MONSTER by Naoki Urasawa is one of my favorite manga currently being published here in the U.S.-- and I did this sketch for my blog where I extoled its virtues. I drew Tenma --the main character-- to (hopefully) look more Japanese than he does in the manga. For some reason, Urasawa draws Tenma to look just as western as all the other characters in the manga-- who are mostly German.

Yay!

I read Monster two months ago, and i absolutely loved the story and characters. My favourites, perhaps "the invincible steiner" ;) and Nina...

And you're right about the drawing... Tenma doesn't look as a japanese man... But that happens in many Urusawa works... Some main characters in Yawara! didn't look as japanese, either...

Ah yes read the manga (and still do) some time ago...one of my favourite.
And as Blaguesmith pointed out some of the characters really doesn't look very japanese - think you did a good job to push Tenma a bit in the right way :D

That's great, Monster is one of my absolute favorites too.

20th Century Boys is also another great manga by Naoki Urasawa that is still ongoing in Japan. It was licensed by Viz (I believe) a little while ago so I suspect it'll hit the US soon!

I myself am a great fan of Monster. Naoki is great at creating suspense in his work and I'm always at the end of my seat. :)
Cool lineart and ecclectism in reads!!!

Probably just habit. Most other anime characters don't look all that Asian, either.

I only saw a few episodes of the anime and loved it. I'm probably going to torrent the series when I get my new computer.
