Monster is about the nightmare of realizing your best intentions can sometimes have the most disastrous consequences. For Dr. Tenma, a brilliant neurosurgeon, this occurs when he chooses to save the life of a little boy over the life of the mayor of Düsseldorf, against the wishes of the Head Surgeon of Eisler Memorial Hospital. This story chronicles the lengths that Dr. Tenma will go to in order to make reparations for that one mistake as he travels a winding and seldom-used road.

When Ray was a child, she lived in a mysterious orphanage where children were bought and sold, and subjected to experimental surgery. Though she survived the experience, it changed her life forever. Now a young and skilled doctor, Ray operates on patients no one else dares touch, and cures illnesses that leave others baffled. She's blessed not only with phenomenal natural talent, but also a supernatural gift that takes her surgical ability to the next level: x-ray vision! But when Ray begins a new job at a private clinic, the secrets of her past begin to haunt her…

It isn't unusual for a person to feel that the world around them is strange and has unexpected secrets lying just beyond their sight. However, for most people this is just an occasional sensation that greets them upon awakening or chases them into sleep. For the mushi researcher Ginko, it isn't a feeling at all; it is a knowledge which guides his travels and motivates his life. Found in the cracks between what is conceivable and what is not, are the varied life forms collectively known as mushi. They surround us and affect us, but their intensely different nature makes them unrecognizable to most. Ginko brings these life forms into perspective for the lives of those most affected and most in need of an explanation.
