Did you see the illustration of "the awakening monster"? On the last page, you can see the monster from the cave - it's the same one as in "the monster without a name".

So I thought maybe "the awakening monster" is the prologue, and after the monster leaves the cave, it searches for a beautiful name and is only satisfied with the name "Johan".

But I am still thinking about why Urasawa wants us to read this at the very end... I don't know, this "awakening monster" story is somehow strange. It only tells us, that the people who are missed by someone are the happiest in the world...? Or those who wish for everything are the happiest? (we don't know, both have the same name in the story...)

And it shows us how the monster came into the world...

But why is this story important?

Anyone, any ideas about this book?
