Saiyuki, the myth of the young stoned monkey, is here revisited in an absolutely crazy way by Osamu Tezuka, in an amusing series directed by Gisaburo Sugii. The gags are exhilarating and the situation are paradoxical. The fact that in Italy it has not succeeded is mainly due to the poor knowledge of the original myth, and then to the misunderstanding of the parody. The character design is of Shigeru Yamamoto.
