Saiyuki
Saiyuki. One of the biggest things to ever hit Japan. This Amazing adventure followes along the Chiniese tale, Journey to the west, which is also seen in such things as Monkey and Dragonball.
This rather extreme adaptation of this story is very popular among the female fans. It is the brilliant work of the wondefull Minekura Kazuya. The mangas got off to such a great start that  Minekura decided to do an amine series of it. After the first series being such a sucess. Minekura went on to do Saiyuki Reload and Gunlock.

The mangas Themselves have just took the journey to the west, and  been released in America and the Uk and it is already making marks. Comic books stores have been selling them as soon as they arrive in the store an having to re-order them just as quick (If I had have been two seconds later the other person would have got my copy). Even though it is loved to death by the fan girls, there are alot of fan boy's out there who can't keep their hands of such an intresting manga. The main characters are Genjo sanzo, Son Goku, Cho Hakkai and Sha Gojo. Four Bishonen Guys traveling around together, makes it so appealing. However, they may be pretty guys, but that doesn't stop them from kicking some  major butt. The mangas have been rated a 16+. Proabaly because of all the violence, but I have heard it been said it ws because of all the inuendos.

Saiyuki makes for a good read, but it's not something you can just pick up and read. It's something that when you read it you stop doing whatever else you might have been doing and end up spending all your savings on it.( You also might end up trying to break into the comic book store because you can't wait till the next one)

It definatly has to be said that Saiyuki is revolutinary. It's something which everyone is going to remeber and love, no matter who you are. And everyone eill have their own Ideas of who is the best character (Goku!) But in the end they are all brilliant and work so brillantly together, for comic value and for friendship. If you haven't bought a copy of Saiyuki yet then you better get your posterior down to a comic book store and buy the mangas. You wil not regret it, even if you do end up with no house and eating only noodles.
