	=~~Chapters~~=		''Dragon Quest Monsters+'' ran straight through for 36 chapters — listed as "Nights" with 35 regular "nights" and a "final night" — from the April 2000 through February 2003 issues<ref name="originalsourceandnewcollected"></ref> of Enix's <em>Monthly Shōnen Gangan</em> magazine. The series ran concurrent for a portion of its serialization with the ''Dragon Quest VI'' manga adaptation by Masaomi Kanzaki until its respective end, at which point the ''Dragon Quest VII'' manga adaptation by Fujiwara Kamui began in the February 2001 issue.

			An additional one-shot epilogue chapter was published in the August 2012 issue of Square Enix's <em>Monthly Gangan JOKER</em> magazine<ref name="natalieepilogue"></ref><ref name="dragonquestjpvols34andgaiden"></ref>, which was subsequently included in the fifth (and final) ''shinsōban'' re-release the next month.<ref name="fujisanepiloguecollected"></ref>

	~~See: [[List of~~ Dragon Quest Monsters+ ~~Chapters]]~~		Like the original ''Dragon Quest Monsters'' game world on which it is based, ''Dragon Quest Monsters+'' weaves its story through the world and characters of various ''Dragon Quest'' series, while focusing on a core group based around an all-new "Monster Master" whisked away from his home to the Kingdom of GreatTree. As such, various notable monsters, enemies, and hero characters show up in cameo and supporting roles alongside the all new characters created exclusively for the manga.
