This premium edition features high-quality paper and print, making it a must-have for mature readers and collectors. Ranked among the top horror and crime graphic novels, it offers a gripping exploration of good versus evil through the journey of Dr. Kenzo Tenma as he hunts a chilling serial killer in post-reunification Germany. ## Description Naoki Urasawa’s unforgettable thriller follows a brilliant doctor’s journey into the darkest depths of the human soul. Johan is a cold and calculating killer with a mysterious past, and brilliant Dr. Kenzo Tenma is the only one who can stop him! Conspiracy and serial murder open the door to a compelling, intricately woven plot in this masterwork of suspense. Everyone faces uncertainty at some point in their lives. Even a brilliant surgeon like Kenzo Tenma is no exception. But there’s no way he could have known that his decision to stop chasing professional success and instead concentrate on his oath to save peoples’ lives would result in the birth of an abomination. The questions of good and evil now take on a terrifyingly real dimension. Years later, in Germany during the tumultuous post-reunification period, middle-aged childless couples are being killed one after another. The serial killer’s identity is known. The reasons why he kills are not. Dr. Tenma sets out on a journey to find the killer’s twin sister, who may hold some clues to solving the enigma of the “Monster.” Review: I cannot recommend this enough - I cannot recommend this enough. If you came into manga like I did by reading the more familiar stories about ninja, demons and the like then this real-world story might initially seem a little slow. Do not be put off. This is definitely a story aimed at more mature readers and it takes its time to build up the tension. The story is dark but realistic and the character development is thorough and deep. I have only read the first two volumes of the manga but saw the anime version of this story probably about ten years ago and they both run identicaly (as best as I can recall). This version of the manga is top quality, the paper is not the cheap pulp stuff you find on some manga books. If this is your first manga then I would say it is a good place to start. The story is very clearly presented and the artwork is incredible. I find some manga confusing as there is far too much going on per page, too many speech bubbles and the characters sometimes look quite similar. In this case the characters are so well drawn that you can tell exactly what they are thinking by their expressions - the reality of the characters made me much more invested in the story, made me have much stronger feelings about who I liked and who I did not. I will be buying the rest of the series without doubt.

I first tried Claymore, Death Note and Dragon Ball which I have watched so knew what to expect. I heard about this one being the best manga for many people so I was ineterested in taking the plunge and trying a manga I have never watched before. I was blown away, I am halfway through book 1 in just a few hours, its such an engrossing story and the premise in Europe is very refressing (Though many of the 'Europeans' seem to look the same in some scenes with big noses ha ha) I actually want to source the anime now but cant find it anywhere. ## Frequently Bought Together - Monster: The Perfect Edition, Vol. 1 (1) - Monster: The Perfect Edition, Vol. 2 (2) - Monster: The Perfect Edition, Vol. 3 (3) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/48824115-monster-the-perfect-edition-vol-1-the-perfect-edition-volume](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/48824115-monster-the-perfect-edition-vol-1-the-perfect-edition-volume) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
