Deskripsi :
Dr. Kenzō Tenma is a young Japanese doctor, working at Eisler Memorial Hospital in Düsseldorf in 1986. An accomplished brain surgeon,
he seems to have everything: a soon-to-be promotion; the favor of the
hospital's director, Udo Heinemann; and Heinemann's daughter Eva as his
fiancée. However, Tenma is increasingly dissatisfied with the political
bias of the hospital in treating patients, and seizes the chance to
change things after a massacre brings fraternal twins Johan and Anna
Liebert into the hospital. Tenma, going by his ethics as a doctor,
decides to operate on Johan instead of the mayor of Düsseldorf, who
arrived later. Johan is saved, but Mayor Roedecker dies. Tenma loses his
social standing (and Eva) as a result, but comforts himself by
believing he did the right thing and despairs of ever achieving his
earlier high goals. However, Director Heinemann and the other doctors in
Tenma's way are mysteriously murdered, and both children disappear from
the hospital soon afterwards. The police suspect Tenma, since he
benefits from the unfortunate turn of events; however, they have no
evidence and can only question him.
Nine years later, Tenma is Chief of Surgery at Eisler Memorial. A
patient of his, being questioned in connection with the murder of
middle-aged couples across Germany, is murdered in front of his eyes,
and the killer is revealed to be Johan Liebert, the child who
disappeared. Tenma tells all to the police, but they find no trace of
anyone named Johan Liebert, and Tenma soon becomes the lead suspect.
Distraught that what he believed was the right thing has actually led to
so much misery, Tenma begins to track down Johan, wanting to hunt the
Monster down as atonement for his fatal mistake.
Tenma's hunt for Johan brings him face to face with the dingy,
unpleasant underbelly of the world, from politics to organized crime,
from serial killers to innocent orphans, a showcasing of how a man can
turn himself into a force of evil, of how easy it is to destroy the
fragile balance of life, and how frightening the unknown can be. Tenma
must piece together the few hints he can find to catch Johan, but this
surely is no game of cat & mouse, it is one determined man's
struggle against something much greater, something that might have been
designed to be much greater. But Tenma is not alone, even as Johan
leaves destruction in his wake, Tenma is closing in, the question which
he has to ask of himself is that, knowing what he knows, can he still
claim to know who the Monster is, can he ever win his struggle against
this evil of near-mythical proportions?
