Monster, 20th Century Boys - I've contemplated recommending these two titles. No doubt, Naoki Urasawa has created two of the most intriguing and gruesome stories you will ever read. Both seem to center around the not-so-innocent hearts of children, and ultimately the corruption of power and belief. If you are looking for something mature, and out of the ordinary, this would be a good read. But if you are easily depressed and sickened, or are looking for a story with a concrete ending, I would stay far, far away from these two.
