MONSTER | Full Story, Analysis, and Review

A far too detailed look at one of my favourite manga: MONSTER.

Covering the full story, all 162 chapters, with some extra detail from Another Monster. Picking out some topics to talk about as we go. The genius of The Nameless Monster and the other Bonaparta books; the frustration and mistakes of the Frau Kempf letters; CandyGate and so many more. Then a look to clear up the ending and how it's stronger than people give it credit for. A deep look at Johan Liebert and trying to explain him completely. A "Cohesive" Johan if you would. Finally some personal takes and connections Monster has to some other big literature stories.

All in all just about everything you need to know about MONSTER is in here. Hopefully answering any and all questions the series may have left you with. Feel free to leave a comment with any I may have missed. Enjoy!
