The series ran for 36 chapters (35 "nights" and a "final night") from the April 2000 through February 2003 issues[1] of Enix's Monthly Shōnen Gangan magazine.
An additional one-shot epilogue chapter was published in the August 2012 issue of Square Enix's Monthly Gangan JOKER magazine[2][3], which was subsequently included in the fifth (and final) shinsōban re-release the next month.[4]
Plot
Kleo dreams of becoming a gallant, monster-slaying hero, and when a twist of fate sees him whisked off to a strange and distant land, it seems he's finally got his chance. But the king doesn't want Kleo slaying monsters–he wants him training them, preparing mighty creatures to fight against the forces of darkness. Unfortunately, the kingdom's a little short on monsters at the moment...and Kleo's journey begins with only one sassy slime to back him up. It's a quirky quest with one majorly reluctant hero![5]
