Latest manga: Monster

I did it! I finished "Monster" 162 chapters manga. About a  brilliant brain surgeon who saves the life of a child who has been shot in the head. The child grows up to be a serial killer, a living monster. When the doctor gets accused of the murders, he decides to hunt down and kill his former patient. "Look at me, look at me, the monster inside me has grown this large. Chomp chomp. Munch munch. Gobble gobble. Gulp" (written in blood at the crime scene) It's creepy stuff. 162 chapters later the doctor catches up to the killer and....

Someone else shoots the killer-- in the head! As the only brilliant brain surgeon around.... the doctor operates on the killer and saves his life AGAIN!
