Monster going to Film in Hollywood

Monster is going to Film in Hollywood.
Monster is a comic which has sold more than 25 million copies in Japan, and also found a strong following throughout Asia and Europe. Naoki Urasawa created it, if you check for in Google; you may find a lot of links in various languages. That comic was previously adapted into an animated Japanese television series and has spawned 18 volumes as a manga series. I have read them all and watched the TV series too.

The story is not so simple, it is a kind of psychological thriller about an orphan in East Germany.--- A young doctor, Tenma, who saves the life of a little boy named Johan -but the doctor later finds out that he has saved the life of a brilliant killer. Why does Johan have to kill people? What happen in his childhood in orphanage? The doctor must then track down the young killer and solve a larger conspiracy.

I hardly eve read manga/comics, but Naoki Urasawa is one of the manga creators who I like to read sometimes. This site tell alot about him. His most famous manga is probably "Yawara" which is a happy Judo girl story. However I recommend his "Twentieth Century boys", "Master Keaton" (This is the English DVD site) , or "Plute" (Originally created by Osamu Tezuka :Astro boy) for good entertainment. Urasawa's good drawing and interesting plot is nice for adults to enjoy. Actually Monster aired around 1am, because the story is too dark, political, and difficult for children to understand. You can check some scenes on TV series website. Here is a opening music. David Sylvian (a member of "JAPAN" ) sings a ending title, you can chech out a lot of the trailers here , here and more.

If you want to know the entire story, here is a translated version of the story. It was no small task either; there are 162 chapters in this sotry. He made the smae effort to translate the 20th century boys too. Great.
Now the North American Amazon sell comics now, please try before the film.

Hi Small Blue Thing
Your name sounds nice, anyway I did not know it is possible to read in Spain. suprising.

Hi TronDD
Monster is okay to me, personally I enjoyed Moster Keaton more. I heard 20th is better than Monster.

I read "Monster" here in Spain some time ago. It's really a nice reading. Hope the American Guys will make their work as it deserves!

I read the "Monster" manga. It is a very good story and one that people not familiar with or a fan of Japanese manga or animation could easily enjoy.

I keep meaning to read "20th Century Boys" but can't find the time.
