Re:Monster is based on the Alphapolis-polished books from Kogitsune Kanekiru. Seven Seas Entertainment describes the manga adaptation by Haruyoshi Kobayakawa as:
Tomokui Kanata has suffered an untimely death, but his adventures are far from over. He is reborn into a fantastical world of monsters and magic—as a lowly goblin! But Kanata, or Gob-Rou as he is now named, is not about to let that stop him. With a combination of memories from his old life, a brand new body, and a monstrous appetite, Gob-Rou thrives in this new world where he must devour other creatures to gain their powers. It takes strength, smarts, and a strong stomach to survive in this action-packed fantasy!
Kanekiru originally published Re:Monster as a web novel on Shousetsuka ni Narou. The light novel series first ran from 2012 to 2017 with 10 volumes, including a Volume 8.5, and a side story volume. In 2018, the light novels returned with Re:Monster — The Dark Continent Arc, which has three volumes as of 2020.
Most of the Re:Monster light novels were illustrated by Yamaada, with NAJI yanagida illustrating the current Dark Continent entries.
