Naoki Urasawa's MONSTER

A Prague police detective from a special investigative team has been killed in Suk's room, and now Suk is being chased as a suspect in a series of murders. Tenma reads about the case in a newspaper...

Nina doesn't know that Johan has disguised himself as her and is confused when people in the street affectionately call her "Anna." Meanwhile, Tenma and Grimmer meet with Captain Karel Lanke, a leader of the former Czechoslovakian secret police.

While searching for the sign with the three frogs, Nina is surprised that she knows the surrounding buildings and streets, but there is a shadow of fear in her memories. Meanwhile, Tenma and Grimmer get an important testimony from Lanke.

All the orphans who adore Grimmer try to prove his innocence. They find the blonde woman (Johan, disguised as Anna) who was at the scene of the murder.

Inspector Lunge arrives at the Red Rose Mansion after finding a hint in a picture book. Afterwards, he meets with Captainl Lanke, a leader of the former Czechoslovakian secret police.

In order to get close to the tycoon Schuwald, Johan used Schuwald's mistress, Margot Langer. Schuwald thinks back to the time he visited the building with the sign with the three frogs when he went searching for Margot three years after they had parted ways.

Tenma is caught in the Czech Republic. He is moved to a police department in Düsseldorf and is questioned daily. Günter Milch, an escape artist, is in the same detention area. When Milch feigns illness, Tenma has a look at him...

Tenma regains hope and decides to tell the truth about Johan. But he is shocked when he sees Baul, the lawyer who pays him a visit. Baul is actually Roberto, Johan's partner who Tenma shot when Roberto attempted to assassinate Schuwald!

Tenma makes a false confession and places the blame on himself. He is moved from the detention area of the police station to a prison. Meanwhile, upon learning that Tenma has confessed, Eva calls the lawyer Baul to tell him that she will testify to prove Tenma's innocence.

Tenma escapes with Milch and tries to warn Eva that she is in danger. Eva is staying in room 402 of the Hotel Steigent. Tenma is unable to contact Eva, so he heads to her room.

Tenma has escaped and is headed to his lawyer Verdeman's house. There, Tenma finds a message inviting him to the Red Rose Mansion. Tenma heads to the Czech Republic while decoding the encoded memo that Verdeman's father left behind.

Nina faints at the Red Rose Mansion and is saved by Lipsky, a puppeteer. When she recovers from the temporary shock, Nina remembers everything that happened on that tragic day that the Lieberts were killed.

Two months earlier, before Tenma escaped, Martin visited Eva's room and took her away. A mysterious man in Frankfurt told Martin to bring Eva to him...

While acting as Eva's bodyguard, Martin becomes determined to protect Eva, even from Tenma, who is searching for Eva. But Eva has found the person she needed to find and their professional relationship is at an end.

Martin ignores the order to kill Eva and plans to escape with her. He follows the mysterious man who was with the man in glasses who hired him to his room. But as if having anticipated he'd come, the man happily begins talking about Martin's past.
