Monster: Ruhenheim

In heavy rain a man in a long coat stands with his back to the viewer and aims a pistol down an empty street. Far along the street a fair-haired man in a dark suit stands and holds a finger to his forehead. Old houses line the street, and a church tower stands at its end under dark clouds.

This is the town of Ruhenheim, near the end of Monster, a manga by Naoki Urasawa. It rains, and the street is empty. Johan Liebert stands in the road and points to his forehead.

Doctor Kenzo Tenma aims a pistol at him. Tenma once saved the life of this man. The painting has 7,559 brush strokes.
