Summary
"Once upon a time， there lived a monster without a name。 He wanted a name very badly。 So one day he made up his mind to set out on a journey to find a name。"
How could this strange Czech children's story have upset Johan so much？ Does the book hold any clues to the mystery of Johan's birth？ One mystery leads to another as events unfold。
The border police spot Tenma when he tries to smuggle himself into the Czech Republic to look for Johan's mother。 With the help of Grimmer， a freelance journalist， Tenma manages a narrow escape。 Though the two men part without discussing what brought them together， Grimmer is also deeply interested in the same thing Tenma is looking for-511 Kinderheim， which once existed in East Germany。
The story moves to the streets of Prague。。。

La historia comienza a enredarse más， surgen nuevos personajes y más preguntas。 Lo mejor de este volumen es el capítulo de la biblioteca！

This is probably the fastest volume yet as all the plots begin to move forward while somehow introducing two new characters that are great。 So first off we pickup where we left off。 Tenma has a gun and he's waiting for Johan Liebert to make his grand appearance so he can finally kill him。 On top of that we learn what Liebert true plan is this whole time。 Nina finds out what's happening and heads to the scene。 Lunge， the detective， also begins to figure it all out。 The second half of this book ta This is probably the fastest volume yet as all the plots begin to move forward while somehow introducing two new characters that are great。 So first off we pickup where we left off。 Tenma has a gun and he's waiting for Johan Liebert to make his grand appearance so he can finally kill him。 On top of that we learn what Liebert true plan is this whole time。 Nina finds out what's happening and heads to the scene。 Lunge， the detective， also begins to figure it all out。 The second half of this book takes a break from the characters we know and focuses on Grimmer， a extremely interesting journalist who was once spy trying to uncover the background of Johan and his childhood。 Everything about this volume worked。 The pacing， the death of certain characters， the discoveries。 Just everything comes to a head in a great way。 Love Tenma's quite moments at the start reflecting on his childhood。 Loved seeing Liebert for what he is。 The new character Grimmer grows on you quick and you sense a sadness behind him that's just asking for you to discover more。 Honestly， this is probably my favorite volume yet and we still have 4 more fucking volumes。 Goddamn Urasawa is one of the best。 A 5 out of 5。 。。。more

Ya me voy oliendo unas cuantas cositas en torno a Johan pero nada es seguro porque bien malo soy para teorías。Este tomo me ha traído nuevo personaje con buena relevancia en la trama y me ha conquistado。 Como siempre。

4，5。 Two aspects of this are bothering me。 First， the anti-communism within the story， because some concepts of this ideology were misunderstanding by the author which led to problematic ideals。 Second， I’m not sure why Urasawa keeps adding characters that probably aren’t important for the whole plot， it’s kinda exhausting to follow that many。

Nothing to write home about in this issue， feels more like a filler but progresses the story by introducing， you guessed it， more characters （which might eventually be the missing puzzle piece， who knows what the big picture is！ ）

This was another really solid entry into the series。 I do feel that it was more of a set-up for volume 6 though。 Still a really great read。

8/10。Todo lo que sucede en la biblioteca ha sido increíble。 Después vuelve un poco la calma， con un viaje a Praga， nuevos personajes y un cambio en Nina。

Christ that opening was tense。 I’m enjoying the new character they introduce here and web is getting more intricate without feeling like it’s overturned。 My one concern would be a bit of coincidence but it’s minor and the characters are massaged to be in the same locations well enough。

My favorite volume so far。 Super suspenseful and psychologically rich。 The Grimmer character is an excellent new addition。 Still occasionally cheesy or unbelievable， but not enough to ruin the fun。

Não achei tão interessante， porque a segunda metade （originalmente， o 10º volume）， segue um arco paralelo e fiquei meio perdida na história。 Preciso de ler o próximo volume。

I love this volume already， know why？ Because the first page has my favorite character with judgmental eyebrows glaring at me through the title page！ Love it。This series is incredibly strong in the story department and keeps revealing even more fascinating characters。 This time we have the ever-smiling Herr Grimmer as he tracks the origins of the mysterious orphanage that seems to have birthed the Monster。 Speaking of which， what is he up to？ There is clearly a master plan that is unfolding。 I r I love this volume already， know why？ Because the first page has my favorite character with judgmental eyebrows glaring at me through the title page！ Love it。This series is incredibly strong in the story department and keeps revealing even more fascinating characters。 This time we have the ever-smiling Herr Grimmer as he tracks the origins of the mysterious orphanage that seems to have birthed the Monster。 Speaking of which， what is he up to？ There is clearly a master plan that is unfolding。 I read each volume of this series at a faster and faster pace。 Urasawa is a master at ending each chapter on an intriguing cliffhanger。 How will it turn out？ 。。。more

Al igual que el anterior， mientras más avanzo el interés va disminuyendo。 Bastante tedioso que tanto buenos como villanos se encuentran por arte de magia， parece que es un mundo en miniatura donde solo viven los protagonistas y unas cuantas personas de adorno。

Oh yeah， this is getting spicy。 My favourite volume so far in this series since the first one。

