in Dusseldorf, whose life unravels after encountering Johan Liebert, a former patient. Johan resurfaces years later as an enigmatic serial killer who frames Tenma, forcing the doctor-turned-vigilante to evade the police while tracking the real killer across Europe. The manga is noted for its realistic art style, blending detailed backgrounds with character-driven storytelling, and employs cinematic techniques to enhance its suspenseful atmosphere. Monster was Urasawa's first work to receive international acclaim, with over 20 million copies in circulation, and has won several awards including the 46th Shogakukan Manga Award. This lot contains volumes 1 and 3 to 8 of the original 18-volume English-language release, all described as being in very good condition, making it a great way to start or continue the series at a reduced price.
