It is a reinterpretation of the characters from Monica and Friends in teenage versions, in features and language that refer to Japanese manga and stories that seek to engage with a teen audience.

[1] A spin-off based on Chuck Billy 'n' Folks titled Chico Bento Moço was published between 2013 and 2021 with the story running parallel to Monica Adventures.

The story began with a 4-issue saga titled "4 Dimensões Mágicas" (4 Magical Dimensions) where Monica, Jimmy Five, Smudge and Maggy are introduced and reunite with their old enemy Captain Fray (presented with the alter ego Poeira Negra) who freed a Japanese witch Yuka who kidnaps their parents, and forces them to a challenge to get 4 objects through four magical dimensions where they meet other allied characters and villains from their childhood.

[8] Fábio Yabu, who declared that Mauricio de Sousa is one of his idols, criticized the first saga for presenting drastic changes in the characters compared to their original versions (mainly Monica), in addition to the excess of references to Japanese culture.

[10][11] In 2009, a series based on Little Lulu titled Luluzinha Teen e sua Turma was launched, also featuring a teenage, manga-style version of the character as a way of trying to compete with Monica Adventures.
