Text amagat.
Dr. Kenzou Tenma, an elite neurosurgeon recently engaged to his hospital director's daughter, is well on his way to ascending the hospital hierarchy. That is until one night, a seemingly small event changes Dr. Tenma's life forever. While preparing to perform surgery on someone, he gets a call from the hospital director telling him to switch patients and instead perform life-saving brain surgery on a famous performer. His fellow doctors, fiancée, and the hospital director applaud his accomplishment; but because of the switch, a poor immigrant worker is dead, causing Dr. Tenma to have a crisis of conscience.
So when a similar situation arises, Dr. Tenma stands his ground and chooses to perform surgery on the young boy Johan Liebert instead of the town's mayor. Unfortunately, this choice leads to serious ramifications for Dr. Tenma—losing his social standing being one of them. However, with the mysterious death of the director and two other doctors, Dr. Tenma's position is restored. With no evidence to convict him, he is released and goes on to attain the position of hospital director.
Nine years later when Dr. Tenma saves the life of a criminal, his past comes back to haunt him—once again, he comes face to face with the monster he operated on. He must now embark on a quest of pursuit to make amends for the havoc spread by the one he saved.

Opinió Personal: 10/10. Això us puc dir. Vaig mirar l'anime quan era molt menor sense entendre'n gaire (només vaig poder percebre que era fantàstic), me'l vaig remirar de més gran, i ja finalment vaig poder llegir el manga en el que està basat (de Naoki Urasawa) i vaig concloure que, efectivament, obra mestra.
Com que la sinopsi de MAL és quilomètrica i avorrida, ja us en faig jo un resum de l'argument:
En Kenzo Tenma és un neurocirurgià de la hòstia que treballa en un hospital fent operacions. Però el director de l'hospital s'aprofita d'ell i el fa operar a famosos per aconseguir rèdit econòmic i polític. Un dia en Tenma decideix operar a un nen amb una bala al cap que ha arribat abans que un polític important, desobeïnt les ordres del director i esguerrant el seu futur professional.
9 anys més tard, en Tenma es topa amb el nen que va salvar, en Johan Liebert (ara adult). Davant seu, en Johan assassina a un dels seus pacients, i en Tenma descobreix que és un assassí en sèrie buscat per la policia.
En Tenma ho abandona tot i empren un viatge per trobar-lo. Ell va ser el que ho va sacrificar tot per donar-li la vida, i ara serà ell el que li llevi.
Monster és un viatge fascinant de la conducta i la ment humana. És ple de diàleg i posa molta èmfasi en la construcció del món, la societat, la política i les persones. La història comença al 1986 i la majoria de l'anime passa el 1995 (9 anys després de salvar a en Johan), a Alemanya.
