Betrayed by Frankenstein's failure to "make a companion with whom could share joy," the Creature vows to destroy everything that his creator loves. The female monster attacks the Creature with scissors, forcing him to kill her in self defense. As the Creature smiles in anticipation for his new companion, his female counterpart reacts in horror at the sight of him, despite the fact that she herself is also created from corpses. While the novel's Frankenstein eventually destroys the female creature he had begun to construct, Ito's Frankenstein is successful in making one for the monster. The Frankenstein manga is refreshingly faithful to Shelley's text, with the exception of one detail that makes Ito's story even more horrifying than the original.

Upon seeing his creation come to life, Frankenstein was revolted, rejecting the Creature who in turn discovers that his appearance makes him incapable of joining human society. It begins with the discovery of a shivering Victor Frankenstein in the Arctic Circle, who recounts his early life and education before revealing that he created a creature from the flesh of corpses. Ito's Frankenstein manga closely follows the plot of Mary Shelley's novel.
