One Man, Three Yokai, and a Dragon on a Road Trip to Hell! The boys are back, in 400-page hardcovers that are as pretty and badass as they are. This hit adventure, which blends mythology from around the world into a classic adventure story, has been out of print for years, and this collector's edition is a fitting celebration of its return!

Genjyo is a Buddhist priest in the city of Shangri-La, which is being ravaged by yokai spirits that have fallen out of balance with the natural order. 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, Genjyo will wonder... can he really trust his supernatural companions?

Praise for Saiyuki: The Original Series Resurrected Edition 1

"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-envisioned as a sort of bishonen boy band on the Worst. Roadtrip. Ever. ... the dragon prince that turns into a white horse [in the original] here turns into a jeep."
