Chapters 1-2
Kapitel 1: Herr Dr. Tenma
20th century boys would be better
Kapitel 2: Kill
>>287767871Ah, goddamit. I wanted to do this one.Are you gonna do 2 per day the whole way through, or only on the first thread?
>>287768690Yes, the plan is 2 chapters a day.
>>287768782Fair.I normally prefer 1 chapter, but Monster's chapters aren't that long.
to be continued...
>>287769191thank you opie
>>287767934>Herr Dr. Tenmathat's like saying Sir Doctor Tenma, or Tenma-sensei-sama, do German really do this?
>>287767871 I had just caught up with Asadora the other day and was thinking of reading this or 20th century boys. Thanks!
>>287770314Yes we do. If you talk to a Doktor directly you just use Doktor, but talking about one in a third person you usually put a Herr or Frau before it.
why /a/ hate Monster again?
>>287770894most neo /a/nons just don't know about itthe manga is older than /a/, 4chan didn't even exist when it ended
>>287767871Oh, nice. I'm due for a reread. I have odd memories of finding it both very well done yet oddly never clicking with it much.
>>287767934You know, I just realized that there is no reason to make the main character Japanese. He could be a German and nothing would change.
>>287768364Is Tenma actually in love with Eva? They have nothing in common.
>>287769114What would you do if you were in his shoes?
>>287770641How is Asadora? I read vol 1 and it didn't click with me. I don't even remember what it is about?
>>287771975the same, fuck the mayor
>>287770894The anime adaptation is not particularly great I've heard.
>>287771998 It's a political drama about a girl who flies a plane in the 60s. The government hired her to fight a kaiju and prevent it from reaching the coast. The whole thing is a secret to help Japan prosper after the war. The leaders of the country can't send their military because they got reduced to a self defense force. They also can't let America know about the monster because they fear America would just nuke it and harm the country (again). It's not his best work but the guy still has a way to write and draw characters that's just charismatic.
>>287768330Monster it's more consistent.
>>287770894cause it's not that good but still gets jerked off like second coming of christ.
>>287770894Contrarianism, mostly.
>>287774874It seems to get shit talked more than it gets praised, on this site at least
>>287767871>not B.BatI sleep
>>287770894i liked it, dgaf about tenma or nina though i only finished it to see what happened with everyone else, its blade of the immortal all over again
>>287768364great job at making her face as despicable as possible
First time reading this, it's really good.
>>287769075All the dialogue and flashback dulls the point; it'd be more elegant and effective to show his expression and nothing else.
>>287768110>>287768131This guy does look satisfyingly German.
>>287768147>>287768160>>287768178Nothing wrong with kissing ass as long as one day you get people kissing yours.
any new scans or should I expect tiny ass pages after vol 2?
I've never read this until now
>>287769191Thanks.
>>287768254Gotta love a sleazy old man.
>>287774366 but i already read it
The only Urasawa I've read is Billy bat, couldn't stand it
>>287767871Just wanted to say thank you op, I'll be following til the end.
>>287768092God Eva looks so damn ugly
>>287783287you would though
>>287775534Monster is exactly as good as people say it is and very well executed by most objective metres yet somehow it tends not to stick with you from what I've seen. I read it all and found it really good yet somehow tastes-wise it leaves me indifferent, and there are many far more flawed manga I prefer over it.>>287775688OP should just do all his works like a good daily readalongs mule.
>>287768693Do writers actually research all this medical shit when they create a story like this, or do they just have friends in the business help them out?
>>287770894I tried to watch the anime once. It was genuinely really fucking boring after the first 10 or so episodes. Every episode felt like filler that was constantly rehashing the same plot over and over again.
>>287783525Depends on the writer and to some degree on the publisher. There is no standard. You can look it up yourself, get a consultant, or just not give a fuck and write whatever. As with all things in writing. I do imagine it's easier to ask a doctor than to do all the research yourself.
>>287783671Also I personally really hate characters like Tenma who feel like self inserts that get treated like saints who can't never do anything wrong.
>>287771872But then you wouldn't have the "I'm Japanese" scene.
>>287783764>self inserts that get treated like saints who can't never do anything wrongThe whole plot hinges on him making the wrong choice.
>>287769075>>287769049Dental plan. Lisa need braces. Some live are worth more than others. I want my husband back. Dental plan...
Kapitel 3: The Fall
Kapitel 4: Brother and Sister
Crazy that hospitals and doctors really are like this.
>>287776918He looks like Breznev>>287768110>>287768131
>>287788783I work in healthcare and you have no idea what they get away with.
>>287768967Picky and particular for a guy getting stuff for free.>>287767871Thanks OP, have always wanted to read this. Great so far, the faces are very expressive. Who'd have thought there could be so many different noses.
>>287788236Stealing candy from a comatose childJust so you know, He's the bad guy
>>287790032He was clearly just sleeping and no longer comatose, baka.
>>287788487Thanks.
>>287788487Thank you for posting.
>>287768227>He's so good his colleague actually thinks dating with the director's daughter is holding him backUsually it's the other way round
>>287788236O my
>>287787987Monkey paw curls
>>287788236But how did he know they would eat the candies?
>>287787555>The whole hospital has to rely on 1 guyWould the outcome change if they prepared well without Tenma? I honestly don't think so
>>287787855>>287787876>>287787897>>287787919Alright I didn't expect him to be this slow in the headSeriously what was he expecting
HOW THE FUCK DID HE POISON A SEALED BAG OF CANDY
>>287794874Probably because he knows his talent and didn't expect the director to drop him this hard this fast.
thank you OP! I just finished watching the anime, and seriously enjoyed it. I love reading the manga afterwards to compare shot-for-panel moments.
>>287794893Because he's Johan.
I feel like there was a Monster manga dump just like a year or two ago here but it was probably actually like 5 years ago
One of the worst manga I've ever read
>>287794965Read a second manga.
>>287788349I miss my life.
>>287788004I used to find Tenma so unrelatable. An optimistic, blind fool... irritating. I disliked him to a degree, even. I think it's a bit soothing to realize I've always been like him.
>>287796561This panel is the only thing I know about MonsterI'm looking forward to it
>>287768131literally brezhnev
>>287788020ENTER
>>287770894Contrarianism.People shit on the anime for being 70 episodes or something but I never felt like that was too much of a problem.
>>287788487Thanks OP
Tenma is such an insufferable Gary Stu.
This feels kind of retarded tbqhLike, if Tenma is the only competent surgeon this hospital has, then firing him would ruin its reputation regardless of whether you prioritize political figures/celebrities or not.
>>287800226That's office politics for you
>>287800226You may think this is retarded but in reality the world IS retarded
>>287788783>>287789193It's scary to think about.
