At least it seems that Monster would follow the manga closely.

Urasawa-sensei staying involved is a good thing. Maybe he and Del Toro and whomever else can prevail upon HBO to not whitewash Tenma. I'd love to see this become a hit with a Japanese Tenma just to prove to those idiots in Hollywood that the audience will reward fidelity to the original source and the courage to go with an Asian lead. Then maybe we would not worry so much about the Hollywood version of Death Note.

I somehow still have nightmares about Justin Bieber as Light, and Light being the hero rather than the villain. I really hope that Hollywood Death Note doesn't turn out that way

(For the record, I haven't seen or read Death Note)
