Reason for Award

This is a story about a genius doctor named Tenma and a twin named Yohan whose life he saved. There is always a sense of lurking danger which turns into suspense as Tenma turns into a murderer in his search for Yohan. The clever plot development and the accuracy of the art work make this a hard Manga to put down once you start.
