Monster (manga)

Monster is a seinen anime and manga by Naoki Urasawa, serialized in Big Comic Original, published by Shogakukan, between 1994 and 2001, and reprinted in 18 tankōbon. Naoki Urasawa would later release Another Monster, a supplement book detailing the events from the manga as from an investigative reporter's point of view, published by Shogakukan in 2002. A 74 episode anime TV adaptation by Madhouse aired on NTV from April 07, 2004 to September 28, 2005.

The manga is licensed in English by Viz Communications. New Line Cinema has also recently acquired rights to create an English language film version. Josh Olson, whose best-known work has been adapting A History of Violence in 2005, has agreed to write a screenplay adaptation for the movie, and also script a second Monster movie for the studio.
