Summary:

A strange Journey to the West manga where everything is substandard. Sanzo Hoshi, who is supposed to be protected, is handsome, macho, and super natural. Sanzo Hoshi, the supremely powerful monk, sets out on a journey to reach Tenjiku. His first companion, Son Goku, is a cute girl monkey, but he is a super pervert. Familiar friends such as Hakuryu, Hakkai, and Gojo also gather, but all of them are disciples with problems. Journey to the West is full of gags, with strong characters running amok. Sanzo and his disciples travel to Tenjiku. Even though the setting is the same, the characters change, making for a heart-wrenching gag. The disciple's role is to protect the great monk Sanzo and safely reach Tenjiku. However, this Sanzohoshi is stronger than anyone else, and he is not a character that can be protected. Also, in many Journey to the West manga, Goku can be seen fooling around, but in this work, he is too playful, and most of the scenes are dirty jokes. It is typical of gag manga that Sanzo doesn't warn Goku, and the story progresses almost freely.
