I have completed watching the Monster anime. One thing is not cleared to me:

Johan eliminated all Schuwald's close friends just to get close to him. Once
he became the secretary, his plan was to kill Schuwald. However, he changed
his plan and set fire in that ceremony. My question is why Johan was so
concerned with Schuwald. Why he even changed his plans on killing him?

If we look at the connections between them, we know that Johan's mother and
Margot Langer were friends. Schuwald was aware of it. He even approached
Johan's mother to search Margot. There he saw the twins. And that's it
probably.

So, does Johan wanted to kill Schuwald initially because he saw Johan as a
kid? In the end, he destroyed the books as it would be more painful for
Schuwald?

What was Johan trying to achieve by setting fire in the book donation ceremony in Munich?


The quickest answer to your question is that Johan "awakened" in the midst of
his scheme. After reading that book from his childhood, his character
essentially reverted back to being one who simply wanted to be alone.

In other words, it became a cop out that transformed into a plot point for the
final arc of the story.
