Description
The classic science fiction–horror manga from the mind of Kazuo Umezz, creator of The Drifting Classroom, Orochi, and Cat-Eyed Boy!
When an industrial robot named Monroe begins to work at his father’s factory, Satoru is fascinated. As he and his friend Marin spend more time with Monroe, they start to suspect there’s more to the machine than anyone else realises. But neither children nor adults are prepared for Monroe’s violent awakening into consciousness.
As the robot Monroe grows ever more intelligent and self-aware, so too does his obsession with finding Satoru and Marin, the children who brought him into this world. After a harrowing escape from Japan, Monroe sets sail for England, where Marin is forced into one horrifying situation after another by an obsessive acquaintance as she struggles to reconnect with the memories she has lost.

About the Author
Kazuo Umezz started drawing professionally in the 1950s and is considered the most influential horror manga artist ever. His many horror and sci-fi/horror works include Cat-Eyed Boy, Orochi, The Drifting Classroom, Senrei (Baptism), My Name is Shingo (winner of the Prix du Patrimoine in 2018 at the Angoulême International Comics Festival), The Left Hand of God/Right Hand of the Devil, and Fourteen. His popular gag series Makoto-Chan and Again prove that Umezz is also an accomplished humor cartoonist. Umezz's weird style, incredible ideas, and sometimes terrifying imagery have made him a fixture of Japanese pop culture, and his work has been adapted into movies, anime, and collectibles.
