I was addicted to the anime for this title, so I was super interested in the books. You can read my review of the anime on my movie/show blog. I was fortunate to get my hands on the whole set of them, so once I was done with one, I was able to start the next one. Needless to say, it didn't take me long to get these done.
Again, I'm not saying much about the plot. Dr. Tenma saves a young boy who grows up to be a serial killer. Tenma is under suspicion and feels responsible since he's the one who saved the boy.
I was impressed how faithful the show was to the manga. The beats hit very close if not exactly the same. Dialogue was added here and there for obvious reasons, but the story itself remained intact, and I was so happy about that. I was able to catch those small details that I missed when I watched the show, and it's going to be great to be able to go back in the future and read these again.
My copies were all in pristine shape except Volume 6. I have no idea what happened there, but the cover page and the first page of the story were missing. I wasn't lost, and it's not worth pitching a fit over. Seriously, though. If you like a good, complex story where you're not sure where it's going next, see if you can track this down. Give it a shot. Good Book!
