The visual story in the ED keeps getting more and more intriguing, I wonder what exactly it has to do with the main story.

If I remember correctly, there were two 'monsters' at the begining and they both went separate ways...One possessed a villager, gave him super strength, and thus all the other villagers cheered him, but then the monster inside of him revealed itself. That's the story so far, I think.

I was wondering what the hell was going on for the entire ep because that guy and girl look suspiciously like Tenma and Eva so I thought it was a weird flashback...but now I know it's Johan's uni like they were talking about in the last ep; with him being a student.


Same here, I thought it was Tenma and Eva for the first five minutes, until she said his name. I thought they even had changed names. It's because of the similarity, of course, and the vas are the same. This anime has a problem with recycling vas and character design.

Let us be honest here, no one gives a fuck about this episode, until Johan actually appears. The author has got to improve his writing in transitioning into a new story/arc, and not just dump it onto the viewer and ask them to just suck it up.

I am also not a fan of how over-familiar that girl was when she just met the guy about, like what, a few days ago? "The Thursday guy must have been a fake!! He must have killed himself because he's guilty!", because obviously you have the DNA test result for the Tuesday guy and the old man, right?

Also not a fan of the Tuesday guy's goody personality, "It's not about the MONEH", but the hell it wasn't. "I heard that this place pays extremely well", not only he's gunning for 'em moneh, he has ill will of watching the old man falls. Bruh, staph pretending to be that goody dude you make yourself out to be.

The individual/episodic story is going downhill, slowly but surely, even though the outcome may be fantastic, it doesn't excuse the poor and/or lazy setup.

It is precisely because of this and many other reasons that I couldn't see Monster as the masterpiece it supposed to be, despite having a lot of good points.

P.S. Bring back Tenma please!

Weird episode with two new characters and without Tenma.
At least Johan appeared right at the end, he's a student in Munich.

Why the fuck is every character in this show look alike? I was letting it slide when it was just side characters, but now they even made a character that look like the fuckin Main Character!

This new guy and girl look exactly like Tenma and Eva, i was confused for the whole episode thinking it was some weird Steins;Gate flashback or something



anyway, Johan is finally back! HYPE LEVEL OVER 9000!

Trying to catch Johann is like hunting down a unicorn. He doesn't exist.
Finally after chasing him for 21 episodes he's here

I hate those types of girls jumping up on things without knowing anything about it just because they are clever .
Since Johan is Friday's reader its gonna be really interesting to see him more often revealing his feelings & thoughts and struggles
And it was really annoying that we didn't get a chance to see Tenma and Diter and that prostitute looked just like Eva's old version

Wow! I'm so happy to see Johan Liebert again. This time, he's one of the student in a university. They must reveal something about him, he looks like lonely for me. I hope everything escalates quickly. I feel excited now.

Finally we get to see Johann lol. It was an okay episode, if anything it was nice to get a change of pace by focusing on a new university student. Seems like the next ep will have to do with Johann so that must be interesting.

When they said the Thursday guy was handsome and blonde, I thought for sure it was Johan. Because you knew this story had to somehow tie back into the main story. So when I found out Johan was the Friday guy, I had already been preparing myself for a Johan appearance. And it's about damn time, too. They talk about him in every episode, yet we haven't seen him talk more than once way back when.


Lol, exactly this. For a moment I thought Edmund Fahren was one of his pseudonyms.

Let's see how this goes. Johan must make a regular appearance.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

This is how you build up to a character introduction.

At first I wasn't too sure what to make of this episode, but retrospectively it was a suspenseful and great episode.

This episode seemed so random at the beginning, it was painful to watch, especially since the girl sounded so annoying, why does she have to get into the boy's life? Just leave him alone.

It honestly got better towards the end only, when Johan appeared. But it was worth it.

oh wow, i really thought that johan was the thursday boy. even after seeing the suicide in edmund's room, i really thought it was something all set up by johan

i definitely knew he had to be involved in this storyline somehow though, because i don't think the mangaka would introduce a bunch of new characters without somehow tying it back to either tenma or johan

woow but as soon as i heard the voice at the end i knew it was johan and i was actually really shocked. i'm surprised he uses the name johan liebert as well - thought for sure he would use a different name

really great to see johan again tho. tenma is an interesting character and all but i'm dying to see and learn more about johan

I love how this show can just introduce two new characters that seemingly have nothing to do with the main plot, but it slowly unravels how they’re also caught up in Johan’s world

The complaints about this not focusing enough on Tenma don’t seem to understand this show...it jumps locations, times, and character point of views very often. I think it helps the world building to understand various points of views and it helps build upon the themes of death, corruption, and money

Wow, rounding it up, we are one-third (1/3) of the series. The slow pacing is sure a pain, but I hope it's worth it.

Damn, more characters being introduced. They never stop coming.

Finally, we get to see Johan again. I wonder why he's in the university for. I guess it's to get close to the students. Get close, manipulate, then use them as pawns.

It also doesn't seem like he going to be a shadow character in this arc, but one that actually appears on screen and does stuff.

And he is having contact with Karl. I'm of course excited how the story continues.
