A great start to a promising series! Murdery mystery, suspense, tension, and intrigue--this has it all. I watched the anime adaptation of this series a while back and loved it, and based on this first volume, it's looking like I will enjoy the manga just as much. It's been long enough that I don't remember everything that happens (plus not to mention sometimes anime adaptations are less than faithful to their manga counterparts), so this is sure to be a fun and entertaining ride!

THE GOOD: Pas grand chose.

THE BAD: Je n’ai pas adoré ce manga. Il est très politique et manque d’action.

THE UGLY: À ressayer peut-être quand je serai beaucoup plus mature…

The ending was a bit too sentimental for me. I found the start very interesting

Muito bom este primeiro volume. Levanta muitas questões éticas e o mistério prende-nos à história. Para mim teve um gostinho especial, visto que a personagem principal é um profissional de saúde que partilha comigo a mesma perspectiva sobre as vidas humanas e, consequentemente, despreza quem coloca os números como "O" objectivo dos serviços de saúde. O "Monster" está a ser muito bem construído como o vilão da história. Quero continuar com o mangá muito brevemente!
