Monster, Vol. 1: The Perfect Edition

Monster, Vol. 1: The Perfect Edition
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

Like most Monster fans, I'm excited to see this series being reprinted in omnibus format (2 in 1) since the original volumes are out of print. A new volume will come out every 3 months for a total of 9 volumes. It'll be a long journey, but so worth it!

This volume covers the first 16 chapters, ending with "One Soldier and One Girl." The quality of the manga is excellent. It has the same paper quality and size as Pluto, which was also created by Naoki Urasawa. This means that the pages feel nice and durable, and the pictures/text are big and crisp. Best of all, it has colored pages at the beginning and end of the book! Also note that this volume is twice as thick and a little bigger than the original volumes, yet still very easy to handle.

Definitely check this out if you are a fan of Monster, even if you have the original volumes. Personally, I prefer the new cover art, size, and paper quality of this volume. Just amazing overall
