A one-shot manga titled 'Little Monster' by French creator NÉO was published on Shonen Jump+ on May 21.
The story follows Alice, a fast-food worker whose goal is to make everyone she meets smile. Her overwhelmingly cheerful personality eventually catches the attention of a television station, leading to an offer to appear on a game show.
'Little Monster' was originally submitted in December 2025 to 'MANGA Plus Creators by SHUEISHA' ('MPC'), a manga platform for overseas creators run by the Shonen Jump+ editorial department. It received the top Gold Prize in the platform's monthly awards, earning publication rights on both Shonen Jump+ and MANGA Plus by SHUEISHA.
'Little Monster' is the second title from the platform to be published on Shonen Jump+, following 'NO\NAME' by Rafal Jaki and MACHINE GAMU, and the first by a French creator.
