His superiors send him on a journey far to the west to discover why this is happening and how to stop it. His companions are three yokai with human souls. But this is no day trip -- the four will encounter many discoveries and horrors on the way, and on the road, Sanzo will wonder... can he really trust his supernatural companions? This is the original "bish ONEn" (pretty boys) action manga, and though it's not yaoi its fandom helped launch the yaoi craze. Old fans will be thrilled it's returning, and new fans will finally have a chance to experience the series. A loose adaptation of the Chinese classic Journey to the West (like the Dragon Ball saga) Hardcover 2-in-1 volumes will include new translation and lettering as well as exclusive bonus content.

"An edgy comic look at an ancient Chinese tale." -YALSA "Possibly the most gonzo version of the circa 1600 Chinese classic Journey to the West I have yet encountered, the pilgrim monk and his supernatural helpers are here re-envisi ONEd as a sort of bish ONEn boy band on the Worst. Roadtrip. Ever. ... the dragon prince that turns into a white horse [in the original] here turns into a jeep."
