Monster continues to be really interesting.

This volume feels more episodic in a way. It's broken into two major storylines and both fill like they'd fill about 2 episodes of anime. The first is our main hero, Dr. Tenma, trying to help a young boy from being taken by a fucking psycho. The next would be Tenma and the boy traveling to the country side and saving someone. Last arc doesn't have much to do with Tenma, but a ton to do with a old lover, and how she'll be on the hunt for him too.

All the moving pieces here are interesting. What Urasawa does so well is give us a huge cast yet it's easy to follow who is who. Each storyline presented, even if not fully complete, is interesting. The slow build is pushed a bit quicker this volume and things move quicker. The art is still great as well.

There's not much negative I could say about this other than it feels a bit filler at parts, but in the best possible way. I can't wait to read more. A 4.5 out of 5.
