I can't believe that these books are so AMAZING! It thrills me totally and I just cannot imagine what is going to happen until the last volume of the series. I love Dr Tenma because he always tries to do his best to save lives and also to find out were the twins are. Monster also has memorable dialogues just like the last one of this volume. Totally in love with it :)

Increíble esta serie de manga. Me he sentado esta tarde a leerlo y he acabado a la una y media de la madrugada de leerlo, pero es que ¡no podía dejarlo a medias sin saber qué iba a pasar con los personajes! Me encanta como el Dr Tenma sigue sus ideales, tanto de proteger las vidas de los demás como de conocer el paradero de los hermanos. Me encantan los personajes que se va encontrando por el camino y algunos de sus diálogos son memorables, como el que cierra este segundo volumen. Posiblemente uno de los manga más interesantes que haya leído nunca y un gran misterio por resolver.

A bit hard to follow at times while predictable/clichéd at other points. Still a pretty solid read.

Lower stars bc this kind of thing is best read in one sitting and I had a disjointed experience bc something was always coming up when I tried to sit down and read it.

in this volume we have

-Nina/anna is going to be used by neo nazis as a bait because they want to install johan as a "new hitler", she says that won't work because a superior race ideology is too petty as Johan "hates everyone equally".

-The creepy inspector is still on the case

-Subplot about the neonazis seting the turkish quarter on fire, Dieter and Nina work together to stop it

-johan kills more

-Nina has been training at the range while working at an italian restuarant that is run by a former assassin

-Reveal that Johan has split personality disorder (? I think that's what was implied)

anyway I need to read the rest in rapid fire or else I get confused

Oh and also we have a new character who wants Tenma to be an underworld doctor as a moneymaking scheme
