The best thriller I've ever seen out of ALL form of media.

This is one of the few series I would rate a masterpiece.

Before you continue you reading, if you go into this expecting too much, you'll be disappointed. You need to see it as it is, and find somewhere in the middle of expectations. I feel as if my enjoyment level was effected a little bit, due to being so highly praised, but once I gave it some thought, it still is a brilliant and masterful piece.

It's not you're typical manga, there's no superpower, supernatural, or overly depressing life stories with this one. This honestly feels like an American made TV show. It's very eerie, and very suspenseful. It is definitely worth your every penny. (Please, purchase if you are going to read it. Support this brilliant Author/Mangaka "Naoki Urasawa".)

It's also worth your full attention; as there is so many characters introduced, with meaning. Even the smallest character you meet, effects the story and might even show up 10+ volumes in after only seeing him in the first couple.

It's a story about this neurosurgeon "Dr. Tenma" whose faced with the choice to save the mayor, and get a promotion, or choose a young boy, who came in before the mayor, and get a demotion/never be promoted again. Either way, one of them dies.

Well, he chooses the boy feeling emotional, and saves his life. Thus getting demoted of Lead Neurosurgeon, and never going anywhere with his career again. But, a couple days later, everyone in power of keeping Dr. Tenma from his rightfully deserved position, dies. and Tenma is then promoted. Naturally, the investigators suspect Tenma.

Now, if you don't want spoilers to who the killer is, don't read any further. Personally, I would recommend stopping here, and reading it yourself. (Even though they tell you who the killer is in the first volume)

The killer... is the boy Tenma saved. He finds out 10 years later, after all these strange murders are taken place, the killer then tries to kill one of Tenma's patients, to which the killer revealed himself to Tenma. So, Tenma sets out on a journey to kill this MONSTER, this Devil... and it's just... An amazing story.

Overall I give it a 10/10, perfectly done. The ending was a little anti-climactic for most, but personally I think it was very well done. The story was never meant to end is a super, climactic battle between the two. But that last page... Ughhghh it gave me shivers. 10/10, can't say it enough.

Please, read this masterpiece. Purchase this masterpiece and support the series. But, like I said, don't go into it expecting TOO much. Just, read it. Stop reading reviews, stop watching videos. Just READ it.
