Monster - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

The characters Gustav Milch and his girlfriend, who are criminals Tenma encounters, are visually and dynamically similar to Pumpkin and Honey Bunny from Quentin Tarantino's film "Pulp Fiction."

This appears to be a stylistic homage by creator Naoki Urasawa to the iconic 1994 film, which was released around the same time the manga began its serialization. It's a subtle nod to a contemporary piece of crime fiction that shared a similar non-linear and character-focused storytelling style.
