I have finished reading manga and I love this one! The story is really well developed and deep. It never stop surprising you! However:
Is Johan (the evil guy) a made monster or a born monster? Of course, at first, he appears to be a devil incarnation, pure evil to the bone and was born that way. He enjoys doing whatever he is doing. He just seems to have this “power” to influence people to the degree that nobody else can. As his past is revealed, it becomes vagus if Johan is a born monster. It seems that he is deeply hurt by her mother’s reaction when she gives up one of the twins to the people for experiment. He feels abandoned, very understandably. Yet, does that alone can transform Johan into the person he is today, like the most evil person ever walked on the surface of earth? That incident is the only thing I can see which hurts little Johan and possibly change his personality forever. I am not sure if Johan really loves Nina, his twin sister, or not. At first glance, it seems that she is the only one he truly cares. He found good foster parents for her and left. She lived with no knowledge for his evil doing, hence protected her from all the harm. When she is now an adult, Johan seeks out for her. Whenever Nina has contacted with Johan’s “organization”, e.g., the “baby” etc, a specific order was given and Nina has been treated very nicely by those bad guys. If it weren’t for Johan, I think she would have been killed 5 min. after being kidnapped by any of the bad guys. Yet, when Johan finally meets Nina, he tries to kill her, again, by using his power which affects people and induces them to commit suicide. Another thing is, if Johan feels abandoned by his mother, it’s possible that he believes her mother loves Nina more and hence, wants to kill her. However, Johan seems genuinely loves Nina. Which is it? Asides from that, Johan appears to enjoy disguising as Nina ever since he is a child. What is he doing wearing his sister’s clothes and even a wig when Nina escapes from the red rose mansion and runs back home? “Welcome back,” he says. Nina thought she was seeing herself in front of her very eyes! One last thing. At final volume, Dr. Tenma finds the twin’s mother. She said that the man killed her lover and therefore, she will never forgive him. I just don’t like holding grudge against someone for a long time. It really twists one’s personality and s/he can dwell into those negative emotions forever, hence hurting people around, including him/herself. Look at what she did to her twin. Yes, one may argue that it’s very hard not to do so if you hate someone that much. But it still doesn’t change the fact that you are just going to dwell into that big hole forever. Unless she is willing to pull herself out from that hole, nobody can help her. Such a long post. I appreciate anyone who read this. |

Johan never left the three frog place. He could not have run back home because he was already there and never went to the red rose mansion. He was not sent away. I don't know if the twin's mother made a mistake sending the wrong child for experiment. If like you say, everyone is capable of becoming a monster, what does that matter which of the twin was the subject of the experiment? If Johan is the "boss," maybe Nina can do that, too. After all, she is Johan's sister, isn't she? Someone makes a commit about those "eyes" of Nina when she was threatening him. That rage, those eyes, she looks just like Johan. Not only she looks like Johan, but you can see Johan in her. Frankly, I don’t think the twin’s mother even knows about Johan’s “potential.” She was drown in her own rage toward Franz too much to notice that. |

The tendency of cross-dressing for Johan started at the time when Nina was sent to do the study in the red rose mansion. Their mom want to give the other people illusion that there is only one child, therefore dress him like his sister, and since they are twins, it's not difficult. I think in a psychological standpoint, that cross-dressing affect Johan's personality, and therefore give him a second personality as his sister. That was also revealed in the book when the monster splits apart. |
