I’m a huge fan of legend adaptations, so of course I’ll read another adaptation of Journey to the West. Naturally, this made me nostalgic for manga I read as a teen line Saiyuki that also adapt this story. This has a fun balance of silly & serious. I laughed when Genie didn’t react to Sun Wukong’s identity reveal. I picked this up because I loved Yee’s work in the Avatar novels and because I’m always hunting for local authors to enjoy.
