Synopsis

Japanese doctor Kenzo Tenma, who works at Eisler Memorial Hospital in West Germany, is known as a "genius doctor." He has superb surgical skills and a humble nature, and is envied by his colleagues and respected by doctors and patients alike. In his career, Tenma has a bright future and is favored by the hospital director; in love, the director's daughter, Eva, is deeply in love with him and they are inseparable. Yet despite his seemingly perfect life, Tenma gradually feels pangs of conscience. He witnesses the hospital ignoring critically ill ordinary people in order to save important figures, and the accusations and weeping of the deceased patients' families torment him. When this dilemma arises once again, Tenma resolutely chooses to save a boy who has been shot in the head. He sacrifices his career and his love, only to bring about the resurrection of a terrifying monster. Over the following years, Tenma and the monster Johan engage in a battle of wits and courage, and a long-buried history is slowly uncovered... This film is adapted from the manga of the same name by Japanese manga artist Naoki Urasawa.
