Monster (Manga)

Monster ( - in katakana - モンスタ [Monsutā] ) (a.k.a Naoki Urasawa's Monster ) is a seinen manga series written and illustrated by Naoki Urasawa, published by Shogakukan in Big Comic Original from December 5, 1994 to Dec 20, 2001, containing 162 chapters in 18 tankōbon volumes. Urasawa later wrote and illustrated the novel Another Monster, a story detailing the events of the manga from an investigative reporter's point of view, which was published by Shogakukan in 2002.

Trivia

 * The third volume (Kinderheim 511), is either so expensive (about £30) or out of printing most place.
 * A certain man named Stephen translated the manga to English, which can be found right here.
 * A deluxe edition was also released, which includes 9 volumes instead of 18 (2 original volumes merged per book), a title tracing paper page, graphic retouch, pages colored by Naoki Urasawa himself, and a 14.8 x 21 format instead of 12.7 x 18.
