For those who have already had the pleasure of reading Monsters, its incredible storyline has left a lasting impression. However, many of Oda’s devoted fans might not be familiar with this hidden gem. Fortunately, there is fantastic news for them, as the official One Piece YouTube channel recently announced that Monsters will be transformed into an anime series.

While specific details regarding the anime adaptation are yet to be revealed, the announcement video disclosed that Sunghoo Park, acclaimed for his work on series like Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, Overlord, and Yuri on Ice, will be directing the project. Additionally, the animation will be handled by E&H Productions, which will be taking on their most significant project to date.

Originally released in 1994 in Shueisha Jump, Monsters was later featured in Wanted! – a special collection of Oda’s five one-shots, each with its own captivating narrative. With just 45 pages in total, Monsters is a compact manga series that could ideally be adapted into a single-season anime or even a thrilling anime movie.

Regardless of the format chosen, the upcoming anime promises to be an exceptional way for fans to witness Oda’s storytelling brilliance beyond the expansive world of One Piece. As fans eagerly wait for further updates, including the release date, cast, and staff members, the prospect of experiencing Monsters: Ippyakusanjo Hiryu Jigoku on the screen is an exciting one.

This story revolves around Ryuma, a wandering samurai, who unknowingly becomes entangled in a web of deceit and betrayal orchestrated by two criminals, Cyrano and D.R. A dragon’s horn, with wondrous powers, was stolen years ago, but its significance has been forgotten. Ryuma encounters Flare, a brave waitress with a tragic past involving a dragon attack on her village.

As events unfold, Ryuma is falsely accused of theft and blamed for summoning a dragon to destroy a town. However, he ultimately reveals his true strength and heroism, defeating the dragon and exposing the true culprits, making him the world’s greatest swordsman.

As the wait for the anime adaptation of Monsters grows, fans of Eiichiro Oda’s exceptional storytelling can hardly contain their excitement. On top of that, the animation, under the direction of Sunghoo Park, adds to the excitement. Till then, let’s just wait for more information to unfold and hope for its release soon.