Esta historia， cuya premisa me había gustado， pero su desarrollo en los volúmenes dos y tres me habían dejado mucho que desear。 Cobra más fuerza en el tomo cuatro y avanza considerablemente en este， el tomo cinco。Urasawa es famoso por contar historias bastante complejas y rebuscadas un poco a propósito。 En cada tomo introduce muchos personajes que al principio parecen que está desviando la historia pero al final todas estas sub líneas narrativas， convergen en un punto。 El tomo cinco me gustó por Esta historia， cuya premisa me había gustado， pero su desarrollo en los volúmenes dos y tres me habían dejado mucho que desear。 Cobra más fuerza en el tomo cuatro y avanza considerablemente en este， el tomo cinco。Urasawa es famoso por contar historias bastante complejas y rebuscadas un poco a propósito。 En cada tomo introduce muchos personajes que al principio parecen que está desviando la historia pero al final todas estas sub líneas narrativas， convergen en un punto。 El tomo cinco me gustó porque esta convergencia sucede a la mitad y nuevamente comienza a suceder al final。 No tuvimos que esperar dos tomos de esta edición doble （cuatro tomos de la edición normal） como sucede en los primeros volúmenes。La primera mitad trata de cerrar la historia de Johan， Karl y el vampiro de Bavaria。 El momento clímax es esta convergencia donde se unen todas las sub líneas。 El volumen es bastante claro， directo y conciso; características que no definen normalmente al maestro Urasawa。 A pesar de haber leído el tomo cuatro hace 5 meses aproximadamente， no necesité recordar cosas muy específicas para unirme a la historia y seguir disfrutándola。La segunda mitad introduce personajes nuevos， nuevas sub líneas y parece que nos acercamos un poco más al misterio del origen de Johan y de sus objetivos。 Introducen a un reportero llamado Grimer que como personaje me gustó mucho。 Es la típica fórmula de Urasawa para cierto tipo de personajes pero me gustó que lo introdujera。 Pude conectar con ese personaje mucho mejor que con cualquier otro， incluyendo Nina y Tenma。Tengo los tomos seis y siete y aunque normalmente me toma meses retomar la historia， creo que la leeré lo más pronto posible， nuevamente me enganchó esta trama。 。。。more

The culmination of events that lead up to the beginning of this volume left me dissatisfied。 It was another stepping stone in the pond。 Tis no bad thing。 The volume picks up with the addition of Grimmer and somewhat falls back on the formula that is starting to repeat itself。 If you keep formulas interesting then you're doing something right。 It's like writers who take the most cliche story and deliver with an accent of freshness。 I will continue with the series with the hopes that we eventuall The culmination of events that lead up to the beginning of this volume left me dissatisfied。 It was another stepping stone in the pond。 Tis no bad thing。 The volume picks up with the addition of Grimmer and somewhat falls back on the formula that is starting to repeat itself。 If you keep formulas interesting then you're doing something right。 It's like writers who take the most cliche story and deliver with an accent of freshness。 I will continue with the series with the hopes that we eventually get a glimpse at the darkness all the characters keep saying is so abysmal。 It's kinda like Bird Box。。。 。。。more

Continues the mystery that has been building for the last 5 books

the last volume must have been a bump in the road cause I feel like this one has gone back to what I love most about the series: the mystery， the interesting side characters and the little surprises/twists。 really enjoyed this volume。

Chomp-chomp， munch-munch， gobble-gobble， gulp！This is a recurring phrase from the fictional children’s book titled “The Nameless Monster” within Naoki Urasawa’s manga。 It tells the story of a monster in search of a name and upon meeting several people， the monster is allowed to be swallowed into a human being， who becomes healthier and stronger， and eventually being eaten from the inside by the monster， who once again is lacking a name。So， what does this have to do with the main narrative of a J Chomp-chomp， munch-munch， gobble-gobble， gulp！This is a recurring phrase from the fictional children’s book titled “The Nameless Monster” within Naoki Urasawa’s manga。 It tells the story of a monster in search of a name and upon meeting several people， the monster is allowed to be swallowed into a human being， who becomes healthier and stronger， and eventually being eaten from the inside by the monster， who once again is lacking a name。So， what does this have to do with the main narrative of a Japanese former doctor hunts the serial killer he saved when he was a child？ Apart from the end of the children’s story in which a monster is one with the young boy named Johan – possibly the inspiration for naming the main antagonist of Monster – the story itself reflects on the recurring theme that Urasawa has explored， which is the monster within everybody。 A nice interval just before the climax， though not necessarily the end。Tenma sneaks into the library with the rifle， preparing to take the life of Johan， now the personal assistant to the billionaire Hans Georg Schuwald， who is presenting the book donation ceremony。 This is certainly the most action-orientated the manga has ever been， in how it builds up to the moment where Tenma is about to take his first life， whilst the likes of Dr Reichwein， Nina and little Dieter are desperate to save Tenma from making a terrible mistake。In this race against time， the most menacing thing about this whole section is the presence of Johan， who through his stillness speaks volumes and during the eventual hellfire that occurs， the words he says towards Schuwald are truly chilling， whilst evoking the storytelling of “A Nameless Monster”。Halfway through this volume， the narrative takes a shift as follows the aftermath where there is some tying up of loose-ends， Tenma takes a seat-back as during his journey to Prague， he crosses paths with Grimmer。 As a freelance journalist， Grimmer investigates the experiments in 511 Kinderheim， the place that made Johan into what he is。 Upon finding the former director of that address， Grimmer discovers a group of young boys who seem to be going through a similar experiment in what happened years ago。What makes Grimmer an instant favourite is his happy-go-lucky charm， even when he confronts danger or is confronted by such。 Despite his upbeat attitude， there is something else within Grimmer， especially when he discovers the true purpose of the current experiment， where the children are happy in the best sense of the word。 Was Grimmer ever that happy at that age？With a stronger emphasis on action， Urasawa’s strength as an artist relies more on dramatic conversations， where he proves to be a master of illustrating facial expressions。 One supporting character， in particular， who is introduced as obviously a nice guy， only to be revealed to be a baddie and thus his presence just reeks of evilness， especially when a torture involving forcibly removing fingernails occurs。Mystery continues to play a big part with not only Johan and his backstory， but there are forces of good and evil are about to forge。 Will the next volume provide some answers？ 。。。more
