Published in Japan in the bi-weekly manga magazine Big Comics Original, Monster became a best-seller since it began all serialized in 1994 until its end in 2001, hobnobbing in the charts with series like Rurouni Kenshin or Sakura Card Carptor. But the success of Urasawa's work has more merit if you consider it has not had the support of merchandising or parallel products such as animation and video game series (only when you have finished the manga has announced the appearance of a graphic novel and preparing a film adaptation), probably because it is a work that is intended for adult audiences. In addition, Monster took the prestigious Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 1999.
