Saiyukiden

Saiyukiden follows the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, the mighty Great Sage Equal to Heaven, in a retelling of the Chinese legend known as Journey to the West.

Freed from his shackles by the monk Sanzang, the Monkey King sets out in the company of a pig that walks upright, a water demon and a gagged nun. His one aim is to defeat the Buddha Shakyamuni, who waits somewhere in India. The road ahead is long and lined with towering obstacles and trials that only gods could overcome.

The book is the work of Katsuya Terada, a Japanese illustrator and manga artist, and was published in French by Pika.
