About A Thousand and One Nights

A Thousand and One Nights (Senya Ichiya Monogatari) blends adventure and fantasy by Mushi Production (1969). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: Aladdin, a lowly water seller, is new to the metropolis of Baghdad when he sees the beautiful Miriam being sold at a slave auction. Enthralled by her beauty, Aladdin manages to steal Miriam from the auction and spends a passionate night with her in an unoccupied home.

From there, when the two wake, however, they are met by the owner of the home and are tragically separated. Osamu Tezuka's lustful tale follows Aladdin and Miriam as they struggle to reunite with each other while facing the trials of a strange and magical world.

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling.

Production & Appeal

Mushi Production is the studio behind A Thousand and One Nights, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. The adventure focus matters here: exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. With a 6.2/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 1969, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
