Monsters (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese one-shot manga written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It was published by Shueisha in the Autumn Special issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump in October 1994. An original net animation (ONA) adaptation titled Monsters: 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation (MONSTERS 一百三情飛龍侍極, Monsutāzu: Ippaku Sanjō Hiryū Jigoku) was produced by E&H Production and premiered on Netflix in January 2024.
Written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda, the Monsters one-shot was published by Shueisha in 1994 in the Autumn Special issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump (with cover date October 30).[6][7] The chapter was collected in the Wanted! Eiichiro Oda Short Stories [ja] volume, which released on November 4, 1998.[8] The character Ryuma would later appear as a zombie in Oda's One Piece manga series during the Thriller Bark story arc, thus officially linking the events of both works.[9][10][11]
Viz Media published the one-shot digitally on January 22, 2024.[12]
In July 2023, it was announced that Monsters would be receiving an anime adaptation,[13][14] which was later revealed to be an original net animation that would go on to premiere worldwide on Netflix on January 21, 2024,[15][16] and January 23 in Japan.[17][a] Medialink sub-licensed the ONA in Asia-Pacific for streaming on their Ani-One Asia YouTube channel.[18]
The ONA was directed by Sunghoo Park, who was also in charge of composition, and animated by his studio E&H Production. Takashi Kojima served as character designer, with Fuminao Akai as art director, Ryoji Nagasawa as color designer, Lee Ju-Mi as director of photography, Keisuke Yanagi as editor, and Akiko Fujita as sound director. The music was composed by Hiroaki Tsutsumi and produced by Takeki Kobayashi.[19]
