Everyone remember that classic story of ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'', where 3 travelers help a monk to right their misdeeds?

'''[[WellThisIsNotThatTrope This is not that story...]]'''

''Chinyuki: Taro To Yukaina Nakama Tachi'' is a parody of ''Journey to the West'', where an assassin by the name of Taro Yamada is trying to right his misdeeds by travelling with a monk. Taro's misdeeds were essentially assassinating tons of people and pooping on their graves. A monk saw him and cursed him into a baby-monkey-hybrid-thing. With the help of the Monk, Taro has to battle demons and other weird anomalies to help regain his human form. The series was eventually cancelled after disturbing ''[[Magazine/ShonenJump Weekly Shonen Jump's]]'' demographic.

Eventually the series was revived with ''Chinyuki 2'' in the ''Business Jump'' magazine, where the story was essentially the same but Taro Yamada's baby-esque form was replaced by E-Taro, who was essentially a business man/nerd stereotype.

[[UnexpectedCharacter Also, he's appearing as a playable character in]] ''[[VideoGame/JStarsVictoryVS J-Stars Victory VS]]''.
