Dragon Quest Monsters+ is a spin-off manga series by Mine Yoshizaki (吉崎観音) set in the world of Dragon Quest focusing on the "Monsters" sub-brand.

The series ran for 36 chapters (34 "nights", a final night, and an epilogue) from the April 2000 through February 2003 issues[1] of Enix's Monthly Shōnen Gangan magazine.

An additional one-shot chapter — "Dragon Quest Monsters+ Side Story" (ドラゴンクエストモンスターズ+外伝 Doragon Kuesuto Monsutāzu Purasu Gaiden) — was published in the August 2012 issue of Square Enix's Monthly Gangan JOKER magazine.[2][3]

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![4].

Title

The title of Dragon Quest Monsters+ can be broken down as:

  • "Dragon Quest" (ドラゴンクエスト Doragon Kuesuto): The overall franchise to which this manga series is a part of
  • "Monsters" (モンスターズ Monsutāzu): The sub-franchise to which this manga series is a part of; the "Monsters" series of video games began with "Terry's Wonderland" on the Nintendo Game Boy in 1998 (eventually making its way internationally as "Dragon Warrior Monsters" in 2000), and continues to this day.
  • "+" (Purasu): The appended "Plus" punctuation.
