Summary:
Journey to the West, one of the four great Chinese classical novels, has taken on a completely different look in the hands of the Japanese manga master Osamu Tezuka. Sun Wukong, who was born from a stone, once dominated the world and made a living by cutting people on the streets. Later, he was imprisoned by the evil king and met Little Draong Girl. After that, he became a disciple of Draong Immortal, and not only learned 72 transformations but also got the precious Ruyi Jingu Bang. Sun Wukong, who had greatly increased his abilities, gathered in the mountains and forests, robbed the rich and helped the poor, and even alarmed the heavens, causing a series of good dramas in the heavens. In the end, he was suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain by the Buddha because he overestimated his own abilities. With the help of the timid Tang Monk, Sun Wukong regained his freedom. Later, they met Zhu Bajie, who was wearing a suit and a bow tie, and Sha Wujing, who loved money and dug for treasures everywhere. The master and his disciples thus embarked on a dangerous and fun adventure to the West…
